Nov. 7: U.S. Marine Sgt. Chad Mortenson, shown on the video screen from Al-Asad Air Base in Iraq, witnessed birth of his daughter in Oklahoma City.
"It was wonderful. The whole time he was talking to me," said Denae Mortenson, 20. "He could see me and I could hear him. It was like he was there, but he was just on a screen."
Jayden Faith Mortenson weighed 6 pounds, 13 ounces and was delivered via cesarean section at 8:11 a.m.
"She's doing great — 100 percent healthy," Denae Mortenson said.
