First Day of Soccer

It is finally here - the day has come that the little boys can play soccer.  They were anxiously awaiting this day.  Waiting and asking.  Liam was the most persistent about knowing when soccer would be and felt very put out when Caden played on Monday and he didn't get to!  So, after watching the rain come and go all day and holding our breaths, we saw the sun come out and the field fill up with adorable little kids in their cute little soccer jerseys and lots of smiling parents.  Because this is one of the cutest things ever!  We thought it would be considerate of us to have Justin coach since we make up most of the team.  I have to say i went into this very naively!  Don't I know my kids by now?  So while Justin was busy with the other 5 kids, who listened and followed his instructions, I was trying to talk my boys into listening and participating, going from one to the other to the other.  At one point Liam starting walking home since we were playing in the field right behind our house.  I had been trying to get Evan off the net so the other kids could take their shots and took a quick count to see that one was missing.  Remember that Justin is coaching so he can't help.  Here I thought the kids would be right in there with dad.  Not so much.  Needless to say, by the end, I was exhausted.  At least one of us got some exercise.  I should say that they did do a few of the skill things and Dylan played during the game.  The other two wouldn't play at all.  So - that is game number one and I'm still chuckling a little at the circus our life is.  It's hilarious.  Here are a few pictures.  SO CUTE!

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...
