Maternity Pants

Oh man... I was hoping to stay away from the maternity clothes for just a bit longer... but... I just can't seem to stop eating!! So yes, that means that I'm pregnant. 11 weeks today. Due date: May 19, 2009... which is REALLY far away considering I am not appreciating this pregnancy thing right now. My mom said she loved being pregnant--- I think she was on crack. My sister doesn't love being pregnant, but she wasn't sick either... me on the other hand... I was in bed for 2 straight weeks, I've been nauseous, tired, had horrible headaches, and just the overall "blah" feeling. Who ever thought pregnancy was kind of fun? Here's a picture of our first ultrasound. I know it looks like a head and body, but don't be fooled- the circle thing towards the bottom is just the yolk sak that the baby was feeding off of at the time (7 weeks) (gross). Baby had a good heart rate of 136 beats per minute and should be increasing now. We have an appointment on Thursday for my monthly check up, but we won't have another ultrasound until 18 weeks. My sister will have her baby before we find out the sex of this baby. It is just a bizarre feeling knowing that something is growing inside of you... just weird.

On a seperate note, Josh went hunting with my dad, brother-in-law and others over the weekend. They were hunting elk. Actually, my dad and his friends were hunting elk, Josh, Shaun, and John were just there for fun and to see how much alcohol they could drink. They had a good time, although the first day Josh managed to cut himself with a utility knife. It was a pretty deep cut and wouldn't stop bleeding for a while- he went to the doctor today and they said he should have gotten stitches when it happened, but now it has started to heal itself so there is no point. He did get a splint on it so he doesn't have to strain so much to keep it straight. It's right around his knuckle so it hurts quite a bit. I got in trouble for laughing at his splint... it's not that I was laughing at the fact that he was hurt, the splint is just kind of funny looking. But note to self: don't laugh at splints. I'll try to remember.
