Due date and tummy time

Today, Nov. 26th, was our original due date. They always use two birthdays for multiples when considering development. They have their age by birthdate and then their age based on due date. That would mean that anything they have done so far is bonus !! They are lifting their heads some now and focusing much better.

We went to the doctor today for a checkup. We once again loaded the babies into the van which takes Justin 2 trips since I still can't lift anything that heavy and headed out. When we got there we were reminded what a novelty we are. Many people, just in the waiting room, asked questions and wanted to see the babies. Then the doctor wanted us to take a picture of him holding the boys. It was cute. He had never had triplets for patients before and wasn't sure he would again so he thought he'd like to have a picture. Funny.

The babies are all looking good. Liam has a tiny bump on the back of his head that I was wondering about but he didn't think it was anything to worry about. Dylan is 6 lbs 15 oz now. Big guy! All he does right now is eat and sleep. Evan is 5 lbs 14 oz and Liam is 5 lbs 9 oz. So they are all growing. I'm excited that Dylan is pretty much 7 lbs. For some reason I'm really looking forward to them all being over 8 lbs. Not sure why that number is the number in my mind but it is.

Here are a couple of pictures of the boys having tummy time. Dylan doesn't really hate it as much as he appears to in this picture.

I know I don't comment much but I wanted to tell you that I look forward to reading your blog every day. I check every single day. I love hearing how you are doing with triplets. So far it seems like you are doing way better than I ever did with twins.
The bosy are so sweet, Seeing how tiny they are brings back looks of good memories of my babies being tiny like that.
8lbs is a good number. YOu don't have to worry so much about waking them up to eat anymore, they can sleep at little longer and they are not quite so fragile.

I have a funny story! I saw your Dr. just after you guys...and somehow I didn't even see you leave! But the Dr. was still so excited about your babies. He asked me if I saw the baby triplets that just left, and I said "no". And he proceeded to fill me in on how cute they are. When I got the chance, I asked him if they were the Mooney triplets, and he said "yes!". He said he still can't imagine how one would take care of 3 newborn babies! I agreed!

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.

Want a Little Freedom?

Stay in your lane. Don't look at other people's papers. Those couple of lines jumped out at me as I read Maria Goff's book " Love Lives Here" It reminded me that we can't all live the same life. Comparisons hold us back and discourage us like nothing else. We have fears of being different when we are SUPPOSED to be different. I grew up trying to fit in and not doing a very good job at it. When I was in my teens I thought I'd try a new approach so I started trying to be the opposite of what I was because I thought that is what everyone else wanted me to be. I am chatty and energetic and I tried to be dainty and quiet. I didn't do a very good job of that either. Yikes. Trying to be someone we're not is exhausting and it doesn't work. We seldom fool anyone or achieve the goal we thought we wanted. What we all really want I think, is to connect with one another and to matter. As an adult I have had goals and held them up against other p...
