Car Accident

Last wednesday, the 22nd, I got into a car accident. It wasn't very bad as you can see by my car. The damage was easy to fix and it wasn't even very much. I was on my way to work at 6:30 in the morning and I was turning left at 5600 W and 3100 S. This intersection in the morning is aweful. The only way you can turn left is to wait for the light to turn yellow. I was sitting there and the light turned yellow, so I waited for the intersection to clear. The light then turned red and the cars coming in the opposite direction started slowing down so I went. Well, when I was halfway through, some idiot didn't stop for the light and he just kept going and hit me. The stupid thing is they weren't going very fast so it was like playing bumper cars. We pulled over the the side of the road and I called 911 to report it. While we were waiting for the police to come the people who hit me (a 19 year old boy and I think his mother) were looking at my car saying "we'll fix it, we'll fix it" (they were hispanic and didn't know a whole lot of english). So that tells me right there that they were trying to get out of a ticket and they knew it was their fault. They wanted to get my phone number and leave but I told them we had to stay and wait for the police to come.

So the police came and got each side of the story. The other people kept saying that the light was "orange". The officer said to them, "There are no orange lights. There's red, yellow and green." The kid just sait, "No, it was orange." I had to fight back my laughter on that one! So we wrote down our statements on a form they gave us. When we were both done, we got the copy of each others reports. On their report they wrote that the mom was driving not the kid. I remember when they hit me I looked at the driver to see what idiot ran the red light and hit me and it was the boy! I told the police that and he said there was nothing he could do because there were no witnesses but he would talk to them about it. So I got a ticket for failure to yeild left turn and they got a ticket for not having a valid license. They had a Mexico license. (don't ask me how they got insurance with a mexico license because I haven't a clue)

The following Friday I called the insurance company to see if there insurance had called, which they had. So my insurance company got my side of the story. They were asking me things like, were you wearing your seat belt, and things like that. Well, she asked me if I was talking on my cell phone and I told her no. She told me the other driver said I was talking on my cell phone. I got mad when she told me this. Who would I be talking to at 6:30 in the morning? Everyone I know is asleep! So I offered to call my phone company and get a record of the calls for that day and she said it wasn't necessary. She said they believe their customers over anyone. So that was a relief! I also went into the doctors just to make sure that the baby was okay and everything was fine. They said it sounds like a happy little camper in there! So that was my latest adventure. The next adventure is tomorrow on Halloween when we find out what the baby is!!! YAY!!!

Halloween

So we get to find out what we're having on Halloween. So it'll be a really really good Halloween this year! At my doctors appointment my doctor told us that she will no longer be practicing obstetrics at the beginning of the year. So I have to switch doctors. So now instead of Dr. Morgan I get to go to Dr. Lamb. We got to meet him and he seems really nice. He's pretty funny too. I was really sad I didn't get to see Dr. Morgan anymore. And on top of that I might have a bladder infection. They were going to have me give a urine sample so they could test for it, but we all forgot and I left before we could even stop to think about it. So I was just going to go get it done when I go to the thyroid doctor this Friday. But I think I might want to go in sooner. It was really hurting me this morning. I'll call the doctors office and see what they think. So that's all the news I have for now.

Baby News

Last night for the first time, I felt the baby move! It was soooo cool!!!! It felt like a bubble moving inside me. It was the coolest feeling in the world!!! I can't wait to feel more. Tomorrow I have another doctor appointment. We're hoping we get an ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby, but we're not keeping our hopes up very high. We'll probably just get to schedule an appointment to find out. So we'll have to see. I'll post again tomorrow after the appointment telling how my appoitment went. So we'll find out tomorrow!

Shadow

Yesterday we took our dog Shadow to the vet. He has been limping on his back right leg since Monday. The vet said it was his hips. He has bad hip problems and he said it's like his bones are grinding together. So I had to leave him at the vets to get an x-ray of his hips. They had to put him under anesthesia so they could get him to hold still for it. It was so hard to just leave him there! I felt so bad! When I picked him up he wasn't his usual self and that made me really upset. I cried off and on the rest of the night. He was whimpering because he was in pain. The vet gave me some medicine to give to Shadow every day to help with the pain. Shadow is about 135 lbs. and they said he needed to lose about 40 lbs to get to a weight they like to see on him. So he has a prescription dog food to help him lose weight. Once he's down to the weight they'd like to see him at they'll switch him to another prescription dog food that helps with joints and bones in
his body. They said he'll be on prescription dog food for the rest of his life unless we get surgery on his hips to scrape some of the bone off so he's not in pain. I don't think I could handle dropping him off for surgery. It broke my heart having him home after the anesthesia! Maybe one day we'll get him that surgery, but right now it's going to have to wait. Poor Shadow!!!!

A Third of the Way There

YAY!!!!!!! I have officially started the second trimester of my pregnancy! This is week 14 and we're going good! We have another doctor appointment on October 10th and at that appointment she's going to give us the order for the ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby. So we'll have to schedule that appointment with the people who do the ultrasounds. So we'll find out what it is pretty soon! We're getting really excited!

San Diego

Last week was the trip to San Diego. I ended up not going because I didn't have enough time to take off of work. So Adam, Camille and Danny went without me. They had a blast!! On Monday they went to the San Diego Zoo for about half a day. Tuesday they went to Sea World and they just loved it! It was the highlight of the trip. They loved it so much they went back to Sea World on Wednesday for another half day. They swam in the hotel's pool every day and they all got sun burned. Thursday they hung out at the hotel until it was time to go back to the airport to come back home.

Doctors Appointment

So I had my monthly doctors appointment today. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat. It was so cool and I got so excited about hearing it that I giggled a little and we lost it and couldn't find it again. But that's okay, what we did hear was so cool! The next appointment next month we'll get a referral to the people who do the ultrasounds and we'll get to find out the sex of the baby! That'll be so cool! If it's a girl we have the name Hannah Lily picked out. If it's a boy it'll be Logan James. (Ashley, our kids can have the same middle name, I hope that's okay with you. Adam's pretty set on that name!) I'll keep everyone updated as the months go by!
