My sick boys

I spent all night at walk-in clinics tonight. Ugh! First I took Caden to one at 430. His eyes are super goopy and the healthline nurse suggested we have it looked at. We got home at 630 with 2 medications. Both of his eyes and ears are infected. Lovely. So we have amoxicillan and then eye drops for his eyes. Poor kid!

That got me all worried about the babies because they all have coughs and runny noses too and I was worried they had ear infections and I didn't know it. So at 7, after calling another clinic to see what the wait time was and being assured that it wouldn't be more than half an hour, we loaded up the whole family and went for an outing to a medi clinic. We were in in under half an hour (that's long enough to be the free entertainment. We don't exactly sneak in unnoticed :) Ahhhh.... life is going to be interesting.) and told that everything is clear. The boys just have colds and no infections. What a relief! I was so hoping that I wouldn't have to make up a chart to keep track of all of their medications. Not to mention that I really don't like using penicillians unless absolutely necessary. I don't think Caden has been on that yet in his 3 years.

Justin has a cough too but it doesn't seem to be bothering him much. I've dodged this sickness so far and I pray that it'll stay that way!

Oh, Jen, that doesn't sound like a fun morning! Glad that the triplets are OK. How is Caden doing on his meds - eye drops are not fun, I've been through that!
Hopefully things are better now that it's been a few days.

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.

36 weeks!!

Well, today is 36 weeks. I still cannot believe it but I'm very happy for what it means as far as the babies' development. Makes me wonder if they'll need to be in the NICU much at all. We've just been so blessed so far!! I'm feeling pretty 'ugh' these days but there are only 5 more sleeps - if I make it. We are hoping I will because tonight is slotted for Jack ' o lantern making with Caden and then I'm wanting Justin to be able to take him out for awhile on halloween. He (Caden not Justin) has a pretty cute Dragon costume and a little pumpkin container to take around with him and we've gotten him all psyched about it. I want him to get to go. What a funny thing to explain to a kid though hey? "You go to people's houses while in costume and get candy (which isn't good for you) from strangers". NICE! Anyway - I have been having more cramping, lower back pain and just 'tightenings' I guess. So it feels as if my ...
