Pray for baby Tangen

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
   before you were born I set you apart"

--Jeremiah 1:5

My cousin Anna and her family recently moved to Phoenix, AZ. She was 29 weeks pregnant when she delivered her baby boy this morning. Please pray for their family as they adjust to such a tiny new life in their presence. They are still working on naming him... obviously he came much sooner than anticipated, so they have a list of favorites, but haven't narrowed it down yet :)

Baby Boy was born at 3:04am today, weighing a mere 2 pounds 10 ounces, and measuring 13 inches long. After her water breaking on Monday, and stopping contractions with medication, they stabilized Anna, but when they lessened or took her off of some Magnesium, her labor started back up. She pushed him out with one tiny little push. What a babe! He has oxygen, but is already doing a great job breathing on his own--doesn't need too much help:) He'll be in the NICU for several weeks.

Thank you for praying with us all as Anna recovers and baby gains strength so they both can come home!

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, 

coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, 

who does not change like shifting shadows. 

He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, 

that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created." 

--James 1:17-18
