Waiting

Well, today is day number 4 in our 2 week wait (it is also close to what would have been my due date if this had worked in february). It's been pretty good so far. We've had our friends, the Pippus' here for the weekend which has been fun and has helped us focus on something other than what was going on in my body. I've been worrying some because I'm never sure what I am feeling. Anyone who has gone through this knows that you evaluate every twinge, cramp, nauseosness, every lack of feeling, EVERYTHING. It's very taxing. Very tiring. You keep counting the days to your preg. test. and are amazed at how few days have actually gone by :).
I feel ok mostly though. I know there are worse things that could happen to a person. When you are immersed in it - it feels like the end of the world but what I have said a few times already is - that we are not waiting for good or bad news. Just good news or not good news. You know? Some people are waiting to hear back on blood tests to tell them of some scary diagnoses. Our life is really good. REALLY REALLY good. Yes I want more children and yes I want to get this stage of going for IVF and having 2 week waits and being on all the hormones to be over. I want to start thinking about other things. And I want to know stupid things like what size car we need or how many bedrooms we want in our next house. Things like that. I like to plan. I like to know what is happening next. this experience is trying to teach me patience and peace no matter what. I am a slow learner!! But I am working on it.
So whatever happens we'll be ok. We'll try again if we need to. Don't get me wrong. There will be some tears either way! And the countdown continues.....

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

The 2 Week Wait is Over

The waiting is finally over. Today was the day - after 2 long weeks of waiting - that I went for my official pregnancy test at the dr.'s office. I had done a couple of Home Pregnancy Tests so I pretty much knew what to expect. I have been praying constantly, as have many of you out there (thank you so much for that). Well, God heard all of us and we are happy to report that the test came back positive. We are really happy but also very cautious . It was only 5 months ago today that we lost our pregnancy at 5 1/2 weeks. We are going to just continue praying that God will watch over this pregnancy and that a healthy baby will be born. We give Thanks to God !
