Apparently, getting ready for a scheduled c-section is an all night process. In about an hour or so, I will have to take a "cleansing" bath to help get rid of any bacteria that might be present. Around midnight, they will come in and put not one, but two IV's in (better safe than sorry is their motto.) Then I will need to take another cleansing bath, in case anything was missed the first time. At 5 am they will take me down to the Labor and Delivery area, where they will continue to prep me. (Don't ask me what they are going to do during those 3 hours before delivery, but they insist that it takes that long!)
The delivery itself should be quite the "birthday" party. There will be three people there for each of the babies. For me, there will be Dr. Park, who is the resident that will actually be doing the slicing, Dr. Elliott, and another doctor doing a fellowship with the practice, Dr. Freeman. Then there will be a couple of nurses for me as well as the anesthesiologist. In addition to the medical people, there will be two videographers and a still photographer from the hospital PR. Last, but definitely not least, there will be my husband, Jayson, and hopefully my Mom and my Aunt. There is a separate viewing room (which doesn't really have a view of me, more of the babies once they are delivered and in their incubators) where my kids, dad and other family members can watch some of the excitement.
I can't wait to meet all these little ones and I hope that all will go well with the delivery for both the babies and myself. I can't express how grateful I am for all the prayers and support that we have received throughout the pregnancy!!! Stay tuned for pictures of the Wilkinson Quints!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! and a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the babies. I am so excited for you and the bsbies. I will be praying for all to go extremely well. Bless your heart with the c-section preparation. I will have to have on in December for my baby. I am nervous a bit about that because of what I went through the first time. However, It was well worth all it took to get my little guy here. I love you all. GOD BLESS YOU!

I saw you out for dinner on Thursday night. I almost gasped when you walked by and wondered what blessing was going on inside you! Everyone around me marveled at your ability to be out and about. When I heard the news of the quintuplets being born in Phoenix, I knew it had to be you! And the pictures match! Congratulations on five healthy babies. God bless you and your family in every way in the days to come.
