Easter photoshoots are one of the nicest pastimes for babies and little children, so Briana and Jordan Driskell make it a habit for their children, Zoey, Dakota, Hollyn, Asher, and Gavin.

Their custom is made much more unique by the fact that the siblings are quintuplets!

The likelihood of conceiving quintuplets is one in 50 million, making it quite a miracle, thus the first-time parents experienced mixed emotions after finding that they are expecting five children.

The couple’s journey to conceive, however, was not simple; they fought for more than two years.

“It was the worst emotional rollercoaster I’ve ever been on in my life,” Briana tells TODAY. “We’d start the month out trying to be optimistic, like, ‘This is it! It’s going to happen this time,’ then it would come time to test and, once again, it would be negative.”

The Driskells did not see any signs of pregnancy until after their fifth fertility treatment. “We got a baby each time we tried,” Briana jokes.

Briana said she felt the pregnancy symptoms right away.

She said that from day one, she could only eat cold cereal with bananas without throwing up.

Meanwhile, Briana was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, a disorder that causes severe nausea and vomiting in about 2% of pregnant women in the United States.

“I lost 10 pounds and was hospitalized for extreme dehydration,” Briana explained. “It was pretty awful.”

The couple’s biggest surprise occurred after their eight-week scan when they discovered they were carrying quintuplets. Jordan stated that he was on the verge of passing out.

Briana’s doctors said that there was only a 4-8% possibility that she would have triplets or more if she became pregnant after undergoing a series of reproductive procedures involving intrauterine insemination (IUI).

“I was in such shock, I couldn’t speak,” Briana, said. “I just sat there staring at the screen in disbelief. I couldn’t believe there were five sacs.”

Then, just as Briana was starting to feel better at 22 weeks, she learned that her cervix was shortening, which can lead to preterm labor.

Briana was rushed to the hospital and spent the rest of her pregnancy in bed.

The soon-to-be mother stated that she intended to keep the babies until they were 30 weeks old.

Briana’s quintuplets, on the other hand, were delivered at 28 weeks of pregnancy due to concerns about preeclampsia, a potentially fatal sickness characterized by high blood pressure.

Meanwhile, at the University of Kentucky’s Chandler Hospital, the quintuplets were delivered via cesarean section.

Briana was kept away from the babies for another day due to difficulties with preeclampsia.

“When I finally saw them, I was crying so hard I couldn’t breathe,” she said. “I still can’t believe I am finally a mom. It’s unreal.”

Zoey was the smallest at 1 pound and 13 ounces, while Hollyn was the heaviest at 2 pounds and 6 ounces at birth.

Zoey is the most spirited of the infants despite being the smallest.

“Zoey has been throwing her hospital hat around,” Briana told TODAY Parents. “She’s very determined.”

Briana stayed a few days at the hospital before being discharged, and the quintuplets remained at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) until they were strong enough to go home.

The Driskell quintuplets’ 11th month marked their first Easter photoshoot.

“I don’t know what I was thinking,” Briana explained to TODAY.

She stated that they placed each of the infants in a bug bucket with fake eggs surrounding them and that it took them two hours because they were climbing out and wailing.

She was pleased with the Easter photoshoot, though, because “the pictures came out really cute!” she says.

The Driskell quintuplets, who are turning six this year, celebrated Easter with loads of chocolate and egg hunts.

“It’s a different kind of chaos now,” Briana said. “Now, it’s ‘He got the color egg I wanted!’ and ‘I didn’t get this candy, and she did.’”

“They were tackling each other to get to those eggs,” Jordan added. “It was every man for himself.”

Jordan says that the toddlers are “the best of friends,” despite some sibling rivalry.

“They always have someone to play with,” Jordan says. “We just love watching them enjoying life together. It’s pretty special.”
