The Fabulous Four
After many years of hard times, painful medical procedures, disappointments, and heartaches, the Johnstons' biggest dream had finally come true. They were proud to have not just one child, but an amazing four! On October 24, the quadruplets were born. They were all healthy and beautiful. Charles, also known as Charlie, weighed 6 pounds, Thomas, also known as Tommy, weighed 6 pounds 2 ounces, Grace weighed 5 pounds 7 ounces, and Hadley weighed 5 pounds 4 ounces. That baby weighs 22 pounds and 13 ounces—quite a lot!
Shell Surprised
As you can imagine, the new parents were filled with love and gratitude for the amazing journey they had just been on and for the four precious souls that were now theirs to care for and raise. When she talked to the Daily Mail, Johnston thought about what kind of miracle it was. “We're trying to get at least one baby, and we're so happy that all four of them are healthy and we can take them home,” she said. “We sometimes still can't believe it.”
