Car accident

Just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for the thoughts and prayers for baby and I. Baby is doing great and I am still just a little sore but getting better each day! We have a doctor's appointment this week to double check everything.

So here is what happened:

I was trying to merge on the autobahn (highway) and was speeding up to get over (it has been sleeting that morning) and when I sped up the tires lost traction and I spun out of control. The truck hit the guard rail, bounced into the next lane and hit a semi-truck. It all happened very quickly. 

There was an American couple that was behind me that was such a blessing that they pulled off and where able to help by calling the police and sitting with me. I started having some contractions right after the accident, so an ambulance came and they recommended I spend 24 hours to be observed.

 Being in a foreign hospital was a bit of an experience. Most of the nurses and doctors spoke English but there was a little bit of a language barrier. The food was different. I had a very kind German roommate and she was getting a lot better and more food than me. I could never figure out why. Haha I am going to assume language barrier. Here is pictures of my dinner and breakfast. 

I am guessing that the meat is German baloney. 

Clayton was out of town for training during this time but was so lucky to be able to talk to him on the phone seconds after the accident and have his amazing coworkers and neighbor help out. 

Here is a picture of a bit of damage to the truck that the police took. I was already in the ambulance. 

The semi-truck, that was hit, only had damage the size of a quarter. 

God was definitely looking out for us that day. There could have been many different variables that made the accident so very much worse. If the airbags went off, if I was driving a smaller car, if there was no guard rails there, things could have been much much worse. 

Thank you again for all the thoughts, prayers and love. 

Lunch date, pen pals and little man update!

Clayton and I were able to go on a date last weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather of Wiesbaden. We tried a new place called, Das Burgers. A yummy burger place that we truly enjoyed! Defiantly a place we will have to re visit. The picture below is views of walking around Wieabaden and the beginning of Fall!

Clayton, Achilles and I went for a morning walk to the town near our neighborhood  and found this delicious bakery!! It was so very busy and did not disappoint! Croissants, pretzel, apple strudel and a bread I cannot pronounce or spell was what we tried.  They were all amazing!! Cannot wait to try more. Yumm

I have pen pals!! Mckenzie's 3rd grade class has started writing me letters and drawing pictures. They are so sweet and their letters make me giggle. Lots of questions about Germany, the baby, and if there are beaches near by. The picture below was one of my favorites!! Looking forward to more letters to come!

I attempted to make sunflower seeds! These were the sunflowers from infront of our apartment. I enjoyed them so very much when they were in bloom! The sunflower seeds turned out okay. Defiantly not as yummy as the store bought seeds but fun to make!!

Will leave you with a picture of our little man!! He was being shy and covering up his face. Bryan is measuring about 2 pounds right now and is very healthy. Officially in my 3rd trimester!! Baby will be here before we know it.
