6/11 Raising Sextuplets Series Premiere

OMG Sextuplets!
(I will not be writing detailed notes here. This special has aired several times- just the highlights)

They start the special off by telling the story of their lives. They got married six months after meeting. Jenny always wanted to be a mom. Pregnant, miscarriage, pregnant, miscarriage. She considered this infertility after three years. Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I have a personal issue with this, coming from a line of women who have had multiple miscarriages before they’ve had viable pregnancies. Everyone just wants instant gratification.
So she had IUI- Intrauterine Insemination. And found out a couple weeks later they were having multiples. All six. One in a million chance so she says. And Bryan said so eloquently “they took my stuff and it was like a turkey baster and they just squirted it up there.” (Complete with hand gestures)

So they went through the whole nine months worrying. Got through with the babies doing well. She gets bed rest at least by 28 weeks. So she could have up to 12 weeks in bed in a hospital. What a bill. I wonder if they will pay the hospital back with the money from their new show.
At the last minute, she gets a blood clot they have to take care of. Then the babies come at 30 4/7th weeks- the longest anyone has kept them inside before giving birth. They put her on blood thinners which might make her hemorrhage. The babies come. In 6 minutes. The babies are hooked up and taken care of.

She went into cardiac arrest and she doesn’t remember a lot except that she couldn’t breathe.
She leaves and lives in Scottsdale until the babies come home. She has friends and family helping with the kids. The kids were very healthy- no lingering problems. Bryan gets a vasectomy.
They Hollywood called- Deal no deal, ($121K + $100K in scholarships and lots of creams and baby things for free). She says it is easy once 9 months rolls around. She plays with them and walks with them. (Did she have a tummy tuck) Bailey, Grant, Cole, Savannah, Blake, Molli.

Raising Sextuplets Premiere
The ‘tups are 16 months old. Jenny is a Physician’s Assistant and Bryan is finishing his MBA.

They have a better opening than the Gosselins. They live in Lake Havasu-Phoenix, AZ. I
wonder what the child labor laws are like there.

They do a quick recap of the OMG Sextuplets! Show and talk about how the kids began to walk and develop. The kids seem to be very healthy and there has been no diagnosis of anything lingering with them.

These kids are really kind of unfortunate. Except Cole. He has a lot of personality. And Jenny is a little perky. She tries too hard on the narration. But I will say she at least puts on a better face than Kate.

Immediately they start with a photoshoot because Jenny is being interviewed as a mom running a marathon. (And Jenny is a little TOO humble for it to be real.) They talk about their dog Luke
being filthy- should we call the Humane Society?

They argue because Bryan has to go to work and Kate, er Jenny needs to get a barrette for the girls’ hair.

Time for naps and Jenny cleans. Not a helper—but Jenny. Then the kids are up again.

She fixes chicken nuggets and corn. She throws the corn on the table and the nuggets too. No plates. I gotta kind of like that. NO dishes.

They all help giving Luke a bath. Even Jenny said the APS might come visit. She keeps telling the kids that things they are doing are “icky” but she doesn’t get shitty about it.
Tiffany, a niece, lived with them as a helper last year. She came again today and they gave the kids baths. She feels guilty because there isn’t enough of her to go around.

They get quiet time or another nap in the afternoon. Lots of screaming at that time.

Then Tiffany and the kids go to Red Robin with the Masches for Tiffany’s birthday. She puts Bryan on notice that just because he works all day doesn’t mean he gets out of doing diapers.
She works on the weekend and he says he has to do it all weekend. He helps getting them dressed.

Then they go out—in a Grand Canyon University van. Did they rent it? Did they buy it? Is it a perk of the job? But they had a nice dinner out.

Jenny and Bryan seem to be in the whole need to look good for your partner thing. She signed him up for an appointment at a weight loss clinic. He’s told he’s obese.

Meanwhile Jenny is setting up play dates. Wow. Other kids!!! Alone. Grand Canyon University donated the van to them. And they use it. Imagine that. She says “You can’t stay at home all day. They need to get out.” Take that bitch Gosselin.

Bryan is getting meal replacements. He fixed the kids breakfast. Fruity colored Cheerios and waffles. It was fairly sweet. At least one of the girls has pierced ears. On babies? Yuck. Talk about choking hazards.

Play time while dad cleans. And mom coming back and freaking just a little about how little the kids were fed. Bryan says Jenny wants him to get back to his studly body and Jenny said he has a studly body—it will just get more studly. LMAO

Jenny goes off to work. 60 mile drive each way. 10 hours in an ER. Yuck.
