Gimmie a Break, Gimmie a Break!

So I went to the doctors' office today...and for the first time in ohhhhh 4 months, it wasn't for me.  I went with my husband.  On Thanksgiving Day, my husband went to the annual Turkey Bowl, that a bunch of boys/ men from his parents ward play every year.  He didn't go last year cause it was snowing.  But this year the morning dawned bright and cold, so off he went to play.  As he was playing I pulled my butt out of bed intent on baking and making some sweets, oh but I wasn't feeling good enough to sit let alone stand to bake (I had a headache), but I'm going off in another direction.  I was hoping he would make it back to me in one piece.  The last time he played a friendly game of "tag/flag/touch" football he ended up head butting his best friend and getting 40+ stitches in his eyebrow.  Apparently, boys just don't know how to play "tag/flag/touch" football, it always turns into some form of tackle football.
So after playing for a couple hours, he comes home all smiles and pink faced, holds up his hand and proudly states that he busted his finger (which was splinted with a pencil...boys) BUT he was voted MVP! So naturally it was worth it.  Well we wrapped it up, cleaned up, and stopped at Wal-Mart for a real splint and then off to Thanksgiving dinner we went.
He was in pain, but man he took like a champ, he played with my nieces and nephew, and joined in on the family leaf fight (that I missed cause of my headache).  It was swollen, and hurt like the dickens (I imagine).  But we kept in wrapped and him on a constant stream of Advil.  The swelling went down some, and the pain faded away, so we decided that it must have just been jammed.  That's no biggie.  Oh, we were wrong.
On Sunday the swelling came back, and Monday morning on my way to work he text me, to get him an appointment at the Dr.'s ASAP.  So being the best wife ever, I did.  And that's where we spent the afternoon today.
The Doctor informed us, that persistent swelling is typically indicative of a break (silly us).  He took an x-ray, and I crossed my fingers that there wouldn't be a break.  I was let down.  He has a diagonal fracture above his middle joint on his left pinky finger.  It's a clean break (good) it's been broken for a week and a half (bad).  So now, we have to go see a specialist, and hopefully they won't have to re-break his finger.  The Dr. is going to call us with a name, and then we will make another appointment and go from there.  But for now he has his finger wrapped and immobile.
And BTW the staff at West Jordan Medical Center is amazing! I have all my prenatal visits there, they have the capabilities to do x-rays, and blood testing on site.  If anyone is looking for a health care provider, I would highly recommend them.

P.S.  We will be finding out the sex of the baby next Tuesday!!  We're hoping for a boy, so fingers crossed.  I will update as soon as we know!
