I was kept at home alone last night for hours very worried. Heidi called called about 4:15 and said she was just in a car accident. He told me and took off to get her. When he showed up Heidi was walking around ok, the police were just getting there with EMT in tow. They called Heidi's OB/GYN and said to go in and get checked out. After finishing with all the accident stuff and moving the car off the road, Chad and Heidi drove to the hospital.
Here was the accident written by Heidi. 2 guys were out of their cars fighting in the road. There was 1 car behind them. Car 2 behind them. I was car 3. I was stopped trying to figure out what was going on. I was there maybe 5-10 seconds, always looking forward... bam I was hit by car 4 and pushed into car 2. I grabbed my phone and the battery light was flashing so I called Chad. I got out of the car fairly shook up, but no pain. There was also a car 5 that hit 4. My car had almost no damage to the front end, but a fair amount to the back. We were able to drive it later to a body shop. We don't even have a guess if the insurance company will total it out or not. It is an 8 year old car. I am not really ready to buy a new car... but if we have to. I know Hans and Rachel have a few to recommend!
Heidi spent about 4 hours at the hospital. They were going to check her over first in the ER. It was taking to long, so they went up to labor and delivery. After about an hour and a half of monitoring Heidi was having a few contractions. Marshall was doing great the whole time. Heidi was given a shot to stop the contractions and watched a little longer. At about 9:30 they were released with instructions to take it easy for the next day and come back if the contractions start again. We are all hoping this is the practice run to the hospital and the next time there will be a delivery!
We are going to try to stop by the body shop today and get a few pictures of the car. Otherwise just take it easy today. We have a baby class tonight "Home and car safety" I wonder if they will tell us car accidents are bad!
