At 8:53pm and 8:56pm yesterday, Oct 11th 2008, Katherine (Kate) Klein Lovekamp and John William (Will) Lovekamp were welcomed into the world.MH had an ultrasound yesterday afternoon that showed little growth of both Will and Kate since their last measurement about 2 weeks before. So that, along with MH's declining health, made the decision easy for the doctors and they performed a C-section last night at about 8:30.
All three of them were doing great last night and are only getting better this morning. Kate was born first, weighing in at a whopping 1lb 7oz, followed by Will, who tipped the scales at 1lb 12oz. Both of them are on respirators but breathing room air without any supplemental oxygen and are taking a lot of breaths on their own without the assistance of the ventilators.
Needless to say we are releived at their good health but there is a long road ahead for both of them. We are also forever grateful to all of you for your continued thoughts and prayers for our now larger family.
Love -
Josh, MH, Ben, Will, & Kate

I hadn't looked on your blog since last week, and thought I'd check in this morning! What a wonderful surprise! Will and Kate are gorgeous, and that is such great news that they are taking breaths on their own. Every day they will grow bigger and stronger. Take care and let us know if we can do anything for you! Love, The Zellers
