Catching up with the Jones quintuplets

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Having a new baby at home can be a lot of work, but try having five babies.

KXAN Austin Newshas followed the Jones quintuplets throughout the last several months as Casey and Ethan Jones prepared to have the babies, their time in the neonatal unit and now being home.

"Life is crazy," said Casey, mother of quintuplets. "Everyday we wake up, we never know what our day is going to be like."

To see just how crazy life can be, read the family's blog, JonesLife, right here.

Now at six-and-a-half months, the four girls and one boy have gained a lot of weight.

"We probably do about 40 bottles a day, about 50 diapers a day," said Casey. "It's just nonstop. Usually, one or two babies need something. Sometimes all five need something." 

Their year-long supply of diapers provided by H-E-B are still going strong.

"Thank God for H-E-B," said Ethan.

However, with five babies and a young daughter, sleep is a luxury.

"Really, there's never a break," said Casey. "Maybe sometimes they will all sleep, but maybe that lasts during the day five minutes."

Thankfully, they have volunteers that help out on a daily basis.

"There's no way we could do it completely on our own, so our volunteers have been great," said Casey.

And while date nights for Ethan and Casey are a thing of the past for now, they're happy to have healthy kids.

"All of the babies are so healthy and happy babies and just full of smiles and wiggles," said Casey.

Volunteers are always needed to help out with raising five babies.  Click here for more information.
