Two and a half

-

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 on Friday to find out that we are having a BOY!! I don’t think I have ever seen him so excited about anything! We are still working on a name. Check the blog for updates about this topic. To tell our parents, we ate dinner together as a family, phoned in the sisters out of town and served cake. Traditionally people have a pink or blue cake made and when the grandparents cut in to the cake, they see blue or pink! We had a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. When the grandmothers cut into the cake there was silence. Just funny looks on all faces. Justin explained there is no point in eating cake unless it is chocolate. But in case they were wondering, we were having a boy! My dad nicknamed the baby, “Mini Mac” shortly after sonogram number one. So until the name is decided and revealed – Mini Mac will work. Mini Mac is on schedule to arrive on March 1. We plan to be in moved into the new house and ready by his birthday!

Two McMillens are now Two and 1/2, soon to be 3!

I am so very excited for you two! Mini Mac is one lucky kid already and I can't wait to meet him (and have him meet our mini too)!

Update and Welcome

I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well! Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair ( because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this! Funny Comments from Justin today - Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!" Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok , right Justin, that is how we tal

Boston Bound

Well you will notice (assuming I get internet and get to post this blog) that it is in fact 12:17am.  If you know me at all, you know that I am not awake at this time by choice!  Also keep in mind that it is technically 1:17 where I am. Let me walk you through the day  . . . Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy arrived in Ecru around 8am to pick us up.  The ride to the Memphis airport was quick and talkative.  We arrived at the airport around 9:30.   We unloaded all the bags at the curb and the men went to park the car.  Just trying to get a jump start on the day, I went to the ticket counter (where there was no line!) to see if I could get us checked in.  The man let me check all the bags and bumped us up to an earlier flight.  He was afraid that due to the weather, our 12:45 flight would be delayed.  When we got the gate we found out that the flight we were put on was also delayed.  The original flight was late getting to Charlotte, then flew to Memphis but could not land because of weather.

Welcome new readers

First, I would like to welcome our new blog readers to our lives online.  Because of Justin’s heart situation, we have some new readers to our blog.  I would like to encourage you to follow after this is all over with as well.  This is a fun way for Justin and I to share about our “interesting” (although you may not think so) lives! Health Update – Justin and I talked to and received an email from Dr. Gupta, the doc in Tupelo who is taking care of us.  He said that he is sending all of Justin’s info to Dr. Landzberg in Boston.  They should receive the info by Friday and hopefully review his info by Monday.  Dr. Gupta is expecting to hear from them by mid-week at the latest, hopefully by Monday or Tuesday.   So, Justin and the rest of the family are just in the waiting stage.  It reminds me of Dr. Suess’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go”.  There is a page or two about the “waiting place”.  You can tell from the pictures in the book and the writing, that this is not the best place to be
