at about 6 weeks out I had to go to a cycling function for my husband... i knew that there would be a LOT of people there and it would be loud... I started with earplugs and tried to stay in one place therefore only talking to people who came to me and normally one person at a time. Helped a little... still only lasted about 1.5 hrs..

I wonder if you could claim the baby... as the baby sleeps people around you will have to be quiet so they do not wake the baby... and if you need a nap, nothing makes a better picture than a dad and baby napping together... I know I have pictures of my dad and all us kids as well as all my cousins.. he likes his naps!
