another exciting day ...

We were rear-ended this morning on the way to work/school. The car appears to be undamaged, but the BG started crying and said her head hurt, so we called it in just in case, and they wound up putting a collar on her and improvising a back board with her car seat, and then she had Baby's First Ambulance Ride, followed a couple hours later by Baby's First X-Ray, and then Baby's First Whiplash Diagnosis.
(The driver who rear-ended us got out of the car and seemed nice enough -- apologetic, the way one is -- but when Mark pulled out his phone, she got back in her car and drove off before either of us could get her plate numbers.)
This is the part that KILLS ME: We left the house, and we'd just pulled from the alley into the street when the BG exclaimed, "Guys, you forgot to buckle me in!" So I unbuckled myself, leaned over the seat and buckled her in, and then sat back down and rebuckled myself. And one block later? We were hit.
TFG she reminded us when she did -- I can't even bear to think about what might've happened if she hadn't been buckled in when we were hit.
