Oh the joys of parenthood!

Since the weather was yucky today, after Owen's appointment, we headed to the mall for some lunch and a walk. We also made a stop by the library! It was imagined to be a day of fun times and enjoyment! However, the afternoon didn't quite go as planned. It all started with waking him for his doctor's appointment. He was in the middle of a sound sleep...so packing him up and taking to see some lady who poked and prodded him while he was completely naked, wasn't exactly his idea of fun! Then...once we got to the mall it was bottle time. We quickly realized as milk streamed down his face and neck, that we packed the wrong nipple for his bottle, so his feeding was a bit rough. After the horrible feeding, I took him to the bathroom to change him and refresh his outfit because of all the formula, this is when he unloaded the motherload of all dirty diapers on me! He was messy to begin with...but once the diaper came off...the mess continued coming! It seriously was everywhere. I kept praying that some girl toying with the idea of having a baby would NOT come strolling into the bathroom and see our giant mess and decide...nope...no babies for me! Not only did we ruin two perfectly clean diapers, we completely destroyed his diaper changing mat, the onesie he was wearing and he screamed the entire time...which is just what I would have done! Poor little guy! I finally got him cleaned up, took him out to Dad to soothe him and then finished cleaning up my mess. I had to wipe down the diaper deck in the bathroom, wipe down the changing mat, stash as much of the messy diapers and wipes into the green deoderant trash bags as I could fit...then clean myself up! Owen, you did a number on your Mom today to say the least!
