Non News

What is non news you ask? Well, we had hoped to have actual news but unfortunately we don't. We were in the process of trying to have another baby. That process for us isn't nearly as enjoyable as for most people. I have to wait for two months, take drugs for two months, travel to another city and have a stranger in places you don't want strangers and then wait two weeks (while still on lots of drugs) to find out if you got something out of all of that. This time around we didn't tell one single person. We thought it would be nice to get to announce that we are expecting like everybody else gets to. That is not in the cards for us. Anyway, that is why it is non news. It didn't work this time. That's what my last post was referring to. Not a good week. But I'm doing alright. We are lucky enough to be able to try again and likely within a few months. This time we want to ask those of you out there who feel compelled to please pray for us. God has blessed us and there is a part of me that knows things happen for a reason and that He is in charge. It'll all work out. I'm working on the other part of me that wants things my way and thinks we've struggled enough in this particular area of life. I guess it just makes us stronger (isn't that what they say) and that my life could be alot harder. And how can I complain about anything when I have Caden to hold in my arms?

Dear Jen and Justin - most definitely you are in our prayers! Jen your faith and your love for God will get you through this ~ just remember, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him..."
It just isn't time yet ~ you are awesome parents and I know you will be blessed with more children. In the meantime, keep enjoying that little guy!
Count on us to pray for more children and for strength, peace and comfort while you wait. Give your concerns to God, trust Him, Jen and feel the peace.
Love you all

I've been thinking about you guys lately and was wondering if you had tried again or were planning on it. Then Tim mentioned that you had tried so I decided I better go to your blog and check it out. Sorry to hear that it didn't work this time. I'm sure it is a hard process to go through each time. I'll be praying for you guys.

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Am I really having triplets?

What does a person blog about the day before they have triplets? I mean - there are a million things going through my head but I can hardly sort them out, let alone write them down. It's all just very amazing, surreal, scary, exhilarating and on and on and on. I think there is just too much so I'll just ask that you pray for all of us and we'll try to post news as soon as we can. I likely won't be at the computer til the end of the week (if ever again :) ) but Justin will check it and try to update everyone.

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...
