25 Week Update

Annabelle and I had a checkup yesterday afternoon. We are now 25 weeks along and doing very well. She's growing ahead of schedule but I think she's using my long torso for her growth rather than growing outward. (I still do not have that big of a belly) I think I look like I'm expecting now but I'm still not like others who are at the same stage. The doctor told me, though, that she's growing and developing very well and not to worry about how much my belly is growing.

Her heartbeat was at 148bpm yesterday, so she's staying pretty steadily in the 140s. I go in for my sugar test in 3 weeks - I pray that I pass!!! She is moving ALOT lately, too. I truly believe that she's awake more often than she's sleeping which kinda scares me since I've read that she's starting her sleeping schedule already. She's still being stubborn for her daddy and refuses to move when he can see or feel.

Of course, Jason is still working out of town. Next week is supposed to be the last week, but I have my doubts. He's now working 5-10s instead of 4-10s, too, so he's away for longer each week. I suppose time will tell when he gets to come back home. I hope soon, though.

For those of you who don't know, we already have a contract on our house. We have no place to move to yet, but we have until mid-November to vacate the premises so hopefully we'll have one by then! Add in the complication of not knowing if we're going to stay in Parkersburg - and we have one stressed out momma! LOL So, I have no idea where to look for a new home, Jason is out of town, and we now have to start packing up for the big move. I'm just a little bit stressed.

Once again -- Thank you all for your prayers for us. We ask that you continue to do so. We're very thankful that our Anna-Banana is healthy and growing well, and we look forward to being able to introduce her to you all here in about 15 weeks!
