All the World's a Baby

Either my hormones are playing tricks with me or I'm going insane. Since I gave birth last week, most fully grown adults I see look like little babies. Their limbs seem shorter and chubbier, their cheeks more puffy, and their noses are tiny. I really started to worry when I switched on Newsnight and even that nasty old George Bush looked like he could do with a nappy change and a bounce on someone's knee (although strangely enough, Jeremy Paxman didn't look in the least bit infantile - maybe his nose is just that little bit too big).
Maybe it's the fact that I've spent about 90% of the last week staring intently at Oscar's little features which has caused this odd phenomenon (a bit like when you get off a ferry and still feel like you're floating up and down). I know your eye sight changes during pregnancy - so maybe my lenses have somehow changed back into more widescreen mode again - causing temporary chubbiness in adults. But that seems pretty unlikely I admit.
I rolled over in bed a few days ago and was convinced that Neil had put the baby in bed with me - in actual fact it was the man himself - complete with full five o'clock shadow and chest hair. Not an easy mistake to make you might think, so I'll just put it down to the power of hormones.
