Scout went to church for the first time this morning. Getting ready was a little stressful because we woke up late and had to change her outfit 3 times due to spit-up.....but I'm so glad we went. The whole experience was actually a lot less nerve racking than I thought it would be. She slept in my arms almost the entire time - even through the loud music. Everyone was so happy to meet her and I didn't feel at all uneasy about people getting close to her and touching her. (I thought I would be a wreck) No one asked to hold her, but I think I would've felt fine about letting a few people hold her. I breastfed her in the nursery toward the end of the service and I felt pretty comfortable with that too. All of my silly fears were unfounded. I took a pic of her to document her 1st time at church. Camera's in the diaper bag and I'm nursing Scout - I'll post it later.

***ETA***
Here is a picture of Scout during her first trip to church:


Too bad you can't see her cute outfit, but she does have on the coolest bib in the world since she was having a particularly spitty-up kind of day.

And then we went to the church fellowship dinner this evening and I had a friend take this pic, because I don't have very many shots of momma and baby together:
