Lol, indeed. This will be an interesting thing to have done, actually at some point being able to record the birth of your child. More lives saved, each day through discovery!

Inexplicably, no matter which way they aligned the crib, the baby would squirm and move until its head was pointed due north.

Pretty amazing. I’d like to see more pictures. I wonder, though, if that’s in any way damaging to a new little baby ...
