Our lil family has been home for a week now and we have settled in to our newborn-quarantine-life consisting of changing diapers, feeding baby Jake, sleeping, chilling, and then doing it all again, and again, and again. It’s kinda fun. It’s kinda like Groundhogs day. It’s kinda like what having a newborn is like whether there’s a global pandemic or not. That is, except for the fact that in the real world Jake has a huge family. In the Corona world, however, we are a family of 3. One could argue that video chat is the 4th member of our family. Maybe it’s because everyone is home quarantining themselves, or maybe it’s just because Jake is so super loved, but my Jake, may in fact, be the most connected 1 week old this world has ever seen. On any given day, he gets serenaded by Aunt Mollie and her Eukalalee. He plays Zoom family game night. He loves a good girl hang with mommy’s friends. He has video check ups with Dr. Grandpa and Dr Auntie Devo. And he even had 200+ of his nearest and dearest attend his virtual Bris. I know...ridic. If we were not living in the time of Corona, we would have circumcised our boy at a Bris 8 days after he was born. Instead, for obvious reasons, we had him circumcised in the hospital. This left the question of what about The Bris? For those who don’t know, a Bris is a ceremony performed on the 8th day of a baby boy’s life, entering him into Judaism. We decided to do a Bris via Zoom. I was hesitant at first, but I also didn’t want my boy to miss out on this life milestone. The outcome was greater than I could have ever imagined. My husband welcomed everyone and did an amazing job of capturing exactly what we were feeling. “It’s hard to put into words what it’s like having a baby during the coronavirus pandemic.” He said “But -- it has really enabled us to put this whole thing into perspective. As many of you know, Steph delivered Baby G without me there. He has not yet met his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins or any of you. He is however -- here. He is healthy. And, he is everything we’ve been wishing for. Link in bio for full article ✨@herviewfromhome ✨

What It’s Like To Be Pregnant In The Coronavirus Pandemic - @refinery29 ❤️ Link in bio for full article ❤️ @murphanity Gandelman, the owner of 6th Borough Boutique, discovered she was pregnant in July, after trying for three years. During that time, she underwent four rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF) — and miscarried three times. Her due date was originally April 3rd, but she induced labor on March 27. "My original birth plan was to go full-term, and deliver at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhattan with my husband, mom, sister, and sister-in-law all in the room with me for support. But things changed as the COVID-19 pandemic hit the tristate area hard. I decided to get induced a week early, on March 27, when I was 39 weeks pregnant. I was fearful that if I waited, the hospital would be overrun with more coronavirus cases, and I was worried I might contract it there. I decided I wanted to get it done as soon as possible without endangering the pregnancy. On the date of my delivery, no support person was allowed in the room for labor, or for visiting afterwards due to social distancing rules set in place by the hospital to limit exposure. As sad as I was that my husband couldn’t be there with me, I definitely understood and respected the hard decision that the medical team had to make for the safety of its patients and staff alike. After everything we’ve gone through to get here, my mindset was basically: As long as our baby is okay, nothing else really matters. As such, my plan B became my reality, and I gave birth while my husband watched via Zoom conference. Surreal, I know. For the 48 hours my baby and I were in the hospital, we were FaceTiming. I found his “virtual” support to be much more comforting than I initially thought it could be. It obviously wasn't the same as having him next to me, but I felt him in spirit. During labor, he was blowing me kisses every time I looked at him and waved. Literally, one day after I gave birth, Governor Cuomo put out an executive order that allowed a partner in the delivery room. I honestly laughed when I saw this. I’m just so happy that my little guy is okay, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. My husband agrees.
