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

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 !
