This pretty much sums up the day we first went to church with all 3 kids...
Okay, so I guess it wasn't that bad... but I definitely felt like a bit of a circus act.
To start off Hudson decided he needed to go the bathroom before the sacrament, and I didn't feel like telling my 3-year-old to 'hold it' and risk an accident. Since Abe and I each had a baby and I was closest to the aisle I took him out (with Olivia). We got back to the foyer right as the deacon got around to the last person with the bread...I thought he saw me coming up as I gestured to him, but he walked right back into the chapel. I followed him, trying to quietly get his attention, but no such luck. I went over to try and get another deacon's attention without making too much of a show...nothing. Luckily, one of my friends in the ward saw me and was able to get someone's attention for me.
So Hudson and Olivia and I are in the foyer waiting for the sacrament to be done when Hudson decides he needs to go #2... I am not quite sure how to hold a newborn and wipe another kids butt at the same time...luckily, my friend Alyse happened to be right there so I passed off Olivia and took Hudson to the bathroom for the second time.
After that, we went back into the chapel, but not for long. It was feeding time. I took Olivia to the mother's lounge first. When she was done I walked back into the chapel to trade babies with Abe... where did he go?? I walked in one door, straight across, and out the other to the opposite foyer. There's Abe and Hudson and Ella. Apparently, Ella got a little fussy, but Abe accidentally dropped her binky which rolled under the benches and Hudson decided to crawl around asking if anyone had seen his sister's binky. So Abe, Hudson, and Olivia stayed in the foyer while I took Ella to the mother's lounge for her turn. After we were done, sacrament was over and it was time for us to go home. Needless to say I was a little tired and was grateful we had decided to only stay for sacrament meeting.
