What's Happening With the Jackson's?

This is what I had Trey open up to tell him he was going to be a Daddy!

Well, it's been almost 6 months since the last time I updated this blog. Many times I have thought about writing and I just haven't. Let me tell you though, so many things have happened in the last 6 months!

So after the last post I started going to counseling. Let me just say, it was probably the best thing I could have done for my mental health. I learned coping methods for my anxiety, but most importantly I learned that my anxiety wasn't something that I was burdened with and needed to fix. I was created with it in order to further glorify God and build his Kingdom. My anxiety doesn't make me messed up, I just needed to learn healthy ways to deal with it. I came back for the new semester after the holiday excited, at peace, and with a general feeling that God was going to do something great this year. I had no idea what that was, but let me just say, Trey and I found out shortly into the new year what that thing was.

I went on a gals weekend to Disney with some of my friends from my summer mission at the mid/end of January. Before going on this trip, I had this feeling that maybe I was pregnant. I also had about 7 dreams about it, so I wasn't sure what all that meant. When I came home from Disney, I took a pregnancy test, and low and behold I was pregnant! My dreams were right, and I can't help but think that the feeling that God was about to do something great was this little baby and how much our life was going to change for the good because of it.

I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant and hopefully done with the morning sickness. There was a good 5-6 weeks where I was so sick I couldn't eat much or do anything. I'm praying that doesn't happen again and that my appetite continues to return. In 2 weeks I go back to the doctor and they will be able to find out the gender. I cannot wait to find out and be able to start making plans for the nursery and to start figuring out a name.

In other news, we found out that Trey is going to be a Quartermaster officer when he commissions in a little over a month! We will be moving to Fort Lee Virginia for 4 months while he completes his job training before we move to our first duty station. As of right now, his date to start training is 3 days after my due date, so he's trying to get that moved. We're in a limbo right now, but I know that God has us and that whatever time is right for him to go is perfect. So now we wait. We pray and hope for dates that don't coincide with my delivery, but ultimately know that God is sovereign and his Will will be done. We are trusting him, and that's all we can do.

Thanks for listening and joining in on the highlights of our little fam in the making!
