cloudy with a chance of poop.

i'm getting a little more adventurous with taking maria out or maybe i'm just getting a little bored at being alone with her all day. last night i made plans for today to meet another new mom (we met at birthing class) at target. shopping and coffee and gabbing. i was really excited about the whole thing. maria, daisy and i have been going for a walk every morning around 9-ish. so i made plans to meet up with ashley/ evie sometime between 10-11am.

maria slept the entire night and woke up at 6am. i nursed her and then we both went back to sleep until a little after 8am. i got up, chris took care of maria and i took a shower, ate breakfast, unloaded the dishwasher and picked up around the house. i took over maria and chris got ready for work and then left. it started raining so our morning walk was called off. i made out a list of things to get at target, played with maria a little and then got packed up to go. it was still raining a little when i left but not too bad. i got a pretty decent parking spot, got in the store and started getting things off the list. then the poop hit the fan.

i was almost ready to check out but maria had a big poop explosion and then ashley called and said she was there but had been rear ended while turning into the parking lot! that really freaked me out- being in an accident with a baby. i told her i was almost done but i needed to handle the poop diaper then i would meet her in the parking lot to make sure she was ok. i really like target, the bathroom wasn't too bad but the koala changing table is located in a corner so it makes changing a baby really awkward- plus there really isn't any place to put the car seat/ diaper bag other than the ground. maria had a total meltdown while i was changing her diaper. she cried all the way out of the store, across the parking lot, and at the scene of the accident. ashley was finishing up with the cop on the police report when i got there. it started raining again. she decided she still wanted to go inside so she could make some calls. evie appeared ok and the accident wasn't too bad. we met up inside target at starbucks and we got to talk for a little bit- mostly about car wrecks and what to do. ashley got an appointment to get evie checked out- she let me know later on that she was ok.

when i got home maria had a big pee accident on the changing table- making this the 3rd clothing change. 2 more big poops and clothing changes (from maria) rounded out the rest of my afternoon. today wasn't exactly the fun filled day i thought it would. dinner kind of sucked tonight so we went to amy's ice cream for a nice dessert. i think my lactose intolerance is returning- i will leave it at that.

and hey- guess what? it's raining- again.
