Scare

So lAst night we spent Boxing Day with my ILs. They live about 40 minutes away. They were calling for a snow storm originally but downgraded it for our area to an inch of snow, saying other areas would get hit harder. We took precautions and left the ILs while skies were clear. What do you know about 15 minutes into our drive there are blizzard conditions. I went over a small hill in the road and hit a patch of black ice with my 6 week old in the car. DH was sitting in the back and thought to hold his head/neck for support while we spun and went into a ditch. We were stopped by a tree, thank God, or probably would have rolled. My DS slept through the whole thing and a kind stranger pulled over to help. I have never been so distraught. I was physically ill thinking of my DS being in that situation. We are all fine but I wanted to post and share my experience so any new mommas in areas with bad weather know how easily this can happen. I'm officially hibernating until spring unless the weather is perfectly clear. It was traumatizing. 

 

Oh and the "downgrade" was BS. We have a good six or seven inches outside. No longer trusting the weathermen.

Sorry to hear you had to go through that. I rolled our pick-up when DS1 was 6 weeks old, and still cannot drive "normally" with the kids in the car if there is the slightest bit of snow/ice/slush on the road. Luckily for me, my DH was in the back with DS when we rolled, and like your DH, he put his hand on DS's head to support it. DH got a gash on his eyebrow and I got a bump on the head, but mercifully, DS was fine. Experiences like that really change you, though.

I know what you mean. Scariest experience I have ever had. I'm glad you were all fine as well. That will replay in my head every time it snows now.  

thanks guys
