Well, for cryin' out loud Kyle, you don't stand at THAT end of the delivery 
table, you shoot the little guy from the Other end of the table just AFTER  
arrival being held up by his feet, bellowing out the first of many cries that 
mom and dad will stagger through the night to quell for the next couple of 
years(decades)! Besides, having to concentrate on shooting the photos makes 
it much easier for the new father to remain conscious through the process...
