Made it all day without anyone else holding baby
The title is the whole thing. Just really happy that I managed to go to the in-laws and only my husband or I held baby the whole time. I know some might think I'm over-protective (he's 8 months now), but with all the viruses going around and our NICU stay, I was over the moon that we left without him ever ending up in anyone else's arms đ it's all about the small wins đđ
ETA because people have a lot of opinions about this: we do see family and let others hold him (provided they are feeling well and vaccinated), but I never get sick of holding him, so if nobody asks (and nobody did ask today) then I will happily keep holding him the entire event. He did spend his first month on oxygen in the NICU though, so I'm also not shy about making sure we avoid viruses (we love bacterial exposure! But so many viruses mutate so fast that immunity to one cold doesn't guarantee protection from a different strain next week. Better safe than sorry for us!). I hope everyone feels empowered to make the choices that are best for their family! đ
