Happy

So I couldn't sleep again last night. The babies are SO active from 930ish until midnightish and I can't breathe and Caden fell out of bed and then I got restless legs - they just jitter and drive me nuts. I don't know a lot of people who have gotten that while pregnant but I had it with Caden too. Then Caden was up at 630. I'm exhausted and I'm starting to remember how horrible I feel when I don't get enough sleep. It is making me feel a little concerned considering I won't be getting any sleep for, oh, probably, a few years. Plus it makes me feel kind of nauseous and dizzy during the day which means I get nothing done and Caden doesn't get to go to the park or do anything else! Poor kid.

The thing I keep thinking about though is how amazing this all is. Sure, physically it's getting kind of tough on me but what did I expect? Hello, three babies inside a 5'0" woman? Not ideal :)

I keep writing stuff about how grateful I am to be having my big family after all these years and how much my family and friends mean to me but it keeps coming out so cheesy and cliche and I erase it. But I want people to know that I am really happy. I'm uncomfortable and stressed out and worried but I'm happy. I'm not unaware of what an incredible life we have and how full of wonderful people. It fills me up.

The sun is shining, my world is full of lots of love and God is taking care of us. (Plus I get to go for a massage today - ahhhh!).

I had restless leg syndrome with Maggie and boy, I can empathize! It's brutal! I used to have James pull on my legs, thinking that would stretch them out or something! I didn't find much to ease the discomfort other than laying on the couch on my back with my feet up on the armrest. Then I'd fall asleep and wake up in a panic because I was told you shouldn't sleep on your back while pregnant! The good news, you'll forget all about RLS once they come along... but in a couple of years you'll have Restless Body Syndrome trying to keep up with the troop!
Glad to hear you're doing so well otherwise. We love reading the updates and seeing the pictures!

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 !
