By around noon, Jen was only dilated to 3cm, and decided it was epidural time. The epidural relaxed her so much, that 40 minutes later, she had gone from 3cm to 10cm, and it was time to push. This is a good thing, because the baby's heart rate was 168 to 190, when it should have been 120 to 160.

After about an hour and a half of pushing, Stephen Thaddaeus Youd was born.
