Ya just never know

We got a little more sleep last night. I guess that doesn't mean anything unless I tell you that we got about an hour of sleep the night before. Every kid took a turn being up throughout the night. Except Dylan. He napped 3 hours that afternoon and then from 830 until almost 8 the next morning. Even through all the noise and crying that came from everyone else. He's a sleeper! Evan and Liam must be getting teeth or something was bothering them. Not sure what. Caden has been waking up wanting more lights turned on or saying that he is having a bad dream. Not the phase I'm wanting when we haven't even gotten to where the little kids sleep through regularly.

But then last night the kids slept til 6ish. Well, except Caden, he was up around 530ish - same thing as above. Figures that the almost 4 yr. old is getting up even without the little guys being up. What luck! Anyway. We feel much much better today.

Now the question is why the big difference? First of all - the terrible no sleep night was my night - as usual. Last night with all the sleeping was Justin's night. That might just be enough explanation these days. We also had friends watch and put the kids to bed for us so that we could go to a movie. Maybe they need to come do that every night? That day we had lots of company so maybe they just got more stimulation that day? Who knows? We go to bed each night with absolutely no idea what the night will bring. I'm sure that will be the way it is now for years to come. Parenting. As tiring as it sometimes is - it's quite a little adventure now isn't it?!

This morning was adorable. The kids got up so happy and smiley. They are SO CUTE (I was not saying that yesterday morning. I have to admit - they aren't as cute to me after a night of no sleep). Watching them walk around in their pjs and play and laugh together is one of my favorite things.

I wonder what tonight will bring?

hoping you have lots of sleep coming your way. I had to smile, because the first 2 times Lanelle slept through the night was when someone else had put her to sleep while we were out for the evening. Hmmm, I think they get up for mom.

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.
