An eventful day :(

I was rear ended by a pickup truck on my way to work this morning, going north on I-5, I had just gotten on the freeway from Federal way. The guy was following WAY too closely even as we got on the freeway, I knew I should have followed my gut feelings and changed lanes! Anyways, I could see that traffic was stopped so I let off the gas and slowed all the way down, I didn't brake until I actually had to stop. All of a sudden, I see the guy coming at me and I KNEW he was going to hit me. There is minimal damage to my car, but I was irritated that the guy tried to blame the accident on me, saying that I had slammed on the brakes. Um you hit me buddy! He actually argued with the state patrol when he was cited for the accident!

So off to the hospital I went to get checked out, since I was cramping slightly and just wanted to make sure that everything with the baby was ok. Justin and I spent a good two hours in the ER and another 4-5 hours in Labor and Delivery getting monitored. Turns out that the baby is fine, I just have a slightly sprained lower back that is KILLING ME. So now I'm on vicodin and taking the day off of work tomorrow to rest. I'm happy everything turned out ok, and most of all, that our baby is safe!
