Memorial Day

Joey and I visited our friends the McClains at their mountain house in Hiawassee, GA for Memorial Day. It was so much fun and so relaxing. We went to the Brasstown BBQ festival and an arts festival in Blue Ridge. It rained some which was a great excuse to take a few naps but didn't keep Joey and Jason from late night fishing on the boat (in the slip :)).

Back at home, our dear Uncle Marvin is having a bad bout with pnuemonia. We are praying for him all the time and hoping that he gets well soon. He's being released from the hospital today and headed for a beautiful hospice care center where he will hopefully feel better soon.

Baby Liam is squirming around a lot these days especially after I eat dinner each evening. He's due in just 4 months, we're getting very excited about meeting him :).

Baby thumps

Last night Joey and I were watching a particularly hilarious episode of How I Met Your Mother...Ted got beat up by a goat followed by the long awaited awkwardly funny Barney / Robin get together moment, needless to say I laughed a lot. Anyway, apparently Liam thought is was funny too and started squirming around so much that I could feel him from the outside. On the second trip out of the recliner and across the living room, Joey felt him squirming around in there too. It was very cool, and even cooler that Joey could feel the little bumps and squirms too!

Little Hall on the way!

Joey and I found out in late January that we are expecting a little one in late September. It has been a most uneventful pregnancy, everything has gone perfectly. Joey made a comment a few weeks ago (in a disappointed tone) that I am not experienceing any of the things that you hear that pregnant ladies experience. He is anxiously anticipating the day that my nesting instinct kicks in. I feel extremely blessed!! :) I am 20 weeks 5 days pregnant today, so a little over halfway to baby day. We found out last week that we're having a boy, his name will be Liam. We're both so thrilled to be starting this new chapter in our lives and can't wait to meet and introduce everyone to our little Liam.
