Dr's appointment - 32 weeks

I got to go outside today!! YAY! Just feeling the sun on my back as I walked to the car was wonderful! (it's been a week since I've been outside!) I really just wanted to go for a walk. I miss walking. But I was headed to my drs. appointment. Everything still appears to be going well. The ultrasound showed the babies to be about 3.5 lbs, 4 lbs and 4.5 lbs. That's a little slower growth than they've been having but she said that that was totally normal at this stage (for triplets). We could see them breathing and one had hiccups. They are looking pretty smushed in there but she said they still have lots of fluid. I'm measuring 39 weeks - so as big as a full term mom. Bedrest appears to be helping - so I'm back at home and resting. I'm also very very tired from the outing. I feel like I've been jogging or something. Whew....

He booked my c-section for Oct.29th (my 36 wks) in case I make it that far. There is no way I will make it til the end of the month. So, sometime in the next few weeks our babies will be here. That's so exciting!!

Hang in there Jen. Nobody expected me to go 35 weeks with the boys, and I probably could've gone to 36 easy.

Those weights are fantastic for your boys. When K, J & C were born, they were 4lbs6, 3lbs4, and 5lbs6

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.
