Right, what else would you say? Still just amazing, makes me start to 
imagine what having a child must be like. Hadn't really had much reason to 
consider it before. You see the Time-Life photos of the baby in the womb, 
you hear the general stories, but it's like a fable of the national 
consciousness. Until it's personal--like so many things, good and evil both. 
Put this almost into the "never thought it would happen to me," realm, 
though obviously it *didn't* happen to me. But Rachel... Seems not so long 
ago I'd have to babysit her after school, and when she didn't get her way 
she'd pack her little Cabbage Patch Kids suitcase and get ready to run away. 
Then a great scramble to make up ridiculous stories and make laugh, against 
her will--convince her to stay. And now...

Well go listen:
