Welcome Katie & Ryan!

So, the blessed day has arrived! At 3:35am and 3:36am respectively, we welcomed Katherine Rayn and Ryan Robert into the world a couple of weeks ahead of time. Tricia is pretty sore and tired, and the babies are going to have to spend a week or two in the neonatal ICU to help them with their breathing, but we praise God that everyone is fine and healthy! We are all very excited (especially Jake!), and thank you all for your prayers over the last (almost) nine months. Here are some photos!

Tricia and the doctors preparing for the caesarean section (ironically, on the day Julius Caesar was murdered). :) History nerd moment...

Katie resting in the neonatal ICU just a few minutes after her birth. She weighed in at a dainty little 4 lbs., 13 oz.

Katie's little brother Ryan resting in the bed next to her, weighing in at an unexpectedly manly 6 lbs., 3 oz.

The handsome baby Ryan (who looks more like Jake's twin than Katie's, we think)

Please continue to pray for us all in our various areas of need, but especially for a quick recovery for Tricia, and a good (and fast) adjustment to life on the outside for our little twins!

Until next time,

The Johnson Five
