Photo Session Disaster

Well I took Gwyneth for her first professional photo shoot yesterday.  I was so excited about it, everything was going so well.  I had her appointment scheduled for noon because that's when she's typically in the best mood.  She had a nice morning nap and woke up just in time to have a bottle right before we left.  Once we got there, I gave her the rest of her bottle, just as she was finishing the last of it, I started to smell a foul odor.  No problem, I thought, perfect timing, I'll change her right before the photo session.  WRONG! I looked down in horror and saw the back of her delicate pink dress covered in mustard colored poop!  It was, dare I say, the worst "poop-spolsion" she's ever had.  It was all the way to her shoulders, I'm not exaggerating!  The photographer came to my rescue, I carefully removed the dress as I didn't want to distribute any more of the mess than necessary and she rinsed it out.  Thankfully the front was ok so we put it back on her, Whew, all better now.  NOPE!  She scream, cried, fussed, and squirmed the rest of the session.  We did everything we knew to do to get that girl to smile, or even just stop fussing for more than a few seconds at a time.  She was impossible to console.  The longer and louder she cried, the more I began to sweat, I was practically rolling on the floor in front of her trying to get just one stinkin' smile.  I finally told the photographer she had done her best and we should just leave.  Much to my surprise she was able to capture a few cute shots.  That woman is amazing.  Hopefully Gwyneth will be in a better mood next time.  Maybe I should take a Xanex before I leave. ha!  I'm not sure who needed a nap the worst by the time it was all over, me, Gwyneth or the poor photographer! :)
