Fun day for Caden for a change

This has not been the most interesting week for Caden. We haven't done much or gone anywhere all week. The babies have been super demanding and so poor Caden has been on his own a lot. He is doing ok with it but he seems to be starting to get grouchy. Sort of cabin - fever and please pay attention to me stuff. Anyway - yesterday was a lot better. Our friends from down the street came and played all afternoon and then when Justin got home from work the two of them went to the Science Centre and saw the lego display and spent some time at the hockey stuff. I guess he really liked air hockey :) I'm feeling a little better for him now at least. It had REALLY been bothering me that he was getting kind of neglected. And I was sad that we couldn't all go out together but those days will come. We won't always have to do things separately!!

I hear you. I hate at the end of a weekend when Maggie tells us she hated the weekend and it was boring. She has tap dance, gymnastics and church but still....what she means is "We don't all go out and do anything fun since the babies were born." I hate it.

You are such a good mom seeing Caden's needs and making sure they are met. Caden is so lucky!

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...
