A close call...

Well I haven't posted a belly pic in a while b/c I've been sick. I felt so bad and probably couldn't stand still b/c I've been coughing so much! Good news, though, I'm feeling much better! Ahhh...The wonders of medicine and my wonderful doctor! I'll try to get a pic up this weekend.

I was in a fender bender on Wednesday of this week, and we had a little scare! A lady rear ended me in traffic on the way home from work. She came with such force that I hit the man in front of me...fantastic! Henry got jostled around a bit and didn't like it. Thankfully, Jared was only a few cars in front of me, so I called him first and he came to the rescue. Yes, I called 911 and the police came, but Jared's my hero! The officers were very strict with me and wouldn't let me out of the car. I was feeling some pressure where Henry is, so we went to the hospital per the EMTs suggestions.

Now for those of you who know Jared, you know that's he's a pretty calm, relaxed guy. He drives extremely careful...no make that, annoyingly careful! We've often joked that he "might" drive 5 over the speed limit when the baby comes. I don't know what got into him, but he took charge and drove us to the hospital with flashers on at 90 miles an hour!!!! To look at him, he was cool and collected. You'd think he was going 60 or so, but when I looked at the speedometer...the needle was WAY OVER!!! He even cut through a parking lot! He never showed a sign of distress, however. Once we got to the hospital, they hooked me up to some monitors: One to gauge Henry's heartbeat and one to gauge my contractions. We were there for 6 hours! They did all kinds of blood tests and such. They let us go home but had some concerns (I will save you from all the details). So needless to say, we went home feeling apprehensive. On Thursday I went to see my doctor, Dr. Eisenberg. We listened to the heartbeat, and he did everything necessary to make sure Henry was safe. I LOVE him, I LOVE him, I LOVE him!!! He takes such great care of us! Dr. E assured me that everything's okay. YEA!!!

Jared and I will go in for a sonogram in 2 weeks. We opted to get the 3D, 4D sono done. I can't wait to see that little "Too" (Henry's nickname in the "Oo" Family). He'll be so much bigger!
