The McMillen Family

It’s about time for a new letter.  At least that is what I was told! I can also tell you that this is final vowel in our son’s name.  I can’t wait to get the consonants out so that you can start guessing!  We had a doctor’s appointment in Memphis on Thursday.  It was precautionary just to check everything on Mini Mc.  The sonogram lasted about an hour taking lots of unique pictures of bones, his heart, and parts of his brain.  We also have beautiful pictures of our sweet child.  I will post these soon, but the grandparents all get their chance first!  He had his feet straight up in the air in front of his face with his ankles crossed.  I’m not sure where he learned that trick!

I am feeling generous today and I thought I would send out another letter for Mini Mac’s name.  Mini Mac continues to be “gifted” with lots of things to start his new life.  We are filling up the room that would have been Mini Mac’s if we were staying in this house!  We are very grateful for friends and family who have given us a great start!  The house is coming along nicely this week.  We have most of a roof and the bonus room upstairs is beginning to take shape!   The progress continues, the baby is growing, and we are excited!!!  

If you ask my mom she will tell you how important a name is to the person. She has more than one name meanings book and can tell you the meaning of her childrens' names! I have borrowed her name book, my favorite name book! Even though all of this info can be found on the internet. So the big question is, what is his name? I know you are all patiently awaiting the reveal. Well maybe not, but I will pretend like you are. In keeping with this excitement in order to reveal his name, we will be posting pics of the letters in his name. You must continue to follow often to keep up with new letters as they are revealed!

Is blogging even hip anymore? Or is this a world of fewer words? Tweeting – 140 characters or less - - I’m already half way there! Facebook – better known as face stalk – I don’t know why I even keep my account Google + The new and improved social network I guess if you update none of these, then what is the point. I am going to try to move back towards blogging. To sum up life we are building a house and having a baby! House – The house is coming along nicely. I will try to find some pics that help you visualize. It looks very different and takes longer than regular stud houses. We have a two man crew and laying block just takes a little time. We have a few interior walls and all exterior walls complete. The floor joists are going up this week in preparation for the roof rafters. Justin and I go daily to see progress and can’t wait to get moved in! Baby – The baby is on its way! Well, not that close, but we are halfway there! Justin went with me to the doctor
