I wonder if looking at this baby and thinking about the loss of the other might not be psychologically a good idea, if it might make you think when he pees all the way down the stairs or fails French in Grade 9 that your perfect neverborn baby wouldn't have done that, if that shadow might come between you and the real person he will be. I think you're too sensible for this, once he's really there and solid in your arms.
