I Hate Bambi!

I was the one who always felt sorry for the deer during hunting season, or when I saw one lying on the side of the road after being hit by a car.

Not anymore.

Last night, after teaching my second class (which I survived!) I was on my way home. I completely forgot that we live in an area with a high deer population. I was minding my own business, having just stopped for dinner, when Bambi and a friend decided to try to cross the busy highway. Needless to say, Bambi got hit....hard. Then got hit about 4 more times by other cars.

In a state of shock I was able to find the flashers in the car (after turning on the windshield wipers amongst other things) and get out of the car into the median in the event that another car were to hit me. My husband was panicking (rightfully so since he heard me hit it....no need to lecture about talking on the phone, thanks.) and wanted to make sure I was ok. The airbag never went over, and I was able to break a decent amount before impact. I felt fine and didn't have any belly pain.

Meanwhile, Bambi's little friend tried to come BACK across the road, probably to seek revenge on me, and ended up getting hit by a car too. In total, three vehicles were involved, two deer hit. Insane. I ended up going to the hospital after I called my OBGYN (who happened to be on call anyway, thank goodness) just to get the baby checked out. Once they cleared me in the ER, I headed to Labor and Delivery to get a sonogram.

I have to say, although I was shaken, I was very excited to see the little one again! Everything was fine, heartrate was 155, and he was moving everywhere! I could definitely feel him. Not only did we get some good pictures again, but we also got to see something a little extra!

I won't reveal on here yet, but soon, don't worry! I need to make sure close friends and family know first otherwise I will never hear the end of it.

After a very exciting night, my Thanksgiving break can FINALLY begin...even if I won't have my car for awhile :( Poor Elly the Equinox. Elly can be replaced, thankfully myself and the little one are just fine. Another thing to be thankful for this holiday!
