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...

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.

36 weeks!!

Well, today is 36 weeks. I still cannot believe it but I'm very happy for what it means as far as the babies' development. Makes me wonder if they'll need to be in the NICU much at all. We've just been so blessed so far!! I'm feeling pretty 'ugh' these days but there are only 5 more sleeps - if I make it. We are hoping I will because tonight is slotted for Jack ' o lantern making with Caden and then I'm wanting Justin to be able to take him out for awhile on halloween. He (Caden not Justin) has a pretty cute Dragon costume and a little pumpkin container to take around with him and we've gotten him all psyched about it. I want him to get to go. What a funny thing to explain to a kid though hey? "You go to people's houses while in costume and get candy (which isn't good for you) from strangers". NICE! Anyway - I have been having more cramping, lower back pain and just 'tightenings' I guess. So it feels as if my ...
