Happy birthday?
Isabela Pereira de Jesus — who was conceived around the time Grumpy Cat died — appears to channel the famed sourpuss in this photograph taken moments after her birth in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Feb. 13.
“She opened her eyes wide but did not cry. The doctor even had to say, ‘Cry, Isa!’” said photographer Rodrigo Kunstmann, who was hired by mom Daiane de Jesus Barbosa to document the birth, according to news.com.au.
“She made that serious expression and only started crying after the umbilical cord was cut,” he told local magazine Crescer after the C-section birth.
Doctors make sure that newborns cry right after birth because it shows their lungs are working properly and it helps them clear fluids from their body.
The internet has predictably gone gaga over the indelible image that captured Isabela making a “cross old man’s face,” which the proud mother said proves how brave her baby is.
“My baby was born courageous,” she told Brazilian news outlet G1, according to the Daily Mail.
“It’s a meme already. She always wrinkles her forehead when changing diapers and nursing. Isabela was supposed to be born on the 20th, but she chose her day already showing her personality,” she added.
Social media users reacted to Isabela’s postpartum peevishness on Facebook, where Kunstmann shared his snaps.
“Poor munchkin. She’s only been on the planet for a few minutes and she has had enough,” one wrote.
“Not only the frown. Look at those eyes, if looks can kill, they are like daggers,” another said.
A third noted “the look of reincarnation. Oh no! Not this place again!”
– “What? I ain’t ready yet. So you put me back in there and I’ll call you when I’ll be ready.
*Not yet Feb 29 and he is pulling me out of this.*
Mom get ready, I am coming back in!”
“The mom hired a photographer to document the birth and she made comments to outlets about the picture so if there is anyone to blame, blame the parents.”
“She didn’t want to be moved….she was perfectly happy inside her mama’s womb”
“When you come to the world again after a thousand reincarnations and you find that you haven’t gotten yet a billionaire family.”
“That is the face of being yanked out of your cozy 98 degree room into a 68 degree ice box of an operating room. She is not impressed.”
“That picture should never have been published. It will follow that poor baby for the rest of her life.”
“You realize that I was in a perfectly comfortable room with excellent temperature control and room service, but NOOOOOO, you had to invade my privacy and now you want to stick me with a bill?”
“Doctor, would you please put me back in. I’m not due for another day.”
“The baby looks like he wants to punch the doc straight in the face. Lol”
“That kid must be from The Bronx. That’s The Goodbye Look!”
“He’s got Greta beat, hands down, on happiness.”
“Should we wait another few minutes before we tell him it just gets worse from here….”
