the last little while

We went to Estevan last weekend and Caden got to play with all his cousins. It was a fun time. Here he is with his cousin Keiran having a yummy ice cream treat. And yes - he needs a haircut :)

Besides that we've just been at home working on the basement. It is coming along. Since we put in the carpet we've painted and got the baseboards all ready. It's time consuming but it is coming along. We should be able to finish it all up by next week. Then I can work on the nursery!! Here's the difference so far :



I'm feeling pretty good but gaining weight really fast. It is starting to get uncomfortable and to hurt my back but I feel pretty lucky that things are going as well as they are. One more week and we see the doctor again and we'll get to see if the babies are still doing ok. I can feel all of them moving - quite a lot lately - so that's something.

Every once in a while we get hit with the thought "this is really happening!!". It's weird how I can be so huge and still sort of forget what is about to happen to our lives. We talk about it and we are planning for it and working our butts off for it but do we really 'get it' ? I don't think we do.

My daily scripture today was this verse " ...whatever you ask for in prayer, believe you have received it, and it will be yours." - Mark 11:24. I know we don't always get yes for an answer to prayer but I think our story shows that God is listening and He will bless us beyond what we ask for. I am in awe at the way God has worked in our lives. Now we are just going to keep praying that these boys are all ok!!

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...

And the final answer is....
