DC2 is due in September and my best friend is getting married the middle of October. I've already said that sadly I won't be able to be involved much in the wedding (hen night, being a bridesmaid, etc) due to being heavily pregnant but that I'd love to be at the wedding (we've been friends since childhood, so I'd be pretty gutted to miss it!) She'd love for me to be there too and we've agreed that my DH will take the baby into another room for the actual ceremony so she doesn't have to worry about a newborn kicking off halfway through her vows (DH is fine with this and the actual ceremony will only be about 20 minutes). I'm hoping to stay for the reception or if not, the ceremony and the meal at least, and I'm going to take my stretchy wrap for keeping the baby with me. All going well, I'm planning on breastfeeding, so leaving the baby at home isn't really an option.
However, I'm worried in case I'm being a bit unrealistic about how easy it'll be to be out and about for a large chunk of the day at a wedding with a newborn? Or do you think if I'm prepared enough it'll be ok? Baby will be three weeks old at this point (I'm having an ELCS so that's fairly set) but DH will be with me all day to help out. I feel like I've forgotten what it's like to have a newborn!

To think I can take a three week old baby to a wedding?
