One more week until I'm in the 3rd trimester! Well technically I only have 3 days left as today I am 26w 4d... How exciting!
So last weekend we left for Canada to see our honeymoon friends and their adorable 4 month old, (aka baby girl's future BFF) and about 5 miles from the border of NY and Canada, we got side swiped by a 19 year old girl that wasn't paying attention. She was changing lanes so quickly and apparently wasn't interested in sharing the road with anyone else and she clipped us on the drivers side of my car. Luckily we weren't injured at all and no body work needs to be done, it's all paint. Needless to say we were lucky... she wasn't injured either, although her car did do a 180 spin and luckily landed on the shoulder... otherwise things could have been a lot worse. It was raining that night so the roads were wet, but we're very thankful that it wasn't a downpour or worse, snow.
Her insurance company is taking care of everything and I just picked up my rental this morning and left my car with the body shop to get fixed. I currently drive an '06 Corolla and they put me in a 2012 Corolla... I was joking with my friend earlier this week that they were going to put me in a Corolla, but at least it's 6 years newer... and it has new car smell. I love new car smell! My car will be in the shop for about 5-6 days... take as long as you need! I'm enjoying this sweet little ride.
The baby is fine, I decided not to go to the hospital that night since it was such a minor accident, there was hardly any impact (less than you would feel going over a speed bump) and I felt the baby move all that night and the weekend after. No cramping, bleeding, bruising, nothing... so I was pretty confident in my decision. Well after a few days past and I got a hold of her insurance company, they were talking about wanting my statement saying that I was healthy and the baby was ok and I honestly wasn't comfortable telling them that information when I hadn't been to the doctor yet... When they told me I hadn't been to the doctors yet, they then proceeded to tell me that if they did find something wrong with the baby at an appointment that was already scheduled before the accident, the company couldn't be held liable for the medical charges. They could only be liable if I made the appointment for the accident specifically and and I had a year to file a claim... so I got my butt in the office and of course turns out, everything is fine. So thank God for that.
Things have been progressing very well and I am totally anxious for the coming weeks. I have to take my glucose test on Saturday (yay for Saturday hours in the lab!) and then another OB check up on the 29th and then another ultrasound on the 31st to check to see if my placenta has moved. If it hasn't, I think they're going to talk c-section, which I am surprisingly ok with.
Also, here are some of the 4D ultrasound pictures that I forgot to upload last week...
Look at that face!! Too bad she was covering most of it with her hands, but I love what I can see!
Today baby girl is kicking like crazy and is the size of a head of lettuce!
Your Baby: Week 26
Symptoms: Back pain, mostly at night and in the mornings.
Food Cravings: Chocolate chip cookies and most sweets... anything to do with chocolate and sweets.
What I'm most excited about: Getting her nursery finalized!
Something I've done to prepare for baby: Well my plans for having the nursery painted by now have fallen through... still waiting for my sweet sweet husband to move the two remaining bookshelves from the room so that I can get to painting. The tape is up however and I am ready to rock and roll... After the paint we will work on getting her furniture together and all of the decorating aspects of it that are now all purchased, just waiting to be used!
