38 Weeks

Hello All!! Everything is still going well and I am still ready anytime Hudson is.

I had a pretty scary day last Friday. I went through McDonald's to get breakfast about 7:45 am which took me the Wabash route (I usually take Poplar to work) and as I approached 19th and Wabash I had to make a quick stop because traffic was backed up at the light. I glanced up to check the rear view in just enough time to brace myself for impact. The young guy hit me and I was pushed into the car in front of me. It really shook me up, I sat there for a minute until I realized I should probably get out of the car in case he hit my gas tank or something. I was fine, but concerned about where the seat belt had grabbed around my tummy. It was really hard to be mad at the guy, he is 18 and was driving a hunk of junk (now totaled) and he was so upset when he saw I was pregnant. I am sure that was the last thing he wanted to see. He was very lucky he did not get hurt. He hit me so hard that his car had bounced back 7 feet and various front end parts were laying between us. The police even asked if he had moved his car back. My Jeep is in pretty good shape considering. My hitch and back spare tire took most of the impact. I went to the Doctor's office after and they monitored me and the baby for over an hour. Hudson's lil heartbeat was just fine and he was very active. I however, was contracting every 3 minutes. The doctor said that it could evolve into real labor and to take it easy. The contractions stopped later on that day. So all in all it could have been a whole lot worse and hopefully the at fault driver learned something. I know he's going to learn really soon that insurance is expensive for and 18 year old male who's had an accident. So now I am dealing with getting estimates, I guess it helps pass the time.

Hope he comes soon : ) I am ready to hold him in my arms and not my belly!!

Love,
Cari
