Home for a couple of hours

Well, I am out on a pass from the hospital for the afternoon so I thought I would say hello to everyone and say that nothing has changed and everything is still fine. The babies are staying put and hopefully growing more and more. I'm bored but trying to appreciate the time to read and relax. I can't believe that I am having as much trouble with that as I am. By the time Justin shows up at the end of the day I'm freaking out "take me outside for some fresh air!!" Everyone at the hospital has been great and I have no complaints besides just not wanting to be there.

Like I said the babies are fine. I'm not sure how Caden is really doing but he appears to have accepted that I'm at 'the doctors so they can watch the babies in my belly". He's having a ball at our friend Lindsay's in the mornings. He said "I like it at Lindsays" so that's cool. And he does still say "go visit mommy?" enough to make me feel missed :). Justin is doing well but I feel bad for everything he has to take care of. And on top of it all - Bailey ran away and hasn't been seen for about 30 hours now. Justin has gone to the animal shelter to see if he is there. I cannot believe he has found yet another way to escape. I'm really worried about him and hope he isn't suffering in a ditch somewhere or something. Poor guy.

I feel pretty out of touch and it feels like there is a lot going on in the lives of people we care about and I wish I could be more attentive and involved. If anything new happens we will try to let you know.

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...

Am I really having triplets?

What does a person blog about the day before they have triplets? I mean - there are a million things going through my head but I can hardly sort them out, let alone write them down. It's all just very amazing, surreal, scary, exhilarating and on and on and on. I think there is just too much so I'll just ask that you pray for all of us and we'll try to post news as soon as we can. I likely won't be at the computer til the end of the week (if ever again :) ) but Justin will check it and try to update everyone.
