UPDATE ON BABY BOY BRADEN

I went yesterday to the Doctor. Here is the status update:
Mommy gained one pound makes it around 31-33 pounds. WAY TOO MUCH!!!
Blood pressure 110/62
His fluid was at 16.0-which is GREAT!! So he is still ok in there.
I have not dilated or effaced ANY! NOTHING NADDA ZERO ZILCH NONE!!
So she told me to come back next week-I am scheduled for Thursday. If nothing has progressed she will go ahead and set a date to induce. I am thinking if we HAVE to induce to do it the 23rd anyways. For several reasons, I don't want to be in the hospital on Thanksgiving or the Friday after. We can't induce on the weekend and I really don't want to be induced that following Monday-for some personal reasons. So maybe he will come before or on the 23rd. DOUBT IT but lets all pray for that at this point.
I have everything ready-just need to make a list of things if it happens in the middle of the night. Things like my pillow, camera, video camera, shower stuff, etc. That is stuff that I cant live without. If you know of some things that you just could not live without in the hospital that you think I may need then please email me mandy.cox@stvhs.com-I need to be prepared. Or at least feel like I am.
Brad and his Lt installed the car seat last night. I got some last minute things from Wal-Mart-and yes I have my wrap ready for my belly. So after he is born I slather my tummy with FIRMING cream and wrap it up with an ACE bandage and pray that it all sucks back into place QUICKLY!!
Today was WARRIOR DAY! HAHA We went to the ball field and walked around. We saw every one from Warrior that we knew-it was fun-well as fun as it can be at 39 weeks pregnant and feet swelling. We left there and went to none other than CHICK FIL A. I swear we need to buy stock in CFA. We eat there at least 3-4 times per week. WE LOVE IT! Then we went to get Brad some running shoes. Oh how I would love to just bend over to tie my tennis shoes these days. While there the boy from track shak was asking when I was due-and I told him I was missing all the fun runs I am missing with my running partners- Amy and Rob aka CHIEF. I really am missing the turkey trot and the red nose run. He said no if you have him-meaning Braden the end of November that gives you 6 weeks to get back to running. And you can make it to the Red Nose Run-which is 10 miles people. I have not run 10 miles since MARCH. OK so obviously he has no idea what it means to actually have a baby!!! 6 weeks-I WISH! Track Shak Man- I hope you are not that hard on your wife when it comes time for her to have a baby. Does he really think that the next day she can go run a mile much less walk to the bathroom from her hospital bed.
Well enough of the nonsense here is what you all have come to see:
