A little disconcerting

So, we had another dr's appointment today. Everything is still looking good. We've made it to 33 weeks. That's 3 wks since the dr. originally had me admitted into the hospital. What a relief to not have had to be there this entire time. I'm now measuring 41 weeks and feel HUGE. I can hardly move anymore, let alone breathe. I'm relieved that the babies are still doing well and staying put.

The disconcerting part - the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit- where preemies go) here is full. Apparently they sent a lady with twins to Toronto today. AAAHHH! I don't want to fly to Toronto (or Vancouver, according to the dr.). So I CAN'T have these babies yet. And I guess we just pray and hope that whenever these babies do decide to come, that there is room in there for them. Now I'm kind of worrying but I keep just telling myself that God is taking care of us. He's gotten us this far. Plus - If we are really lucky, I'll last 3 more weeks and they won't necessarily need the NICU anyway. Wouldn't that be incredible. :)

So - I came home and napped on the couch and haven't done a thing since. He really scared me with that news! So, we are asking for prayers that the babies come when there is room for them in the NICU here!

Hi Jen: I sent out a prayer request to all our church family on your behalf so that there will be room here for your little gaffers. God bless and stay positive. Elaine

No matter what happens, you'll all be okay regardless... just ideally you'll all be okay here.

BUT if worse comes to worse, you will know that you have to do what has to be done. Thinking of you all. Laura

Why not Calgary? At least you have family here!!!

I almost got flown to Vancouver but my doc was insistent that I stayed here to have the boys. I hope space frees up so you don't have to travel anywhere. There's no place like home.

We think of you guys often and pray that everything happens as it should.

I have been a lurker Jen & Justin on your blog and your journey has been amazing...So happy each time I read that everything is OK with your little boys. Praise God for that...and the most important thing is their safe arrival no matter where that might have to be.
We will ask for prayers in our congregation (Saskatoon)on your behalf as time gets closer. May God continue to take care of all of you.

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...
