It basically happened three weeks before the pandemic really got into full swing. We saw a couple of family members, a couple of friends. But with him being premature and a newborn, we were already having to be cautious about people coming over. And then the pandemic came and all of a sudden there is a complete dead stop. It’s been really wild because I never thought my baby would be almost six months old and would still not have met his grandfather. We have friends that we consider family, who live miles down the road, who have never met our child. That’s just a crazy idea because it never was supposed to be like this
We can’t go anywhere. We can’t do anything. I just realized yesterday that in the almost six months that he’s been alive, an hour and a half is the longest I’ve been away from him. And that’s happened three times now. We’re not meant to do that as people and it makes me scared. I worry that as he gets older, will he have stranger danger? He doesn’t see other faces, is he going to be terrified every time he sees a new person because he hasn’t been introduced to other people.
