How does one with a newborn arrange this?

[Crystal]

Do Mike and I alternate days and bring baby? Do we not go at all? Do I leave Mike and baby at home? Will that work?

[Wingman]

this was last year, honey....

[Crystal]

This is annually though.

[Mayhem]

Leave Mike home definitely.

Take baby - find a younger cousin or such that can travel with and leave her with the baby. Periodic checks required. It worked for me when we toured the UK and Small Fry was 9 months old.

I'm not sure I would feel comfortable leaving a baby with Mike. Maybe if someone with a vagina was on standby...you know, someone that could handle a baby.

Leave Mike home indefinitely.

There, all better.

Indeed.

Another problem we have is money. Give me all your money!

For a nanny?
I'd do that... if I had any.

Drop baby off with Mikey's dad & mom (since your parents will likely be attending the next one too). He'll be old enough for a long weekend with the grandparents by then!

if both mike and the bairn are at home, who will change their respective diapers?

Valid point that is.

Ok, leave the baby with me. I got 3 of my own, no sweat. I'll show you the finer points about walking around a bar talking to people with a drink in one hand and baby in the other.

I think that Beer and Baby's goes together. Just like peas and carrots.
