Lino Lakes couple shares rollercoaster birth journey Elliott went into the bathroom to try to help Faith change and as soon as she tried to step into the pants the unthinkable happened. “I go to put my leg in the pants, and I go ‘nope, can’t do it.’ I go to lay down and before I even hit the floor (Everett) was there.”

The call Their family called 911 and while they were waiting for the police and paramedics to arrive, Elliott placed Everett on his mom’s stomach. “We were just laying there, and he was crying … I thought as long as he is crying, he is okay,” Faith recalled.

Just as fast as you can blink is about how fast Everett Engen made his entrance into the world at 3 lbs 10 oz. Everett, son of Faith and Elliott Engen, was born 12 weeks before his due date. The Lino Lakes couple had just returned from a road trip to South Dakota to visit family over Easter weekend when Faith started having backpain when she was 28 weeks pregnant. “I thought it was kind of weird, but I thought I would lay down and see if it goes away …” she recalled. Her backpain wasn’t improving and she started to have some
cramping. At her regularly schedule checkup the next day she told the doctors what she was experiencing, and they sent her home with a new medication to try. “It was just getting worse,” she said. She called her doctor, and they prescribed a different medication. At that point, her mother and mother-in-law came over. Meanwhile, Elliot, who is a member of the House of Representatives (District 36A), was on the house floor. “Eventually we were like okay, this is not right, something is wrong,” Faith explained. “Elliott came rushing home and they were all like it is time to go in … I was in so much pain I didn’t know if I could move.”
