Barry, a proud, expecting father, imagines his soon-to-be first daughter in glowing terms: "She'll be gorgeous, I just know it. Glowing skin, pretty brown eyes, beautifully-shaped head, well-proportioned body."

your job to tell Barry what a newborn really looks like. What do you say?

What will be an ideal response?

A more complete description of a newborn can be found in the text. Students' descriptions should include the facts
that newborns' heads are usually very large in relation to their bodies and their skulls are frequently misshapen as a
result of being squeezed during the birth process. Their skin may still have remnants of vernix caseosa, which is the
white, cheesy coating that protects the skin before birth, so their skin may not, in fact, be "glowing." The baby will
be wet due to the amniotic fluid. Newborns can turn their heads and eyes toward voices, and they can see to some
extent, so Barry might be able to observe the "pretty brown eyes." The baby should have reflexes such as turning
the head when the cheek is stroked, sucking when the lips are touched, and grasping when a finger is placed in the
hand.
