Our baby girl has a name...

Our baby girl has a name!!!






Liv Sophia Jackson


We prayed this over our 4th baby before we were expecting. :) 
Psalm 128:3

   Your wife will bear children as a vine bears grapes,
      your household lush as a vineyard,
   The children around your table
      as fresh and promising as young olive shoots.
   Stand in awe of God's Yes.
      Oh, how he blesses the one who fears God!

Liv (Latin: from the Olive Tree, Hebrew: Crown
Olive means wisdom, glory, power, pureness and peace.) 


Sophia: (Greek: wise and having great wisdom and foresight)

Baby Jackson Reveal Party

On Thursday, December 22nd we had our 20 week ultrasound. We had decided to not find out, but wait until that night to find out with all of our family. Our ultrasound went great and the baby was healthy and happy. The baby did however have her legs crossed sitting criss cross apple sauce and would NOT reveal her parts. Well, that would not work...so we waited. The computer rebooted and while we waited we found out that the lady doing our ultrasound was from Smithville and she coached girls basketball with a private school that played against Michael's team years ago. We was still in shock that we won that game over 11 years ago and remembered the coaches of our team. So, after we became friends we waited until this baby girl moved her legs and revealed herself. When they did the profile picture of the baby I told Mike that this baby looks like a girl and if it was a boy he was REALLY "pretty". The picture reminded me of Camille. I was shocked, but happy! I just figured that after 3 girls and years later and a boy would show up. Boy, Is God funny! 

We had lunch and then I ran home to take the envelope to our friend Traci who made the cake. She opened the envelope while driving home. :) 




 We told everyone to wear either blue or pink, but some could not do just ONE color. :)
 All of the girls picked blue, but said that they would be happy with a girl too.


 Team Blue
 Team Girl
 Oh, what a fun moment!!!
 We kept yelling, "Come ON!"
 Finally the BIG reveal!!!
 Our world just changed forever....now that we know! :)

 YES, we are HAPPY!!

 Pretty little GIRL!!!

Baby Heartbeat

The day before Thanksgiving I had my midwife appointment late in the day. Thanksgiving traffic was CRAZY already and I was worried that it would take me hours to get from North Austin to Bastrop. I went the back ways and everything was just fine. Got home JUST in time. 


My appointment was very short. I gained 9 pounds in 6 weeks, so now that Thanksgiving is over I have to watch my carbs. Truth is, I have been eating WAY more carbs than I should, but MAN they taste SO good now! I had a great walking routine that went out the window when all the fun of field trips and parties came along in November. So, I am going to make time to walk again. She said I will be fine now if I try to only gain a pound a week. :) 


Mike had the girls, so he missed hearing the baby heartbeat. OH my...too precious. I was so happy for her to finally find the heartbeat. Mommas need to hear that sounds for confirmation that everything is ok. Heartrate was right at 140. December 22 we have our ultrasound to find out more details....:)
