So, I'm driving along the 55 fwy south. Actually... I was in true California highway form (at a trafficy complete stop)
And wadda know... No screeching. No abrupt stop made by me. Just an SUV slamming into the back of my little red car. I was speechless. Called the CHP. Then, in true pregnant form, I cried for about 10 minutes.
The culprit? Mr. Mukutmoni. A little Indian man born in 1930!
So, the police report was made and information was exchanged.
I was actually on my way to see my OB Doc. (I'm going once a week now) So, I just went to my appointment. They give me an exam and rushed me off to get blood work, ultrasound, and fetal monitoring. I was getting nervous that they thought I needed so many tests. I called Paul at work and let him know that they were giving me a bunch of tests and I think when he heard that, he freaked a little. I think it was when I said, "They are testing for internal bleeding."
My mother thought I was playing an April fools on her. My phone wasn't getting reception and I had to go from office to office quickly. So, no one could really get a hold of me. I think that my mom and Paul were pretty relieved when they were finally able to get the full story when they found me on the fetal monitor in a different office. Her face was white and Paul looked stressed. aw...
It was a memorable April 1st. A part of me was hoping to be dilated. But, I can wait.
My neck and back are sore, but the baby is safe. I'm just glad that he was in my belly and not in the car seat in the back. If the airbags deployed it would have been messy. There is about 2k of damage to the car. But, it is drivable and I have been going through the insurance hoops.
Thank you Mr. Mukutmoni! I don't think he even realized that he hit a 9 month prgnant lady. Those were some serious glasses he was wearing. 80 years old... Maybe its time to stop driving sir.

I am glad you are ok! That is always scary and being preggo-double whammy! Love you...can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad that it wasn't any worse and hope that you'll be all over the aches and pains of the accident so that you'll be ready for Jayden's "grand entrance" into the world...we can hardly wait! Love, Grandpa and Grandma
ReplyDeleteOhhh my goodness. I am so glad everything is okay. I am sure it was pretty scary. I laughed about wishing you were dilated because that is exactly what I thought ... only ten more days. You can do it!!! We are excited for you and our prayers are with you and Paul and of course little Jayden.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you & Jayden are okay. I was rear-ended when I was pregnant with Abby. It's a scary feeling. I'm sure it was even scarier since you were much further along than I. I know you wanted to deliver Jayden by now, but I think you're right. He was much safer in your womb than a carseat in back. Take care!
ReplyDeleteBTW - This is Sara, Dan & Jess' friend from dinner at the Astons a couple weeks back. We live just a block away so when Jayden arrives, I'd love to bring you guys a meal to help out! :o)
