Christopher,
I guess I must be that kind Nutter. But with the careful choice of
angles, I would not have missed it for the world. Granted these are not
the kind of photos you show just anyone, but of all people, even my wife
who generally won't let me take her picture unless she's had the better
part of an hour in front of a mirror is very pleased with the results.
Our Doctor even has a wall of photos in their office to commemorate the
babies born that year. It is one of the few events of this magnitude
you have any warning of. And if by some small chance you don't like the
results you can always throw them away, but wait at least one year
before doing so. I have some of my shots as part of the random slide
show I use as a screen saver, and any time one of those come up my wife
always comments about "How Small", "I can't believe She was..." ect.
I used the OM-2s, winder 2, Tokina 28-85 ATX and a T32 with good
results. Ceiling height didn't allow for successful bounce flash, but
the 2s on Auto did a great job. If you are worried about being
obtrusive just use an XA.
Good Luck and Congratulations,

PS. If you haven't had any kids yet don't worry, All of the stories
you have been told are true! But you won't realize this until it is too
late (well it's already too late). Besides children are the best reason
of all to justify using and buying more Olympus stuff.
