On Thursday, 2.19.09, my wife and I had our first child, Miles. I was able to bring my A1 into the delivery room and film the post-birth.

The camera performed like a champ, but in true idiot fashion, I missed some crucial shots. (You know how it goes, when you review the footage and you see video of the floor and your shoes. Apparently, I was a bit nervous.)

I won't bore you with the footage, but here are some screen grabs. (BTW, the doctors and nurses all think the A1 is "cool". They are used to seeing small camcorders and digital cameras. )

Be glad you bought the XH-A1 before Miles was born. Your wife won't be letting you pick up any new toys for a long time now that the baby is out.
 
Congrats dude.

A buddy of mine and his wife just had their first kid about a month ago. Pretty amazing stuff. Glad to see the A1 is not forgotten during such hectic and exciting times. You'll be able to capture some excellent growing up footage over the coming years.

Not so fast there, most wifes wouldn't notice if you didn't tell them. The new A1S looks like the same old A1 to me. Same with the hvx200, looks just like the 200A.

FYI don't feel guilty about it, they do the same thing to us with purses and shoes, we just don't have any idea or really care. Do you realize how many black purses or shoes your wife could / does buy without you noticing... Goes both ways :)
 
Congrats. You won't be getting any sleep for a few months. I have 2 small children and it is such beautiful thing. It's not easy, but it's not supposed to be. Again congrats on a healthy baby boy!

If you are getting a new cam. Do it now. Kids are expensive! and will remain that way for the next 20 years.

Ha ha true. I squeaked in buying the IKAN reference monitor a few days before the birth.

Glad most of my gear is in place....but will all be obsolete in a year or so! :Drogar-Dum(DBG):

The wife only notices the UPS truck's frequent visits and cardboard boxes around the house.

And yes, filth, no sleep whatsoever.
