My Baby

I have been going through my pictures with the intention of scrapbooking. I did 3 pages last summer and nothing since so I am getting my stuff together to try and get caught up now and not when Caden is 10 or 20 or something. Anyway - what naturally happens whenever you get looking at pictures - you get nostalgic. Can you be nostalgic about only one year ago? Well I am. His infancy is over and it was a good time. I enjoyed it so much. The lack of sleep and pain of surgery were a small price to pay for the gloriousness of having my awesome little boy. Look how little he was.

Today as I write this I keep getting up in the middle of sentences to get him down off of the kitchen chair or to save him from some other precarious situation (he just got stuck between the wall and the living room chair) and I'm still having fun. I know that time flies. I have heard it from every friend I know who has children. The next thing I know he'll be moving away to go to college or getting married. So - I try to hang on to every stage and every moment. So - I look past the whining and the squealing and the fact that I can't even sit for more than a moment before I have to be up and I enjoy all the fun times, all the firsts. I enjoy that he sleeps through the night now. I enjoy watching him and Justin together. I enjoy the hugs and the kisses and the fact that for now his parents are the most important people in his life.

I'm glad to hear you enjoying the older moments too, because I always get teary when I think of Maggie growing up. They grow so fast! She's so lucky to have a cool big cousin like Caden! They'll have so much fun together. She looks a little bit like him... I see similarities in the sleeping photos.

Want a Little Freedom?

Stay in your lane. Don't look at other people's papers. Those couple of lines jumped out at me as I read Maria Goff's book " Love Lives Here" It reminded me that we can't all live the same life. Comparisons hold us back and discourage us like nothing else. We have fears of being different when we are SUPPOSED to be different. I grew up trying to fit in and not doing a very good job at it. When I was in my teens I thought I'd try a new approach so I started trying to be the opposite of what I was because I thought that is what everyone else wanted me to be. I am chatty and energetic and I tried to be dainty and quiet. I didn't do a very good job of that either. Yikes. Trying to be someone we're not is exhausting and it doesn't work. We seldom fool anyone or achieve the goal we thought we wanted. What we all really want I think, is to connect with one another and to matter. As an adult I have had goals and held them up against other p...

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.
