Being Grateful and Another Rainy Day's Activities

Today started out as one of those days when I need to take a few minutes to count my blessings and give myself a few alotted pouting and whining minutes before I can move on into the day. The blessings I am most focused on include the things that are not in my life. I'm grateful that my husband isn't a soldier stationed away from home. I'm glad that he doesn't work crazy shiftwork hours. I feel blessed that his commute is 2 minutes from home to work, 5 if he stops for milk! We are so lucky. He has been working overtime this last week or so and worked most of the weekend. There has been a lot of single parenting in my life lately (another gratitude moment - I'm NOT actually a single mom). And to start a monday morning, another day of monotonous rain ( I mean rain that I am grateful for because it makes everything green - that's what I'm supposed to say right?) with the kids after no break for days on end, felt daunting. But we're up now and the day is moving along and I'm drinking my caramel latte with a generous amount of espresso. We are having a pajama day and will probably pick a few more of the indoor activities on our summer list while we wait for that sun to come out. We've gone through a lot of those indoor activities lately! We chose a couple more of those yesterday since it was still so rainy. Justin didn't go straight to work after church so we went to the science center and then to McDonald's Playplace for lunch.

This is what we were avoiding...

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 !
