Or.... as one friend has said, "God was sitting in the car with you."
Yesterday started as our regular Tuesday, which is usually an uneventful day.
I had an 8am doctor appointment before heading to our final MOPS group at church. My doctor appointment went well, things are moving along, as I'm now 34 weeks. My next appointment is 2 weeks and then I start seeing the doctor on a weekly basis.
I left the doctors office feeling fine and looking forward to going to MOPS. All of a sudden I felt a little warm and put down my window. I remember hearing Zachary say, "Mommy, its too windy, put your window up" and that's the last thing I remember. I woke up to find us sitting on the opposite side of the road, up on the curb, facing on coming traffic. As I was coming to, a woman came running over and was on her cell phone yelling, "Oh my gosh, she's conscious but she's pregnant!"
Apparently I had crossed over 4 lanes of traffic, a median, and in the process hit a sign. Somehow by the Grace of God, I had managed to avoid hitting another car or cars, which is unbelievable as it was morning rush hour. We were also about 30 feet away from going into a pond.
Both emergency response and Mark arrived at the scene in record speed, as they quickly rushed me off in an ambulance to the hospital to check on the status of the baby. Fortunately, the baby was still doing okay and they kept me at the hospital all day to monitor the baby's heart rate. They also ran numerous blood tests to try to determine what, if anything caused me to 'faint or black out.' The results didn't determine a reason why and they sent me home to take it easy.
Needless to say, I am little spooked about the whole thing and won't be driving any time soon. However, as I still have 5 plus weeks left, I will be begging for some rides and taking it one day at a time.
As I continue to replay the events in my mind, I am amazed at the outcome as it could have had such a different result. God definitely had His hands on us yesterday and I am so grateful for that. Also thanks (yet, again) to our other saving grace, my friend Beth, for rushing over to the hospital to pick up Zach and taking care of him all day yesterday.

God was definately watching over you yesterday. Thank goodness you, Zach and the baby are all okay.
I used to have black outs with my pregnancies but I was usually at home or work - never driving! How scary! Make sure to eat some protein every couple of hours - that helped me.
