Well, I'm now old. Yesterday, I turned 25 and had a wonderful birthday. Andy spoiled me with a new vacuum (I actually asked for that) and a beautiful necklace and earrings (I'll always take sparkly stuff) and I was able to spend a lot of time with my family (my mom even helped me grade papers!). It was nice to have a quiet day and to spend it with the people I love.
Jackson is now at 23.5 weeks (only 16 to go) and getting bigger and stronger every day. Andy was able to feel him kick today and got a huge smile on his face. He waited so patiently for about half an hour and then started pushing on my belly to make Jackson mad enough to kick. I guess it worked because Jack sure walloped one at him! It's so cool to be able to share what I've been feeling for awhile with Andy.
Andy has been busy setting up the crib and trying to put the dresser together for Jack. Unfortunately, the dresser had a crack so we're waiting for a replacement piece. Andy's definitely excited and no where near as nervous as I am about getting everything done in the next few months. I have a lot of stuff at school to get ready, but I should all be done by the end of March and then I can relax... until labor starts :)
Mom's having surgery tomorrow, so please keep her in your prayers as she goes through a very long recovery.

I just realized that I never wished you happy birthday, even though I saw you on your actual birthday and everything. So, yeah . . . Happy Birthday.
