Today marks the 38 week point. I'm still feeling pretty good and have no major complaints, I'm just very eager to meet little Allie! We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and everything still looks good. I lost 3 pounds in a week (not great news but no need to worry) and my blood pressure is holding steady in the 140s. Her heartbeat sounded great and she's still head down. The doctor said I still haven't made any progress but the baby is dropping. He also said that I have what he thinks is a hernia in my groin area. He said it poses no danger to me or the baby during delivery and that it may go away on it's own once she's born. If not, they'll refer me on to a surgeon after her birth to have it repaired. No big deal really.
On a side note, today is my 27th birthday! Nick and I are keeping it low-key as it could be one of our last nights out together before we're parents! We're going to a local Indian restaurant for dinner and then probably back home. Lord knows I can barely stay awake past 9pm so it's not like we can do anything too crazy. I've heard that Indian food can induce labor so we're keeping our fingers crossed that little Miss Allie could be my birthday surprise! What a fantastic surprise that would be!
