After seeing Newey for the first time, and after we were alone getting pudding and jello together in the hospital kitchen, Max says to me:

“Do you feel any different?

Me: “No. Do you?”

Max: “Yes. Who will Mama love more?”

The doctor’s first comment after seeing Newey out of the womb was that Newey had a prominent dimple in his chin.

Max is grossed out by the extra piece of skin next to Newey’s ear. I told him that in rare circumstances, the skin can survive after the doctor removes it. It can then grow a heart, lungs, brain and grow into a small person, a midget or a dwarf. And Max will have to bring him to show-and-tell at school saying, “This is my other little brother.” We have to choose a name for it.
