Drew Magary's wife gave birth seven weeks early. He narrates his terror and relief:
It's amazing that, even though the world's seven billion or so people are all unique, there are things that virtually all of them MUST have in common at the anatomical and sub-anatomical level in order to survive. You have chromosomes in your body that map out specific instructions for how your body must be built. You must have two eyes and two ears and a mouth. All your internal organs must be present and connected in a very specific way. Your brain can't be located in your feet. There are a million things that have to go right in order for you to be a functional, working human being. I was very much afraid that my son would not have those million things go right.
