Scariest Experience Ever!

Yesterday I was home by myself with the baby and I decided I wanted to go for a walk down to our garden plot and plant some flowers Daniel bought for me. I forgot to bring in the stroller from the car so I put John in the swing and ran outside as fast as I could to get the stroller. I usually don't leave him by himself but he was sound asleep and it was really windy outside and I knew I couldn't carry a baby and get a stroller out of the trunk of my car with ease. So I ran to my car and grabbed the stroller and came right back. I picked up my mail and walked back inside my house. I looked over at the swing and John wasn't there. My heart sank as I dropped everything and ran over to the swing. My first thought was that he had fallen out of the swing while I was gone, but no...my baby was no where in sight! I froze in panic and almost started screaming my head off when I heard Daniel upstairs say "Sweetie I'm home and I have the baby" I burst into tears and started sobbing and shaking uncontrollably. I grabbed John from Daniel and held on to him for dear life! What had happened was in the 45 sec. I spent grabbing the stroller from my trunk Daniel had come home for dinner on his bike from the opposite direction and we barely missed each other. When he walked into the house he saw the baby in the swing but didn't see me anywhere so he picked up the baby and walked upstairs to find me thinking I had just gone to the bathroom or was cleaning my bedroom or something. Right then I walked in the door and noticed my baby was gone. Just those few seconds from finding an empty swing to hearing Daniel's voice seemed like an eternity and were by far the most petrifying moments of my life.

So everything is fine...we're all safe and healthy but that sure takes the prize for being my scariest experience ever!!
