Ok, pictures are coming soon, but we're contending with a dead battery...we wore that thing out today! The babies are all doing "better than average for their age and weight" according to the NICU doctor who checked them all out!
What an experience from start to finish! Casey is doing very well, resting, and anxious to see her babies - she only got to see a flash of them in the operating room before they were whisked away for further care. Unfortunately for mama, she did all the work and missed out on all of the fun... :(
Here are the weights:
Baby A - 2 pounds, 13 ounces, 16-1/4 inches
Baby B - 2 pounds, 2 ounces, 14 inches
Baby C - Jack William - 2 pounds, 11 ounces, 14-3/4 inches - that's right, as with the entire pregnancy, Jack was right in the middle in the birth order!
Baby D - 2 pounds, 3 ounces, 15 inches
Baby E - 2 pounds, 10 ounces, 15-1/4 inches
We won't know which baby gets which name until after Casey is able to go up to the NICU with me to figure it all out. Whew!! What a day! More to come later...
God Bless,
Ethan

- Psalm 127:3-5 “Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!” Our life used to be pretty normal. We met in 7th grade, started dating in high school, survived the college years and got married in June of ’99, shortly after graduation. We had a daughter, travelled as much as we could, planned on getting a dog, went to football games on Saturday and church on Sunday, and by the time we hit our thirties, we were well on our way to having the typical American life. Then came Mother’s Day 2008 and though we weren’t aware of it at the time, everything in our lives was about to change. Psalm 127:3-5 started the day off and by the time it had ended, we had decided to try for another baby. One more would have been great; twins would fulfill a dream of ours…but ready or not, here come the Jones QUINTUPLETS!!

Congratulations!!! I am so happy to hear they are all doing so well! I hope Casey is able to go see them soon---it is such a bummer that the one who does all the work is the last one to really see them!! We will keep praying for you. Tell Casey she is amazing!
Congratulations! I'm glad the babies are doing better than average. Good luck with all the adventures before you!
Praise God! This will be a welcome night of rest for you both! Know you're being held up by so very many prayers for your health, rest and renewal, as well as the for the speedy development and well-being of all five babies!
Congrats on the babies! I saw them on the news and they are ADORABLE! Glad to hear everyone is doing so well! We will continue praying for your entire family.
Thank you God, all the babies are here and alive! I've been following you, linked from another quad/quint blog. I've prayed for you and celebrated when the news was good! Happy, Happy Day! We'll continue to pray that the babies thrive during their nicu stage and mom has peace as she regains her health. It's always slower than we want! Much love from rainy Seattle!
