WilkisonQuints Show episode 3

Well, thanks to our many volunteers and to my Father-in-law who was in town this week, Riley, Kaiya, and I were able to make episode 3. Without all the help from so many people, this whole thing (the having 5 babies thing) would be nearly impossible. I know that it wouldn't be totally impossible because there are people that actually do it without help. Without help, though, I think we would simply go nuts. We have even become accustomed to the many different people coming to our house. A side benefit to this whole thing is the opportunity to get to know so many interesting people in our area. We were pretty low profile before and didn't really know that many people but now... Anyway, I am constantly so grateful for the people that come over during the night especially. Without that, I don't know what we would do. Actually, I do know what we would do. We would get no sleep and would live in utter chaos.

Anyway, in today's episode we measured the van to see if it would fit in the garage but our results were inconclusive. We found that the van was approximately 10 measurement units high and the garage was approximately 10 measurement units high. See the video to find out what our "measurement units" are. Anyway, I guess we will have try it again another time. I think we should try using the preemie version of our measurement units because they would give us a little higher resolution.

Here it is:

    Good episode!

    I've been thinking about the name, the show doesn't just showcase the quints alone, its about the family as a whole, so maybe the Wilkinson Family Show?

    Still trying to think of other suggustions though! hehe

    the babies look great!

    You guys are doing a great job at keeping all of us informed despite the fact that you are probably sleep deprived and busier than any of us can imagine. Your adoring and not so adoring public need to cut you some slack.

    Kaiya and Riley you two crack me up.. I can see that the Blessed Beast is a gift beyond measure.

    Those sweet babies are growing and so beautiful.

    5 babies, 5 baths now that's a wash!

    My kids were loving watching Kaia and Rylee, they are just about the same age! Though I don't know that I could get my boys to let me tape them like that! They would bust out break dancing and forget about me!

    Wow! Could your kids get any cuter?!?! Personally, I think you should do a brady bunch story opener about how you had two kids and then five more. That way, you can showcase your other children.

    Keep posting these!! I love to watch.

    I love the show and that fact that you are including and doing fun things with Kaiya and Riley... I would like to see updated pictures on the wilkisonquints.org website though since your last picture update was ultrasounds it would be nice to see an individual picture of each of the quints...

    Jayson and Rachelle,
    Had to check out the blog after you talked about it tonite. How about "The Magnificent Seven"? for a name for your "show"....Just a thought. Love holding those babies!!

    Wow, that's a sweet idea. I have one baby and think it's a lot of work, I cannot imagine having 5! Looks like you guys have it under control though!

    Hey Jayson! I have a request for some features in a future segment... can you show the vi that you developed to monitor the quints' feeding schedule? Even for folks who don't know LabVIEW, it is really cool to see =)
