My thoughts today

Times are a-changin'. Last night we test drove our first minivan. That was weird. Today I took a bunch of pictures of our condo before I start taking pictures down and dismantling everything. The main floor is already filled with boxes. We are going to miss this place. But last night we drove by our new house and I'm really excited about that too. It'll be so great to just get into it and get sort of settled.

I keep going back and forth emotionally. Obviously I am so in love with our babies and can't wait to meet them but today Caden and I were laying on the couch together watching cartoons and I wondered how often we will get that kind of time together once everything changes. I try not to worry about him but I can't help but wonder how all of these changes are going to effect him.

And when we looked at that van last night I tried to act out how I will get the infant seats into the back over top of the bases that will be in the front buckets and am seriously wondering if I will actually, physically, be able to do it. I had a bit of a panic attack "I can't do this!!!". It is definitely a little scary at the moment. But people have done it and I will too! It's just so hard to picture.

In some ways I'm just anxious to have the babies get here so we can just get at it. But at the same time I can't imagine ever feeling ready or prepared. This is definitely an adventure. So - ya - those are my thoughts this morning :)

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...

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...
