birthday party disaster

So I went to my niece's birthday party today at the park. Just Bailey and I went since Thunder had previously made plans to go to the Stone Annual Beer Festival with some friends. I figured one afternoon out with the baby, how hard could that be? Anywho. So we get there and we're doing alright...my dad's carrying Bailey from the car to the park. About two seconds later the crying starts. I put her in the sling and try to get her to nurse/sleep. It works for like 5 minutes...maybe. I then try putting her in the stroller, which I honestly don't even know why I tried that since she's never really liked it. Anyway, so I put her in the stroller and go on a long walk thinking that might put her to sleep. That didn't work...she cried the WHOLE time. I take her out again and put her back in the sling. That works for a little while. After waking up, she's okay for a tiny bit, but then all hell breaks loose again. Back in the sling. That time she actually napped for a while, which was nice. But I swear, anytime she was awake and someone even just looked at her, her bottom lip started quivering and she just broke down. Agh! I felt so bad. My mom couldn't even hold her! It was just a really stressful day... And seriously I almost broke down in the car. I mean this was one freaking day...I can't even imagine how it'll go for one whole week when we're out in New Mexico for Thanksgiving. I guess she'll be older, but still... Anywho. Had to get that off my chest.
