Stuck...

Ryan and I drove up to Woodburn about a week ago. He needed boots and I needed new black shoes. So, we get up there, do our shopping and Ryan was so good! He got froggy boots, which he has scarcely taken off since we bought them!
Well, right as we started heading to the car to go home, it started to rain. Hard. It was absolutely freezing and I just went as fast as I could with the stroller. We got to the car and I just put Ryan in the backseat without strapping him in and put our bags in the trunk.
Ryan doesn't fit very well into his carseat with his big coat on, and it was so cold, that I opted to get in the other side of the backseat and strap him in from there. I get his coat off, buckle him in and try to open the door to get out.
Locked.
Yep...those child safety locks that we have on the back doors, so the kiddos can't open them, had locked me in!
Pretty much, my only option was too climb over the seat into the front. Can I just say how glad I was to only be 18 weeks pregnant? Imagine being in that predicament three months down the road!
I have learned my lesson though--no more backseat sitting for me, unless I leave the door open!

Complaining...

Anyone else ever feel like they are a huge whiner?? I have so much to be thankful for, but I see myself constantly focusing on the negatives. To be completely honest, my job is very frustrating to me right now. I am trusting that I am in the place where God wants me, even if it is not where I would like to be and just wonder how long I'm going to stay there?
Also, there are just some uncertainties in my life right now, and they will probably stay that way for quite awhile. I have a huge issue with loose ends and not knowing. I know that God will provide the answers and I need to get on my knees about these things, instead of trying to figure it out myself!

Okay--enough of the complaining! Baby started kicking this week! Not just moving, kicking! I didn't feel Ryan until WAY later than this, so it is exciting to feel those little kicks. (Ha, just got another one!)
Big ultrasound is in a week--I'm absolutely dying to know!! Ryan will tell you, "God already knows if our baby is a boy or girl." I know that God is going to give us whatever is right for our family--but I'm getting impatient!

The Doctor is In!

After a lot of discussions on the topic of dressing up, I finally got Ryan excited to wear his costume! (I did mention that if he wore it, he could knock on doors and get candy!) He loved wearing his costume and LOVED trick or treating! It was a fun night and I'm so glad he had such a good time!

Pumpkin Patch

Okay--we went to the pumpkin patch about a week ago and had a blast! Ryan even wanted to go on a horse! (It only lasted one trip around the ring, but that is a big deal for a VERY non-adventurous child!) Of course, he didn't stay on it long enough to get any good pictures! But, we had so much fun getting our pumpkins, going through the maze and Ryan LOVED the bluegrass band!
