of all the rotten luck

So today I went to the chiropractor. My back has been bothering me; enough that I am losing sleep so I decided to check it out. On top of that I've had a cold and am feeling kind of yucky and tired. I ended up getting scheduled with a woman dr. which is what I had kind of hoped for - more comfortable for some reason. So she walks in and she comes across right away as really friendly once I get past the cute round little belly sticking out from the center of her. Yup - my chiropractor looks to be about 5 or 6 months pregnant which is what I would have been had our first transfer been successful. So sweet right? ya - it is. My first emotion is unbelief at the irony and the urge to cry. But then I tell myself not to be ridiculous and that it has nothing to do with me. Anyway - it was all good. I mentioned that I had back problems when I was pregnant and that my kid is 25 lbs and I lug him around. So this bonded us and she talked about pregnancy and prenatal classes. So, what I did was put the face of "sad lady who wants to be pregnant and isn't" on the back burner and brought out my other personality - the mom of a cute little boy who can bond with other mothers in the joy of motherhood. They are both real and I guess it's all about focus. All in all it went well. I really liked her and I feel better so it was successful! The cliche for the day is "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger". I dealt with it and that's that.

Well....it is kind of ironic...but there are an aweful lot of pregnant people out there these days. I realize that it may be a bit of a slap in the face for you...and it can't be easy to be reminded how hard it is for you.
I am glad to hear that you are enjoying time with company and friends/family, and that the weather is nice. You always do better when you can have a little sunshine....enjoy it while it lasts.
It is also nice that you can enjoy the little blessing you already have in Caden until you are blessed enough to extend the family a little further.
Glad to hear you are having some special alone time, taking part in yoga classes etc....good for you!
Hope the back feels better, and I am still thinking of you two lots!
Keep on keepin' it real on the blog. I truly enjoy reading your thoughts, and getting a better understanding of where your at!
Love ya!

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...

Just the 6 of us now

I haven't blogged for a few days. It's been busy around here! But lots of fun. I'm feeling very tired tonight and will likely go to bed soon! We had a fun weekend with Justin's mom and Adam and Trinda and their kids. Trinda took some pictures for us again. Keep watching and I'll post some when I get them - it'll be a couple of weeks likely. Caden had SO much fun with his cousins, as he always does. They just go downstairs and we don't hear from them for a long time. Just some laughing and an occasional scrap. The triplets are eating ALOT and we're seeing them continue to fill out and get heavier. Things are going well. Justin's mom went home tonight so it's just the 6 of us this week. Justin is taking some holidays now. It'll be a nice time together. I'm looking forward to it but I know it'll be tougher now that our overnight help is gone. A baby is crying and Caden needs to be put to bed soon so I have to go.... Here ...

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...
