An Exciting Week

16 weeks down, 24 to go! We found out this week that our little Poppyseed is a BOY! We were surprised - but very excited. We are contemplating changing the baby's name from Poppyseed to Sesame Seed. We think that sounds a little less girly.

Here is a picture of me at 16 and a half weeks. I think you can finally see a small baby bump - IF I wear a very tight shirt.


Sadly, this is what I actually look like right now.



Crutches, boot, and all. Because... I was in an awesome car accident!

Imagine my left foot right next to this door as it was crushed.

Imagine me climbing through this glass to get out of my car through the passenger side.

Right before I saw this is when I climbed out of my car, tried to step on the ground and FELL OVER. That is when I realized that there was something wrong with my foot.

I was the final car in a 4 car accident on I-15. Above are cars 1 and 2. I still have no idea where car 3 is, or how they were involved. What I think happened is this: someone didn't slow down fast enough, and crashed into another car, which then crashed into the side of my car. As you can see, the other cars were worse off than my car. Unfortunately, I was the one that was injured in the crash.

However, I did get my very first ride in an ambulance. It was pretty exciting, but at the same time, not exciting at all.

You may remember Daniel's car accident about 6 months ago. Both times, not our fault. Both times, a broken body part for us! His was a broken wrist and thumb. Mine is a broken foot. Hopefully it will heal in about 6 weeks.

Really though, we are very thankful that I was not injured worse and that our baby is just fine.

All in all, it was a very exciting week for the Larsen family.
