Having a Premature Baby

"First of all, you don't think you're going to have a preemie. When you think about a baby, you think about the Gerber kid, or the Gap baby. You're not thinking about a baby this small, or somethink being wrong with him. When you ask questions, there's so much uncertainty, because no one wants to reassure you about anything, because no one really knows what the outcome can and will be."

"I think when I first touch him I might just cry like crazy, because...I just feel him now, you know...I just feel him, and I don't know how he's gonna actually feel...that he's going to really be a person. He's going to move, and he's going to look at me, and I'm going to tell him, "You put me though a lot of trouble to be here, so you better be the president."
