More Pics...

I know many of you have been waiting for more pictures of Jackson... so here's some more Baby J! Enjoy!

Introducing Jackson Edwin Perkins!

Jackson was born on January 13 at 10:38 AM.

20 inches, 6 lb 14 oz

At birth they had him recorded at 7 lb 12 oz. Then they realized that the weight was wrong when they weighed him again that evening. I just found a picture I took at the time of weighing. And, thanks to Sony, we now know that he was 6 lb 14 oz. If this was a football game, the original call would have been overturned.

And now you know that Vanessa is not the typer of this message...

Now for some pictures...

It's Been A While...

I haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I would update everyone on the goings on in our life (even though there isn't much going on).

I'm still pregnant, now more than ever, and we're hoping that the baby will make an appearance any day now. I still have a week till my due date, but I've been ready to be done for the past few weeks and I think Andrew's been ready to be done with my whining for about as long.

Christmas was really good. We were quite blessed with the generosity of people in our ward. It was probably the first christmas that I wasn't expecting too much, but was given more than we could ask for. Christmas day we went to our landlord's brother's house where we had a really fun time with everyone. And then the next day, Andrew had to take me to the ER for my asthma (the day after holidays isn't really a good one for me it seems since we ended up having to do the same thing the day after Thanksgiving). Luckily, they got my breathing in check in enough time for us to be able to enjoy the after christmas sales and allow us to get the remainder of our baby needs.

New Year's was spent with another couple, Jeff and Lorrette, that we know through Andrew's LOL group. It was simple, but a lot of fun. It's exciting since most of our friends are single, so it was nice to spend some time with another couple who we have a lot in common with. It's pretty fun to watch Andrew and Jeff bounce their funny off of each other.

Andrew just started classes this past week and I miss him a little. Just a little. It was nice to have him around during the break, but now he's back to busy schedule he had right before the break. But I won't be spending too much time alone since one of my friends insists in staying with me so that I'm not alone when I go into labor. She's so nice! And I know Andrew appreciates it a ton. He doesn't have to worry so much about not being with me.

That sums everything up for now and hopefully the next time I post something, I'll be sharing some really good news. Cross those fingers!!
