As a dad myself, dudes who willingly deny themselves being in the presence of the miracle of childbirth let alone being there for the entirety of what comes after baffles me.
When my first was born via emergency c section. After he was out they wrapped him up and we got a moment together with him. I was so focused on the baby especially after the emergency-c that my wife went completely out of my mind. They took him to get him to the nic U and I followed. Didn't even realize I didn't say bye or anything to my wife until it hit me later.
I apologized later. She said it was ok and that she was glad I was so attentive to our kid. But... I bet she didn't 100% feel that at the time and I still feel bad about it.
