My belly is too big to go to church

That's what Caden tells everyone when he and his dad go to church without me "mom at home, belly too big, no church". I miss everyone there and wish I could be there. Not a whole lot to tell of the last few days. We are still waiting and thankfully there are still no signs of the babies coming. I'm happy each morning to have made it to another day. My ribs really hurt though which I suppose is because those poor kids are stuffed in there and have no where else to go. I don't sleep real well between having to go to the bathroom and having a sore back and fidgety legs. I sound like I'm whining but I'm not. Obviously I'm going to be uncomfortable! I can handle that. It's a pretty amazing thing to see all those feet and elbows moving around in there.

We've had lots of visits which is super nice. I even talked Justin into letting me ride around in the car with them yesterday while he ran some errands. Just to see something beyond our street (it has been about 10 days - not counting my dr's appt). So we are plugging along. Still with no idea when these babies will have had enough of their 'sardines' game. I am challenged to see what weight we get them up to. Wouldn't it be something if we could get them to 5 lbs each? Not likely to happen but I can hope! Oh and I had said that they booked my csection for Oct.29th (unless they come before that). Well, there are no spots open for that day. The nurse called and said the next open day is the 31st. She called because she thought I might not want to 'plan' to have their birthday be on halloween. She was right so we are booked for Nov.3rd (which puts me at almost 37wks). Extremely unlikely that I'll get that far. So, we wait and see....

We miss you too, Jen. I can understand you being stir crazy under the circumferences (oops I mean circumstances). I guess circumference is not the best choice of words at this time. I have a bad cold and one day is all I can handle being inside doing nothing. Friday I went out and did some repair work on my basement wall. I guess I could have just sat on the new deck but I felt I needed to be doing something while the weather was good. Take care of the little people in your life and may God's richest blessing be on all of you. Love Elaine

That's encouraging that they scheduled your c-section for later than the orignal date set, rather than sooner. They must have some thought you could go almost all the way!! You go Jen!

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.

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...
