Congressman Jimmy Gomez took care of his 4-month old son during the hours-long process on Capitol Hill, and stuck to a strict feeding schedule as the hours dragged on
Armed with enough diapers, wipes, bottles and his trusty babywearing sling that allows Hodge to smile at Gomez's colleagues — the congressman says at one point Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez insisted he"give me that baby" because he's"the most gorgeous baby" — Gomez felt confident about keeping Hodge happy."The first feed at 11:00 a.m. started at 10:45 a.m. and took an extra 30 minutes. Then he had a diaper blowout," Gomez says, laughing.
Gomez's office is located in the Cannon House Office building on Capitol Hill. All the restrooms in Cannon have baby changing stations, including the men's bathrooms — a recent update to the facility, Gomez says.Gomez had planned on being on the House floor at 11:30 in the morning. At 11:55 a.m., he was just finishing the diaper change.
"We were burning time," he jokes."But I was able to take him to the floor when they started doing the roll call.
I cast my vote for Hakeem Jeffries," Gomez said, followed by applause from his Democratic colleagues.
