Go CARDS!!!

Today was Josie's first experience at a Cardinal game, well the first one outside of the womb. Originally, Dave and I bought a Pujols Pack of tickets with no games in July. Because we did not know when she would make her appearance. August is a different story. We are attending two games this month and one in October. And if we make the playoffs, then more are to come.

The day started really hot and muggy. We did not expect it to be this hot, notice I am in pants.

The decision was then to strip Josie down to a diaper and move seats. Dave and I knew that the very top row in the stadium had the best air flow. There is a constant breeze which helped greatly. Here she is on my lap only in the Cards bib and a diaper.

Then, she started to cry. I was feeding under a blanket and changing diapers on my lap. It was just easier to do it this way, then walking down the stairs and finding another spot.

As Josie was resting peacefully, the temperature dropped and the rain took over. Within minutes, rain was coming down...hard. In a spilt second, we had her back in her onesie and wrapped in a blanket. We were under a overhang but still did get a bit wet. I had the blanket protecting our fronts and Dave had the changing pad held up over our backs, keeping us dry from behind. This continued for about an hour. Close family time to say the least.

The game then continued, but we all knew another line of storms was coming. We watched two innings and sure enough...as we were trying to leave the rain started to pour. I took off running with the baby towards the staircase, with Dave following close behind. We had to wait out another storm. As it let up, we were able to make it to the car, but once we were safe...yes, it happened again. More rain!!

What an eventful first game for Josephine. But, they got the win, eventually. We had a blast!!
