28 Week Appointment/Cousins

These are my 26 week pictures I haven't posted yet, even though I'm writing about my 28 week appointment. We got to take our first "cousins" picture; we're pretty excited about it. Josh's brother and wife are expecting a baby boy 2 weeks after our baby. We're all excited they'll be so close in age. :)


My appointment went well this month. I had my glucose test and had to drink this yummy orange drink. I was a little nervous about it being gross, but I ended up really liking it. I don't have my results yet, but they said no news is good news and then if I hear from them I might have to get tested again. They could feel where Viper was and he/she is head up which is why I'm having some pain again. She could also feel some muscle separation in me in the same place so she said if I'm sore not to be worried. They aren't worried about the baby being head up, they usually like it to be head down at about 34 weeks? or something similar.
The heartbeat this time was 150-160; much higher than 120-130. I thought it was funny and asked if it was normal to be that much higher. She said it was perfectly normal; and actually commented that it was probably because of how active our baby was; it's like our baby is working out in there. She also commented that "Wow, your baby kicked my doppler away" and "Wow, your baby is really kicking hard!" I barely noticed it was even being active, I thought it was sleeping. That is HOW active it gets sometimes. So for the third week in a row they found the heartbeat, Viper kicked it and moved away and they had to find it again. They've all commented on it. I think it's hilarious.
I've also been getting some leg numbness; she said it's probably Sciatica and to see a chiropractor. All my vitals looked good at I only gained 5 pounds this month instead of 8 so they didn't yell at me this time. Yay!
