Long Weekend

We have had a really nice long weekend. We were able to share it with Justin's mom and dad - they came here for a few days. They even watched the kids so we could go out one night - Thanks for that!!

Everyone is starting to get over being sick. Caden seems fine now. The babies are still coughing but not as much. They are all sleeping a little better. Liam's eyes are kind of gunky still but the others seem fine. Justin's cough doesn't even seem as bad as it sometimes gets. So it would appear that we are all on the mend.

Liam finally started rolling over. I had taken him to the pediatrician for another reason but while I was there, I asked when I needed to worry about him not doing that yet. He said - oh give him another month. Well, the very next day I noticed that I would leave him on his back and when I came back he would be on his front. We didn't even get to see it the first few times. Grandma M was the first to actually see him do it. But now he does it all the time, just like his brothers. Although Dylan does it over and over to get from one place to another. He gets all over the room on his own. I keep being surprised by where he is a few minutes after being somewhere else altogether. They are growing up SO much!

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...
