Well, we blessed Jaxon today! And let's just say it didn't go quite like we planned.
I had borrowed the cutest little blessing outfit from my friend Steph, and I was so excited for Jax to wear it. We woke up super early this morning to try to give ourselves plenty of time to get the kids ready for church without being rushed and stressed. (9:00 a.m. church can be so early sometimes!) We had everything ready to go with time to spare, and Jax looked so handsome in his cute outfit. James and I had to take separate cars today, so he left for church while I threw a few more things in the diaper bag to head out the door. Just as I was picking Jax up to put in his seat, I hear it...."splat!" I knew that sound all too well. I cringed as I carefully turned him over to see his yellowy poo splattered all the way up the back of the blessing outfit (also through the onesie underneath). Oh, I about died! I quickly picked him up and took off the outfit, holding back the tears because I knew he wouldn't get to wear it now.
Quickly, I searched for something else. I know he doesn't technically have to wear white, but I still really want him to for his special day. I found one outfit that was mostly white and kind of churchy looking, so I put that on him. As I was again carrying him to his seat, I hear it.... "blah!" I looked down and he had thrown up (or spit up - but it was a lot) all over this outfit! I'm thinking, you have got to be kidding me!
Running very low on time now, I frantically searched for something else, but there was nothing good! I couldn't decide what to do, so I grabbed several things and just put Jax in his carseat wearing only his diaper. I left the house only five minutes before church was supposed to start, and it takes a good 15 minutes to get there! When I realized what time it was, then I really started to panic because I didn't think I would make it there in time for the blessing (normally right before the sacrament). I called James on his cell phone and told him everything. He went and arranged with the Bishop to do the blessing after the sacrament if I could make it on time for that. So off speeding away I went and I made it to the church in record time.
In the end, Jax was blessed in a simple white onesie, wrapped in a white blanket. Not what I had pictured for him, but hey, at least he was blessed, right?

What Jax was supposed to wear (taken before the poo disaster)
Here is what Jax actually wore. Nice, huh! Nothin' but the best for our little guy!

That's too bad that he didn't get to wear his outfit, but like you said - at least he got blessed! He looks so handsome in his picture. Spencer was blessed in the same outfit. Jax is sooooo cute!
I forgot to mention I made our blog private. I can't remember if I added you so send me your email address and I will send you an invite. Thanks

Haha. What a day you had! He looks so handsome in his outfit. I wish you would've taken a picture of the blow-out, THAT would have been a funny picture to go with the whole story. I wouldn't have thought of taking a picture of that either though.
Well, your blessing was beautiful and he is such an adorable little guy. I hope you start feeling better soon, Lisa!
Oh, Lisa. I'm so sorry he went through 2 outfits! I'm glad you got a photo of him in the outfit first. You never have to tell him what really happened--wait until he brings his Fiancee home for you to meet. :D I miss you!!
OH LISA!!! This is one of the saddest/ funniest blogs I've ever read! I am so sorry that happened, and yet I couldn't keep from giggling.
Satan sure didn't want him to get blessed eh? Good thing he has a mommy that knows that the blessing is more important than the cute outfit (which really was adorable).
Love you guys.
Wow! What a day! He's a cute little guy!
Oh Lisa.... I loved that story! Someday you all will laugh and laugh and laugh about this (like Greg and I!). The onsie with the blanket was acutally a pretty good plan. I can't believe what bad luck in the clothes/bodily fluids department!!! Hilarious!
Love,
Gwen
