Life

I've been feeling like I should be sharing a little about what is going on in our lives right now. We've had some company and done some visiting. We are keeping busy with teaching Sunday school and doing some church bookkeeping. Justin's work has slowed down but he is still somewhat busy with stuff there. Caden is enjoying library class on Monday mornings. He is still really into trains, construction stuff and footballs, basketballs, tennis balls, soccer balls, pucks and on and on. He likes to color and paint some and is more and more into books all the time. We have some struggles with getting him to eat and sometimes with getting him to nap in the afternoon. We just keep plugging along. Things are good.


AND ...


we are going to do IVF again. I did mention it once before and there really isn't much to say. We go to Calgary on March 7th or so and will be back the next week sometime. The pregnancy test will be around the 21st of March.

I'm having trouble knowing what to write. I keep deleting stuff. I just have so many thoughts and feelings when we go through this. The main thing is that I want to trust God, in this and in everything in my life. These experiences have made me so aware of how much I struggle to give Him the control and that it would appear that I think I have a better idea of how my life should go than He does. Isn't that crazy? But when I make plans and think they should all come to pass - it's pretty much me saying - I'm smarter. How ridiculous! I will really try to let go and I will keep reminding myself that things will work out the way that they should. I am definitely still hoping that God will give us another little newborn baby to hold in our arms. But if that doesn't happen - it needs to be ok. And it will.

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 !
