We're home and we had a great christmas

Hello there everyone. We are back from our holidays and it was so nice to spend them with family. We all had tonnes of fun. The babies travelled fabulously both ways. They just slept til feeding time and then slept again til feeding time. Perfect! So - what is usually a 7 1/2 hour trip ended up being about 9 hours. Not bad! It was really cold going out and really snowing coming back so I'm kind of glad to be home and not planning to go too far for awhile. I haven't even left the house since we got back sunday night.

Justin is back to working all day and I'm home by myself with the 4 boys. The first day and so far the second day - have gone really well. All 4 are actually sleeping right now. They did that yesterday too but I napped. I should be napping now too! Oh, well. Every nap time is a decision to be made - sleep, do chores or have me- time. I try to do a little of each.

We had such a good time with Justin's family in Calgary. Caden was at the age where he understood what was going on and was absolutely ecstatic about it all. When I was putting him to bed on Christmas eve he heard some banging sounds (likely everyone downstairs) and said "Is that Santa!!!". So cute. And then he loved every one of his presents. He plays loyally with each and every thing. The babies were loved to pieces and grew under that attention. They are looking pretty good. Liam could still stand to eat more and put on a little more weight but he still seems healthy enough. The festivities began with rousing competition between the boys in pinball.

Justin - high score :)

There was a lot of this going on. Our babies were cuddled a little by everyone and a lot by some. It warmed my heart to see them getting to know their far- away aunts, uncles and grandparents.

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

The 2 Week Wait is Over

The waiting is finally over. Today was the day - after 2 long weeks of waiting - that I went for my official pregnancy test at the dr.'s office. I had done a couple of Home Pregnancy Tests so I pretty much knew what to expect. I have been praying constantly, as have many of you out there (thank you so much for that). Well, God heard all of us and we are happy to report that the test came back positive. We are really happy but also very cautious . It was only 5 months ago today that we lost our pregnancy at 5 1/2 weeks. We are going to just continue praying that God will watch over this pregnancy and that a healthy baby will be born. We give Thanks to God !
