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.
