Our Sleep Saga Continues..

It is 7:15 am and Liam just woke up! Yup - he just slept from 945 to 645. That is 9 hours!! WOO HOO. The other two weren't bad. No sound at all until 4:45 (Evan) and then 5:15 (Dylan). I am so happy! I would have been able to sleep from 10 - 445 (7 hours) if I hadn't gotten up at 215 to make sure they were all still alive :). There's hope!!

Thanks again to Kim - a fellow mom of multiples (twin boys) who suggested an online parenting course that gave us the tips that has gotten us to this point with our boys. What a lifesaver!

The other neat thing about this course is that it puts you on a schedule which then has you knowing when they will eat and basically when their naptime will be. So, now I know what to expect and can plan my day much better. They sleep from 10/1030 - 12 and then 130ish - 3. And then again a bit after supper. So - I can plan my workouts, my time with Caden, housework, etc. It's really great.

Have a great day!

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.
