scary night - update

Tonight we drove 4 hours up to my parent's house. We are going to be here all week and I was so excited to get out of the city and relax for a week with my husband. 

Well, about 30 minutes from my parent's house we hit a massive deer. We were going about 60mph and hit it pretty square on. It mostly hit the passenger side though, the side I was in. Normally this would make me a little shaken up, but having a 2 month old baby in the backseat made it pretty much the scariest experience of my life. I just got out of the car as soon as I made sure she was alright because I thought I was going to A. throw up or B. pass out. 

Our car got it pretty bad. The radiator is pretty much gone. I am praying it isn't beyond repair, because we just cannot afford a new car right now. But, honestly I just don't even really care about the car. I just keep looking at my baby tonight and realizing that life is precious and I need to take full advantage of the opportunity I have to love her. 

Sorry for being dramatic, babies just change everything and make life 10xs better and 10xs scarier. 


update: Well, it looks like our car is no longer. It isn't worth how much money it would take to fix all the damage so they are taking it away to the junk yard. I am having a really hard day. I have finally stopped crying, but there was about an hour that I literally could not stop myself from crying. We technically have another car. When we moved in May we gave it to BIL to store and use, since there is only room for one car at our current (near downtown) apartment. BIL and DH work together so they drove in it to work, along with another friend (sometimes). So, hopefully we will be able to use that car and DH and BIL can drive with the friend to work, and obviously pay him for gas. This still sucks, because we are still out a car. Also, it was my first car. I got it when I turned 19. It was the car I drove when I was first dating my husband, when I first moved away from home, the car that was decorated at our wedding and the car we drove our first baby home in. So, besides the financial worries, I am feeling very sentimental. 

Also, we are looking into the car seat situation. It looks like we will probably have to get a new one. I am 100% sure it was not damaged so I am looking into any way we can keep it. No one was hurt in the car, the airbags didn't go off, but we were not able to drive it away because the radiator was broken. LO was sleeping and didn't even wake up the whole time. Not until after my parents picked us up and drove us home and I got her out of her car seat to snuggle her. So, at least she wasn't psychologically damaged. :)

Thanks for all the well wishes! It actually is really helping me during this emotional and worrisome day.
