An excerpt:

> After Cordelia came out, I went over to where they were cleaning off the gook to get a good look and touch her gently. The nurse said, "Say something to her."
>
> Being about 8 seconds into my first experience with newborns, I said the first thing which came into my mind: "Hello, Cordelia. Welcome to the world. It's not going to get much better."
