I have occasionally been doing bible studies out of this book called Women of the Bible. So many of the stories include infertility which I am used to but last night I was struck by one of the questions in the back of one chapter. It asked "have you or anyone you know struggled with infertility" and then "how does that struggle differ from the struggles during bible times" and I felt ashamed. I could only hang my head that I have called what I have been through a struggle. What would it have been like back in those days? Hopeless no doubt. We have had hope and have had our hopes realized. Those in the fertility field have only been able to do what they did for us for 20 years. That leaves thousands of years worth of men and women who simply had to accept their fate. I cannot comprehend that. I am filled with gratitude that I live in this time and that God has used the medical advances of our time to Bless our lives. And now I will look at the two or three months that we have to wait to try again in a completely different light. Why does it still amaze me when God leads me to exactly what I need to hear?
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
