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.....

Wow! Everytime I stop by I take a minute or two to thank God for each of you and pray for what you are experiencing. May God strengthen you in every way. Love, Ellen

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.

A little disconcerting

So, we had another dr's appointment today. Everything is still looking good. We've made it to 33 weeks. That's 3 wks since the dr. originally had me admitted into the hospital. What a relief to not have had to be there this entire time. I'm now measuring 41 weeks and feel HUGE. I can hardly move anymore, let alone breathe. I'm relieved that the babies are still doing well and staying put. The disconcerting part - the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit- where preemies go) here is full. Apparently they sent a lady with twins to Toronto today. AAAHHH! I don't want to fly to Toronto (or Vancouver, according to the dr.). So I CAN'T have these babies yet. And I guess we just pray and hope that whenever these babies do decide to come, that there is room in there for them. Now I'm kind of worrying but I keep just telling myself that God is taking care of us. He's gotten us this far. Plus - If we are really lucky, I'll last 3 more weeks a...
