“Briana and Jordan, both 26, endured nearly two years of infertility struggles, a harrowing emotional rollercoaster. Each month was filled with anticipation, hoping it would bring the long-awaited joy they yearned for. Multiple tests ended in disappointment, crushing their hopes time and again. It wasn’t until their sixth fertility treatment that the Driskells finally saw two pink lines—a moment of immense relief. Overjoyed, Briana exclaimed, ‘We got a baby for each time we tried!’
Their excitement reached new heights when an eight-week ultrasound revealed quintuplets. The sight of five sacs on the screen left them stunned. Briana sat there in sheer amazement, while her husband nearly lost his balance, and both mothers stood in awe. The news was so overwhelming that Briana’s mother couldn’t contain her emotions and vomited twice outdoors. In that poignant moment, all anyone could say was, ‘Five? Five?’—the enormity of the blessing had truly sunk in.”
Since all five infants were unlikely to survive the pregnancy, doctors advised selective reduction. Briana and Jordan flatly refused. “We believe God brought these children to us,” Briana said. Thus, leaving them is pointless. We trust God’s choice.” Ovarian problems and severe morning sickness wreaked havoc on Briana throughout pregnancy. “I lost 10 pounds and was hospitalized for extreme dehydration,” she said. It sucked.” At 22 weeks, her cervix was sҺrinking, which might cause premature labor. Briana was hospitalized and placed on bedrest. She overcame obstacles to keep the kids within her till 30 weeks.
Briana’s quintuplets were born at 28 weeks due to preeclampsia, a hazardous high ƅlооԀ pressure condition. The University of Kentucky’s Chandler Hospital delivered Zoe Hart, Dakota Faith, Hollyn Grace, Asher Blaze, and Gavin Lane through cesarean section. 
Zoe, the smallest, was 1 pound, 13 ounces, while Hollyn, the biggest, was 2 pounds, 6 ounces. Zoe is the feistiest baby. Five kids are home with their family almost two months after birth. Life with five kids is hard, but Briana loves it. Jordan, her husband, returned to his agricultural job after a week. Luckily, her mother and nanny aid. “It’s ιnꜱanе,” Briana stated. The home is never boring. Since you feed the first infant after feeding the last, we feed every 30 minutes. It repeats. It resembles a factory. They use several bottles daily.”
We’re thankful for our kid, and my mom assists at 6 am every day. Due of their poor immune systems, we seldom take them out. We normally take them on two- or three-person outings. 
After they were born, we needed a van since our vehicle couldn’t accommodate them. Even that’s tight! Taking them out is a big job, and we receive a lot of attention. It’s fun to see them develop their own characteristics. We must follow a strict timetable and adjust as they develop. We’ll need a larger home. This year seems like a haze. Four outfits a day equals three loads of laundry. 60 diapers per day. A ꜱҺоϲk and steep learning curve.
The couple’s five children will make this Christmas memorable. “Over the years, I’ve received Christmas cards from friends and family who had kids,” Briana said. I’m a parent now, and I’m excited to send Christmas cards with my kids on them. We’re content, thank God.
