Craziness

Wow - life got hectic there all of a sudden. We went to Estevan for the long weekend (had lots of fun) and then I went to Ladies Retreat in Kenosee with Evan and Liam (again - lots of fun!!). Caden was sick the thursday (fever and cough) before I left and both he and Justin were not feeling well all weekend. By Sunday Dylan had a fever and on Monday Liam got one. Today (Tuesday) everyone is crashed around the living room. Evan and I have escaped this so far. We even sent Justin's mom home with chills and a rough throat on sunday night. It's not fun but it could be a lot worse. I could be sick for example!! Or the babies could be old enough to whine like Caden does :). So - we are ok - just working through this cold. We'll stay home for a bit - Caden is not going to gymnastics tonight. We're just laying low and hoping for a better sleep tonight. The triplets slept through the night - til 715 - no problem but Justin and Caden coughed all night. That kept the 3 of us up unfortunately. I'm sure it'll only start getting better now though and then hopefully things will get back to normal and I can keep at this a little better again!

Hey Jen, I am a big fan of this and tell everyone...rub Vicks on the bottom of your feet and then wear socks to bed, it will stop a cough. I am not sure I would use it on your babies, but for sure use it on Caden and Justin. At least then everyone can get a good sleep. Just remember to put the Vicks on and straight to bed - it doesn't seem to work for me if I am walking around. Good luck! I hope you all sleep well!

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.
