Today was not my day

It was bad enough that I had a slightly rough day at work today and did my best to stay at work as long as I could.. I didn't feel that great the last couple hours of work... so when I climbed into my car to go home I had no clue what was in store for me.. I knew that I needed to take my car in to the dealer to get some maintainence done since the light came on yesterday while on my way to my Uncle's to see my Cousin's 3 week old baby. I had even called this morning to make sure that I could get it done today.. well on my way there from work there was a ton of traffic and I was being a good girl staying in my lane and keeping an eye on the traffic in front of me.. well out of nowhere the lady in the lane next to me (4 lane highway) decided to go from her lane to mine.. except that my lane wasn't moving and she was Behind me. Can you guess???

Yup she hit me..

So we both pull over to the breakdown lane, I get on my cell phone to the police, the State Police arrive, the officer takes both of our information, fills out his form. Meanwhile the lady is apologizing over and over and saying that it was HER FAULT. I assure her that I am fine but inform her that I am Pregnant. That made her feel worse.. So I finally make it to the dealership and give them my car to do the whatever thousand mile maintenance that they need to do.. they tell me that it will be at least an hour maybe an hour and a half. I call Lee and my mom to tell them what happened and where I am. I also call my OB to find out if I should go to the hospital for observation.. I knew the answer.. I just needed to know for sure. So after talking to my mom I go back to the desk and tell them that since I had just had an accident that my OB wants me to get to the hospital asap. They wind up loaning me a car thinking that i'll be back by 8pm (when they close). Ha... I get to the hospital, change and then they tell me that I'll be there for 4 (four) hours.. at 7pm the dealership calls... your car is all set.. come on back.. I had to tell them that I'd see them in the morning since I'm not getting released till at least 10pm.

While at the hospital I get blood drawn and find out that my borderline anemia is not doing well. I also get an U/S done (turns out it was a BPP) and the girls are perfectly fine though extremely active. My nurse turns out to be someone I knew in HS and she took very good care of me.. kept bringing me water and ice and came by every so often to chat since for a while there I was the only patient on the floor. Turns out that she had twin girls 8 months ago, lives in the same city as me and she did IVF also.

Not sure if I am going to make it to work tomorrow.. I need to call my OB (it was after hours when I initially called and a different OB was on call) to tell him about the accident and the anemia and also get his opinion about if I should go to work tomorrow.

Warm gooey anything to anyone that got this far in my saga.. since I haven't eaten since lunch today.. and need to find something to eat before I climb into bed.
