One mom in this house is not enough

It has been a long day and it's only 1230 in the afternoon! I could definitely use an assistant these days. I'm trying to do this 3 day potty training thing with Evan. It's something that works only if you are with the child constantly. Well, I have Dylan who was pretty reliable but today he decides to regress some. Lovely. So I'm in the bathroom with one boy getting him cleaned up and the other one is in the living room, peeing on the floor. I get over there finally to clean him up and clean the floor and the other one is asking to go again. And over and over it goes. The 2 boys have gone through 30 pairs of underwear in 5 hours. WHAT! In there I am supposed to answer the phone and make lunch? Oh brother. What a joke my life feels like right now. I feel like I'm swimming in pee and poop. I hate to be frustrated so early on in the process. But I can't give up now and I know it's only a phase. Doesn't make me any less tired right now though. And I'm hoping to work out while they nap (yesterday their nap was 45 min. shorter than usual - ick) and then it's back at it again til bedtime. That's 8:00 for them but I'm usually asleep on the couch by 830 or 9 this week.

Good times!

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...

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...

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.
