Well, it all started at 6:00 AM, when the doctor wanted to induce the baby. We sat in the hospital most the day, it was actually quite boring. Then at about 4:ooish the pain started and kept getting stronger for Jen. We did have a jacuzzi, which was nice. Well, back in bed, the labor pains kept getting stronger and Jen delivered the baby so fast that the doctor wasn't even there. So the nurse,
Carrie Peterson, delivered the baby by herself. Jen did it natural, without a epidural, and she doesn't know if she wants to do that again.

Well, The baby is healthy and weighed in at 6 lbs 4 oz. Her name is Rachel Pratt, and we've not finalized with the middle name yet. But we are very happy for the new arrival and thank God that everything went alright.
