Crazy Accident

This past Thursday I (Melissa) was driving home from work and was stopped on the freeway in traffic. I heard tires screeching and I knew that I was going to be hit. So I was rearended in the middle of the freeway. My first thought was hoping that the baby was o.k. so I was pretty shaken up. I called Matthew and he came home from school early so he could take me to the hospital to make sure that everything was o.k. We got to urgent care and after a hour and a half of waiting there and seeing the doctor, we were sent over to labor and delivery. They wanted to monitor the baby and make sure that he was doing alright and that I wouldn't go into preterm labor due to the stress of the accident. I was hooked up to a machine that watched the baby for 4 hours. Thank the Lord everything was perfectly fine and that there was no damage done to the baby. I am a little bit sore in my neck and back but for the most part the car took the biggest hit. We came home at 1:30 a.m. and went right to bed. We are so thankful that God protected that baby and myself. God is so good! We are now in Seattle to spend Thanksgiving with my family, so a little break will be nice after all the craziness!
