(KSL) Lying in a hospital bed, dog tags around her neck and a computer by her side, Katy Gibbs' life was about to change.

Katy has cared for their 3-year-old, and carried this baby alone, for all nine months. She's put on a brave face for all of the cravings, the pains, a few scares, preeclampsia, bed rest and now an induction. All knowing her husband would watch his son's delivery over the Internet.

"I'm just hoping the Internet doesn't cut out," Paul Gibbs said.
