Update on our crazy day from last week

I set another personal record today. I am 34 weeks and the twins are still safe and sound in my belly!!! In case you didn't know - I had Jacob right at 34 weeks.

I haven't had any more contractions like I did last Wednesday, but I am also taking medication to keep contractions at bay. Yesterday both babies measured to weigh about 4.9 pounds and Baby Boy B is still pretty stubborn and head up. The bigger these guys get, the less likely I think it is for him to turn. The good news is that I am still only dilated 1cm. So despite how uncomfortable I might be, hopefully we have at least 2 more weeks before the babies decide to make an appearance. Big huge thanks to our family who helps us out so that I can take it easy and just grow these babies!

I've had a few people ask about what the ENT said about Jacob's hearing. Apparently he hears fine, although his ear drum doesn't vibrate as much as it should - it isn't anything that should cause him to have hearing problems. So his hearing is not why he doesn't say any words yet. Not that he doesn't talk. He talks a lot - it just isn't a language that we understand.

Now for the frustrating part of the update.

We are still in limbo after the accident from last week. I'll attempt to make a long story short.

We got the impression that the guy driving the other car was avoiding talking to his insurance company (Farmers). Well, today we learned that as of now they are considering no one at fault for the accident. The other guy told the lady handling our claim in his statement yesterday that he stopped at the intersection (although he didn't), so it is currently Justin's word against his. It takes 7-10 days after an accident before the police report is available, so we are just hoping and praying that the report says he was at fault because he failed to stop. In fact, when we had our minor fender bender in December the police that came to the scene said that any time an accident occurs, if a report is written they have to assign fault and issue a ticket. Justin didn't receive a ticket so we are assuming this other guy did and that will be that.

We aren't sure what he thinks he is achieving by lying to the insurance company since the police report should support Justin. But in the meantime it is super frustrating to us. We know we can go through our own insurance to get the ball rolling while we wait for the police report, in fact we have already talked to our company about everything but the truth is it really just complicates things. Things like the type of rental vehicle we really need will cost more than what we had elected on our insurance. It would be fine for us to pay the difference (for now) as long as we were certain that the police report supports Justin and we would be reimbursed, but to be honest we have no idea what is in the police report.

The whole thing is just super frustrating/aggravating right now and it makes me wonder why people feel the need to lie. In fact, the lady at Farmers let Justin know (in a round about way) that she doesn't believe the other guy's statement. She told Justin that at the end of the statement before turning off the recording device she asks if everything they said in their statement was true. The guy didn't answer and everything was silent. After a certain amount of time had passed and he hadn't said anything she asked if he was still there and he replied that he was. So she asked again if he was truthful in his statement. After another slight pause he said yes.

Maybe he does have a guilty conscience about lying?
