Dad Delivers Baby During Flood Using Google

This is so great. I often wonder, "What would I do without the internet?" Well, in Jordan's case below, it truly was pretty essential!

A Hendrum, Minn. man used nothing but instructions from the Internet to deliver his new baby girl.

With the Red River growing higher and higher on Sunday and her basement flooding, Natalie Peck went into labor.

A midwife was not able to get to the home on time so the task was left up to dad. He turned to the Internet for instructions and delivered a health baby girl named Margaret.

"I think its something guys can relate to if all else fails follow the instructions and this was one of those times I was going to follow the directions to a T," laughed new father Jordan Peck.

The family's not sure when or if they can return to their home. For now, the new family are staying with friends. (from KSTP TV)

Two things I like about this story:
  • Having a baby is amazing. Having it during a flood at home delivered by yourself is all caps AWESOME.
  • Bonus points for using Google to find out how to deliver your child.
