Hi all,

I'm after some advice.
A good friend of mine has asked me to be her paranymph at her PhD defense (ceremonial support person, basically just need to attend the ceremony which goes for 1.5 hours. There's a few other tasks but I could keep bub with me for those)

I'd really like to do it. However, I'm due to have a baby a month or so before hand (we don't know yet when her defense will be and obviously also don't know exactly when my baby will arrive).

As for myself I think I'd be up for it a month after the birth but I'm not sure about leaving my bub.

I could leave him with my husband or mother and they could wait nearby so I'd only be gone 2 hours at most. But I don't remember that age well enough and I'm not sure how it would go.

Do any of you have any thoughts?
Particularly people with babies around that age I guess. How would you feel about leaving bub for a couple of hours?
