We were stopped at a red light. No one in front of me. I didn't even see them coming up behind me! The driver that hit us said he was looking at street signs or something and didn't even notice the light was red! The street is 45 MPH so I have no idea how fast he was going! But Ellie was so kind to blow them kisses when I took her out of the car to wait for the cop to come :)
I got whiplash. I feel okay. Shoulders a little sore so will see come tomorrow how I am. Ellie acts totally fine! Didn't even cry! She is 14 months and 21 lbs so she could ride forward, but I have had this feeling for awhile now that I need to wait on turning her around. Today was proof that it was a good thing she was not turned around, she too could have gotten whiplash and is to small to inform me if she is in pain. I am grateful for motherly intuition and knowing what is best for my child, even if some people *cough* my sister *cough* makes comments like "But Katie's kid are too cool to turn around at 1" Cause believe it or not, my child is too cool to ride forward and have her fragile little body in danger of other drivers not paying attention :)
Wed. update: Ellie still acts just fine and not in any kind of pain. I on the other hand, am now starting to feel the results of a whiplash! My neck feels like when you sleep on it wrong, but worse. It is more stiff and feels strained then sore. I have to rest my head every so often just to feel better. I have a chiropractor visit set up for Friday to get checked out and make sure everything is okay and to help with my stiff neck. Ellie too will get check out just make sure she is fine :)
Thursday Update: Last night I couldn't get comfortable with out straining my neck and it hurting, it would hurt to try to sit up and switch sides and any movement, such as when hubby came to bed, hurt. Needless to say I was tired come 8 o'clock, but someone has to take care of the baby! I woke up just fine and my neck feels much better than yesterday. No ibu today. But if I try laying down or sitting up, which causes neck muscles it hurts. So I just avoid that, so some of my work out today got skipped. :)
Their license plate indention on my car. lol!
cracked the bumper. No dents, just the crack and scratches
The bumper looks like it is hanging and the trunk seems to sunk down a little to me.

AH! I'm glad you guys are okay! And pediatricians are recommending that children stay rear facing until two now ... so that's my plan! Miss you guys!
