For the first time in a year....

...we have both slept for over 7 hours for two nights in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently, separating the boys has been the answer all along - why did I wait so long to try it!!?!

It doesn't matter now. What does matter is that they slept 10 and 11 hours the past two nights, without a single sound in the night. A beautiful, beautiful thing!!

A few other things...

Liam is getting another tooth, on the top. Caden is loving having Elijah and Michael McMillan in town. They play together really well and have a lot in common. It's fun! He's also doing well in gymnastics again this year. He went up one step and so it is a little longer of a class and the kids are generally better behaved so they get to participate a little more in the actual activities. I am in the middle of switching the kids carseats. I can't lift Dylan and Evan in theirs anymore so we're putting the big chairs in for them now. Liam is still a little small to switch but it won't be long. They'll only be on formula for about another month which is exciting for our budget! I had to dig in the clothes box again as Dylan and Evan are moving up in size a little (just to the bigger sz 12 months that they have). Time is flying by but I'm actually really looking forward to this little boy stage. They'll be all over the place and it'll be super busy but I can't wait to see what kind of kids they are going to be. They are just so different. I do have some pictures to post. I might get to that later today.

I have promised myself to organize KJ&C's clothes over the next week or so and put a bunch of stuff together for your boys.

Glad you're getting rest.

10:00 am

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...
