I’m so glad to hear your 10 month old has been making out well. My wife and I are weeks away from our first. While very lucky—our close friends and family have not had serious encounters with covid, We’ve been most affected by regulations that have interrupted what would have been normal parts of a couple’s first pregnancy. I’m sorry to hear you were not allowed to be with the mom during delivery. And that you were delayed in visiting the nicu by those tests. That must have been very difficult. I remember being told I wouldn’t be able to be there with my wife for the first ultrasound. I attended via FaceTime. I was a little more accepting of the circumstances at the 28 week, but still not happy about it. One of the bigger bummers has been having no I’m person social interaction with other new parents approaching the same life stage. It’s just not the same over zoom and it feels like a pretty big miss. Always trying to keep these things in perspective. As of now I’ll be there for the birth, and really just want a good outcome after all.
