First Days

Caden started grade one last week.  He was more than ready.  It took me a couple of days to adjust to having him gone all day.  I missed him.  He's wonderfully conversational so I hear about his day when he comes home and we just spend some time together and chat.  It's so nice.  He's grown up so much.  What a great kid.




Today was the first day of Pre-K for the little boys.  They were also very excited.  We went to the classroom last week for an open house so they knew where they were going and how much fun it is there.  I kept pushing down that lump in my throat and got through it with no tears shed.  I can't believe they are this big already.  And yet, it seemed to take a long time to get here :)

Backpacks ready for school.  They each chose the backpack they 
wanted and we ended up with 4 identical backpacks.

Dylan, Evan and Liam - ready to go!







All three boys heading into the school building.

All three boys immediately found their favorite thing and 
settle right in - in totally different areas of the room :)



I love love love that they are growing and learning and having new experiences and making new friends.  I'm glad that they will have some time with another adult other than mom.  They need a change!  I'm full of emotion because they are growing up and we are entering a new phase.  It's just so Nice!  Some of you may be wondering what I did with my free time.  Well, I went straight to Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte.  Savored that for awhile.  Sat and thought about each of my boys and how blessed we are.  I said a little prayer for their day and went on my way.  I had a list of errands to run and I got every one of them done in one morning.  It was quite marvelous.  I feel the stretching that occurs with change but it's already starting to feel right for all of us!!

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...
