– Most likely, I was feeding a baby
Ok, so life is a little busy now, but I just finished my finance final exam…side note: it was brutal…which means I should have some more time soon to update everybody on the happenings of the fab five. It’s craziness x 5 but also good x 5…

Here are a few pics of daily life in the Jones house. We can’t seem to feed Jack enough formula lately so he decided to take a bite out of Brooklyn’s head!! That’s Ryan with Eliot in her bed – she has been taking one of the babies down to her bed before night time while we read to her. The picture of Eliot by herself is at her school’s Spring Fling where she sang western songs with her class and played lots of games. Nana has been down a few times to pull some overnight shifts for us…thank you!! Only thing missing from these pictures is Baby Bright Eyes Britton…come home soon, baby girl!!
This is going to be quick because I’m tired and I’m a little cranky…really tired, more than a little cranky. Here goes:
– Babies: awesome, totally, completely, incredibly, awesome and perfect in every single way!!
– Britton: started to take her feeds really well, thought she was coming home today, first heart rate drop in 15 days on Saturday has her on lockdown until the end of the week… We miss her terribly because it is next to impossible to get back to the NICU these days. We’ve been there twice in the last week…not cool… :(
– Jack: Big Boy continues to dominate the bottle and spend his hours in chill mode…loves the TV, even when facing away from it, he does back bends to try to see it…just wait ’til college football starts, my boy, just wait!!
– Lila: Competing with Bright Eyes Britton for the brightest eyes and social butterfly title…too incredibly cute!
– Ryan: Total trouble maker! Likes to be held…a lot…also doesn’t like to wait her turn to get the bottle…already living up to the baby of the family role she earned by being born last. Gets cuter by the moment, however!!
– Brooklyn: might be taking over as the ultimate girlie-girl…her cry is so sweet I actually want her to cry so I can hear it again and again…she sleeps, fusses, falls back to sleep, fusses, falls back to sleep…flipping adoreable!
– Volunteers: totally ROCK! All have been incredible – thoughtful, respectful, good with the babies…huge relief, answer to prayers…AMAZING!!!
– Night Time Volunteers: Really hard to come by…Tricia, The Velvet Hammer, is a ROCK STAR!
– Feeding Schedule: Difficult…feeding takes two hours, babies eat every three…do the math…zzzzzzzzzzzz…
– Casey Ann: AMAZING!!! Nuf said…oh, wait…BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
– Grandma Stevie and Nana: Rock solid…thank you, thank you, thank you!!
– Sleep: next to none, contemplating night nurse, but muy, muy expensive…something must be done, however. That bullet is going to hurt when we finally convince ourselves to take the bite…
– School: Timing – bad, Baylor – fantastic, current class (finance) – very interesting, light at the end of this semester’s tunnel – pretty bright…
– Noteworthy About Today’s Blog: no pictures…this time it’s the lack of pictures that speak a thousand words. Casey was born with a camera in her hand…hard to take pictures when your camera hands are full of baby…
– Future: Never better…
God Bless,
