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.

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 a...
