three mile island and chernobyl ain't nuthin'

i don't even know how to describe today. before maria was born chris and i had such a quiet, calm existence and we didn't have to change clothes more than 2 times a day. today we both went through multiple changes and maria went through the most- currently she is at 4 changes.

yesterday i placed an order to have 2 yards of crushed granite and 3 yards of mulch delivered for sometime today. that sometime this morning shortly after 9am- just when chris had gotten into the shower, i had just gotten started with pumping and bonnie had maria in the living room feeding her a bottle. let me preface this by adding that when the dirt company called and left a message my cell phone would not let me retrieve that message. fortunately i got the cars out of the garage and parked on the street so they wouldn't be blocked in by 2 big piles of dirt.

after the dirt delivery, maria was fed and playful and super cute. bonnie and i gave her a bath and she was still super cute. then i got her dressed. all hell broke loose. i think some of her outfits are possessed. some cause diaper leakage, other cause spit up and this one little dress causes total level 10 meltdown, full on conniption fit. i have managed to identify all possessed outfits today.

 after i got her changed and calmed down, she went through her little feeding/ catnap stage until she took a long nap in the afternoon. she was all smiles when chris got home. she was cute, playful, we fed her and then there was a total blowout poop/ pee diaper. this made her upset, chris had to change clothes and we all questioned how so much could come out of something so little. after things got settled down (again) chris placed a to go order from chuy's. this gave us about 20 minutes to start some yard work. we got 3 shovel fulls of dirt down when we decided we needed more prep work for the area around the garden. chris weed whacked out as much grass as he could and i got the weed block tarp better situated. our neighbors came by to see maria so we took a little break. maria started to have a meltdown and they handed her back to me. she sort of calmed down a little and when they were leaving i turned her around because my shirt felt wet. i thought she had spit up a little. chris thought is was pee. if you said it was poo and then said all of the above- you'd be correct. chris left to pick up dinner after i got her cleaned up and changed and me cleaned up and changed.

we all sat down at the table to eat. chris was so happy to see his dinner completely covered in cheese after he specifically requested for no cheese on anything. i was being sarcastic on that statement- he limited his meltdown because his mom is here. i called chuy's and got the order corrected and went and picked it up. it was well after dark by the time we all got to eat. my plan to get half of the crushed granite in place tonight was totally shot- enter my meltdown.

right now maria is sleeping peacefully in her little "diableta" onesie. i'm just waiting for whatever it going to happen next. . .
