Final Post Before the Big Day!

One other thing I wanted to do was get one final post in before tomorrow. I am not sure when I am going to be able to post anything tomorrow but I will do it as soon as I can. I wanted to just thank everyone again for all the support and prayers you have given us. This has been something truly remarkable. In the beginning, I would never have guessed that things would be like they are. In the beginning, I was so nervous and unsure of what the rest of my life was going to be like but, for some reason, I feel pretty good about things now. We are surrounded by people that are sincerely concerned for us and really want to help us out. We still have such a long way to go but I really feel like angels are watching over us and a lot of that is due to the prayers from all of you.

If I can get it soon enough, I will hope to get a post in tomorrow. Also, if everything goes well, KVUE should be doing a follow up story tomorrow night on the news. There is also a decent chance that the Austin-American Statesman (the main Austin newspaper) will be doing a story about us for the Wednesday paper so look for it. Whatever they do, we will be sure to put links to it up on our blog and web site soon afterwards.

Again, thank you all for all your support and keep praying for us. I am sure we will keep needing it.

    I have been following the two blogs since about february or march, can't quite remember. Your story amazes me and i am so thrilled that Rachelle is doing so well! Can't believe the day is finally here, it seems like i was just thinking "wow july is so far away!" and yet here you are, i am so excited for you and all your children, i can't imagine having as much strength as you two do!

    Wishing you all the best tomorrow on the big day! I'm definatly looking forward to pictures of the children!

    Rachelle and Jayson, I have been following your blogs now for a few months and this week have found myself anxiously awaiting your big day! Thank you both so much for sharing your inspiring story. I am currently 34 weeks and 3 days pregnant with my first baby - so I feel like I've been moving right along with Rachelle and have used her stamina and positive attitude to boost my own spirits when I'm down or tired. After all - I'm only having one!!
    Anyway - good luck tomorrow. I will be thinking about you both. I truly hope that everything goes well for Mom, Dad and all the babies. You both seem like fantastic parents and although I'm sure the coming months and years will have their share of trials and tribulations I have no doubt that you will thrive as a family!

    All the Best,
    Jen in Comox, BC, Canada

    Rachelle and Jayson,

    I find it funny that I am awake at 2am, and the reason is that I am counting down until the babies are here!

    It has been an incredible journey reading your blogs over the past months. You have been an inspiration to many people. I know I have drawn so much strength from your faith. I have been thinking a lot about you this week. I hope and pray that the delivery goes well.

    Congratulations on your 5 little miracles!!!

    Lots of Love from Colorado!!!
    Jenn

    Dear Jayson and Rachelle
    I have been following your story and blogs since early May, and I'm really excited that the quintuplets are arriving today - in about 4 hours time, I think!
    I wish you the best of luck etc, and am praying for you all that everything goes well.
    Do update as soon as you can and of course I would love to see pictures of the tiny ones!
    I loved that video of Riley and Kaiya - it was really cute.
    With love and prayers
    Katie

    Jayson and Rachelle,
    I have been following your story from afar for the past several months through my NI channels. Such a blessing could not have happened to a better guy or a better family. Those kids will be blessed every day to have a dad like you!!
