We Are All Okay

ste_noniEllie and I were hit by an oncoming car tonight on the way home. Thankfully, he hit a siderail first, meaning that when he hit us, he hit the car on the driver's side. Once I realized there was nothing I could do, I managed to look over my shoulder to see Ellie. It dind't look like she got shaken too badly. I love my Honda - the hit was hard but solid. There was no real jerk but more of a hit.
THe guy was super sorry and even more so when he saw Ellie and then even more so when he saw I was pregnant. Speaking of the baby, as far as I know, everything is fine. No pain, no contractions, and no bleeding. In the best of circumstances, I can't see going to the ER. However, I can feel my back and neck stiffening as I speak. I have a midwife appointment tomorrow and I'll probably go to my regular doctor after that, just to be safe. Of course, Joe is in Georgia until tomorrow night.
The one good thing in all this was that my friend C was able to come get me pretty quickly. She and her daughter entertained Ellie for the 2 hours it took the cops and tow truck to arrive. I drove my car home after the guy who hit me changed my tire. I'm not driving it anywhere else. It's not aligned, one of the doors doesn't close properly and random lights keep going on. Joe will help me resolve the thing on Friday.
Maybe more details tomorrow....it's not Ellie's bedtime and she has not even had dinner yet.

May the worst of this be alleviated by advil or tylenol, and may adorable Ellie remember it as FUN rather than scary (I swear, my brother took all scary incidences as fun. He now races cars. )
