Sunday

We are still doing well! My parents are doing so much that I am able to rest. We are well fed, there are groceries in the cupboards, the house is clean, the dishes are done, the laundry is done, the babies are fed, changed and taken care of. It's fantastic. I'm feeling quite good, moving around a lot more and not really having any pain. I'm trying to eat lots (of healthy stuff!! Anyone want to come and eat all of our halloween candy?) so that I can get some energy back. I'm super tired of course but even that isn't too bad at the moment. The babies sleep all the time so this stage isn't too crazy yet :).

We have gone through many many diapers already - I haven't been counting but it's been a lot! And lots of sleepers too! The boys swim in their preemie stuff even. It'll be nice to see them fill those out.

The public health nurse had been here last friday and then came back today just to check the babies weights and in those two days Dylan had stayed about the same and the other two gained a little bit. I was really hoping not to see more weight loss as they had been losing every day including last friday. So - that's good. She suggested we feed them a bit more and we are still working out the whole feeding schedule and process. Dylan and Liam eat really well. Evan is having more trouble for some reason and sometimes just doesn't eat very much. He also seems more lethargic but we are starting to think he may just be more laid back than the other two.

For those who like details here are the babies weights now:
Dylan's birth weight was 6 lbs and right now he is at 5 lbs 10 oz.
Evan's birth weight was 5 lbs 4 oz and now he is at 4 lbs 13 oz.
Liam's birth weight was 4 lbs 14 oz and now he is at 4 lbs 10 oz.

So, that's today. Have I mentioned how happy we are :)

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...
