Car. Bang. Oh God!

The above title is a direct quote from my daughter. It's been quite an eventful 24 hours. Yesterday as we were headed out to buy groceries for our trip, we got into an car accident. We were doing our family thing and pointing to the moom for Tabby and cruising along. Next thing I know we're barreling down on a pickup truck and all I could do was scream. Airbags deployed, but we weren't traveling at high speeds and no one was hurt, thankfully. Our car hit the pickup which hit another car … one of those horrible things that can happen to anyone just by taking your eyes off the situation for a second.

Poor Matt feels awful and while I'm bummed about my car (all paid off, less than 1 year old) I am really relieved no one was hurt. The car did what it was supposed to do and we hardly felt it. I had called my OB last night and the after hours people had told me to do whatever I felt was correct. I felt fine and I didn't relish a visit to the frequently inept and ALWAYS slow after hours crowd, so we went on with our evening. But when I called back this AM they wanted me to be seen … at the hospital. So we went in and did that whole deal. My own OB was the one on call (bizarre, I never even saw my OB from last time at the hospital, even when I delivered or in the three days afterward). And she did a complete check, including ultrasound.

Which is when we learned that we're having a boy! And everything is just fine.

I also got over 4″ chopped off my hair this afternoon. Like I said … eventful.

  1. I'm glad that everyone is ok. Accidents are scary enough when it's just you, but when it's you and your kids, that's even more scary. And one of my biggest fears. Especially being pregnant.

    P.S. Make your you check with your insurance company about getting a new car seat, since your air bags deployed.

  2. Whew! Glad all are well. Hey, nice perk to that ultrasound. Yeah, I'm sure you would have rather lived in suspense but at least something good came of the bangboom.

    Congrats on your little guy!
