I don't think any of these pictures will do you justice. It's the age old problem of a good snapshot not being a good portrait reference.
I think the first photo poses very difficult problems with your face. Look how the curves of your cheek, nose, and chin overlap. Looks fine in a photo, but it will be hard to translate into paint (pastel?).
I think you could find someone to take the picture for you, if you do all the real work, and get the other person to snap the shutter. Set up in front of a large mirror to keep an eye on things. Getting a good picture of you AND your baby all in one shot will be tricky. You might want to wait until she's asleep, and take a nurturing-mom-sleeping-child picture.
