Locked out!

Yesterday I had an appointment to bring little Laney to and Connie Wilkes offered to watch Harper so that I wouldn't have to take him, nice right? She is awesome....well we were taking Harper and the car seat out to her car and like a normal person I shut my door after I walked out. When we got Harper in the car I realized that I didn't have his sippy cut so Connie waited while I ran back to the house. I got to the door and I couldn't open it! I thought for a second that the knob was stuck, but it wasn't I couldn't get it open. I started to freak out and Connie came over to see what was up, I told her that the door was locked and I didn't have a key under the mat and the key pad on the garage door was dead... So she thought about the back door which I knew was locked but we went back to check just in case and of course it was. I'm sure that you can imagine at this time I was balling my eyes out because my 2 day old baby is inside in the swing.
Thank goodness Connie hadn't left before I had gone back inside because I would have been screwed! So we called Danny and he finally answered the phone after 3 phone calls, because he isn't supposed to have a cell phone at his desk. He was able to come home but it took him 15 minutes to get back. The whole time I kept thinking how stupid am I? Not only that but I had walked outside with a towel on my head because I had just gotten out of the shower, so I looked like a retard.
When Danny unlocked the door and we walked inside she was still sound asleep in the swing and fine. Danny had to rush back to work and I had to take her to her appointment. What a scary thing to happen though. I thought that it only happened in the movies, apparently not, the movies are just re enacting what the stupid people like me are really doing.

Don't worry, you are not the only parent to do something silly like that. And Delaney wasn't traumatized in the least. Don't beat yourself up too much. You are still a good mom!
