Our daughter Sofia Rose was born on Monday, June 25 at 6:20PM by c-section and weighed 7lbs 14oz measuring 21 inches.
We went in for the last doctor's appointment before our scheduled induction on the 26th. On our way home, a woman in a minivan failed to look in our direction at an intersection and pulled out in front of us.
Time slowed.
There seemed to be plenty of time in which to stop.
Time and space ran out before that happened and we broadsided the van.
The car was instantly filled with airbag smoke and the horn was stuck on.
I called for an ambulance.
The lady repeated over and over "I didn't see you".
In reality she never even looked in our direction.
An ambulance took us to the hospital we were to visit for our original delivery. I had spoken to the OB while in route and informed him of the situation.
Upon arrival, they X-rayed Penney's chest because the seatbelt had really dug into her hard and she was having very bad chest pain whenever she moved. After we were cleared from the E.R. we were moved upstairs to labor and delivery where her doctor and high risk OB decided c-section would be best considering her chest pain (and inability to exert pressure) and possible unseen trauma to the abdomen which may complicate a natural delivery.
She was prepped for surgery and off we were.
From the time of the accident to the time of delivery was approximately 3hours.
Mom and baby are doing well. Mom's a little bruised and her incision is painful as expected.
I am in pain and tired.
Enjoy the pictures.

Congrats on your baby girl! I'm sorry about the circumstances but glad that all 3 of you are ok.
Oh, that must have been terrifying. I am so thankful the three of you are all ok. I just don't even know what to say, I expected to read that she was just getting induced today and everything was great... I just can't believe it.
