16 Weeks...

Wow, where to begin.
I have never imagined to be at this place where I am now.
I am now almost 17 weeks pregnant and getting bigger by the day.
I actually look pregnant and not fat.
When I finally feel comfortable to post belly pics I will but as of right now I will wait.
We find out in 3 weeks what we are having and oh so excited.
And a month from today we leave for vacation. Our last vacation before baby comes.
We are spending 5 days in a chalet in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. And another thing we are oh so excited and grateful for.
We are slowly planning the baby shower and with the holidays in November and December we are planning on having it early November.

Our fridge died last week and it's only 2 years old. So I tried calling every repairman possible and they were booked for days and I couldn't go that long without a fridge so we had no choice but to go out and buy a new one.

A week ago today I was leaving work and heard sirens and saw cops driving eastbound on the street so I waited for them to pass so I could go westbound. As I was looking in my rearview mirror I noticed the cop doing a u-turn in the middle of the street and coming my way. I didn't think anything of it until I got to the intersection and noticed cops everywhere and a car speeding past me so fast I knew what was about to happen. North and Southbound traffic had the green light and of course the light that the speeding car was going towards was red, you know what happens next. The car slammed into 2 cars and they both went spinning out of control. The one car had a mother and small baby inside of it and my heart dropped. I instantly started crying and prayed for everyone to be safe. The mother grabbed the baby out of the car seat right away and stepped away from the car. You could see that she was crying and just holding the baby. The cop ran over to her and grabbed her and placed her in the car that was not more than 5 feet from my car, so I rolled down the window and asked if I could call someone for her and the cop told me they would take care of it. I couldn't see the other car as it was on the other side of the street and to many cop cars and ambulances in the way. I watched in horror as these events were going on but yet the cops were still driving up and down the street and I was realized the getaway car took off. They finally caught the 3 men they were looking for. Supposedly they robbed a gas station not more than a mile from my work and had 2 handguns and 2 tasers. I was so shooken up and waiting in traffic and thankfully my nerves calmed down. I can't believe what I just witnessed. It seemed like a scene out of "Cops" on tv but yet it was right in front of me. I couldn't wait to get home and hug the ones I loved. I had nightmares that night and thankfully it was only for one night. I just hope everyone is wearing their seatbelts because you never know when someone is going to come at you like that and slam into your car.
