Everything looks very good. His Babinski Reflex, for example.

Is that where you

Now, will the father be in the room with you?

He said he would, yes.

That'll start up the paper trail. Do you have a name?

We're thinking possibly, "John."

"John Swanson." It's like a little poem. What else?

Can I ask you...sorry, this is so general, but...I mean, what should I do? How should I be?

Apologies, I'm sorry, I make this speech a lot.

No, no, it's great, it sounds completely unrehearsed. Thank you. I'm grateful for anything. It's good to hear these things.

Does your eye itch?

A little. Is that a problem?

Just for you. Because it itches.

Oh, right. Is there anything else I should do? In the first little while?

Neither science nor religion has yet undone the wonder of the crying baby in air and light, grasping onto a finger.

You make it all sound so noble. Which it is, which I'm sure it is. I'm sort of alone, in this, at the moment. I'm sort of afraid, sometimes. It's hard to believe so many women have done this before.

Well, it's just all sort of surreal.

A little person inside you is going to come out of you.

It's almost vaudevillian.

This is one time it makes good sense to just sit back and breathe and try to believe in miracles.

All right, I will. What happens to you when you're born? Does it hurt?

It's so beautiful, it's so mysterious. You won't believe it. We have three.

Congratulations. That must be great.

As for the actual birth, we were worried, too, but, no surprises.

I'm glad. What about yours?

Oh, I don't know. I'm sure it was fine.

Were you close to your mother?

She's still with us. Great lady. What else, anything else?

I'm sure, but nothing I can think of.

Activity can help the labor along. All right?

Thank you. Yes. Thanks.

Good. Perfect. Sorry I have to rush.

No, I appreciate your time. If I think of anything or if I have any -- you're busy, sorry, thanks. Bye.
