no. not me. RM.
i guess i should have expected something like this when i found out i was going to have a son. but i would have expected it at 17, 18, or 21... not 4 months.
Floyd, RM and i planned a lovely evening downtown... walking the bridge, dinner at Chicora Alley, and a stop by the new gelato place. Sounds swell, and family friendly? We thought so too. Until halfway through this family date, when a low vibration rolled on my lap... and in the seat of RM's corduroys. We were of course, at Chicora. And while this fine eating (and mostly drinking) establishment has many things, it DOES NOT have a Koala Care changing station in the bathroom. Nor does it have a large countertop. But it does have a 18" diameter three legged table... just enough space to wrestle a four month old with an exploding diaper. Trouble is, his onsie and corduroys are a yellow disaster. And while i "saved" the fleece hoodie, i also conveniently left it at the table in the bar area where Floyd still remained.
So when i do emerge from the ladies' room with a topless, rolly-polly infant, everyone at the bar managed to turn on their stools muttering about the half-dressed baby and his ne'er-do-well bar-hopping parents. Hence, our shirtless in a bar experience.
ps - don't worry, it's a smoke free bar.
pps - Schelijn, i think that JG's corduroys are going to make a full recovery.

Ah, how well I know those looks when I was in a bar in SC when 8 months pregnant with JG. You would have thought I was ordering FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) at the bar, even though all I asked for was water. Phew, thanks for the reassurance on JG's cords. I was picturing baby girl in poop-stained corduroys. :)
That is too funny. Everyone was probably thinking "wow, does that kid deserve to win Best-Bod '08, or what?". Don't feel bad about having a baby in a bar...Tim and I took Anna to this place that had half-naked girls serving drinks. It was a little weird, but babies have short memories, right?
wow! kismet!
And that's only the first part of the problem. After all, bars are not really used to having to dispose of such 'normal' yellow packages, are they! What ever did you do at that point, I wonder?
