Birth Announcement


Dear Friends,

Glory to God!

Christina gave birth to a healthy baby boy today at 12:50 PM. He is named Petros Nektarios Blankenstein and weighed 4lbs 13oz. He is doing well considering all of the adversity that he has experienced in the last four weeks. He will be in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) for the next 2-3 weeks. Christina delivered through C-Section. The decision was made to not deliver conventionally becuase the baby was not tolerating the contractions. She is doing well, but we are not out of the woods yet. God willing Christina will continue to recover. In the next several weeks she will probably need to have her spleen removed. Please continue to remember Christina and Petros in your prayers.

In Christ, Paul (aka Rob) Blankenstein
