No, I don't have it but because of all the fears our hospital is not allowing children under 16 as visitors!  I have been telling Lilly for months how her nanny will bring her to the hospital to see mom and she has her big sister shirt and gift all ready for the baby.  I get none of that-no family pictures in the hospital on my bed-none of that.  I am heartbroken.  Do I just go home early?  I called the hospital and this is what many are doing.  Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water!!!!  Try to deliver at a birthing center?  I'm high risk for the love of Pete but this just makes me so sad.

Oh Kari, I am sorry.  I would be disappointed as well.  I don't know what to tell you!  I can understand their precaution, but then wonder why 16 is a magic age for a cutoff - seems so arbitrary!

(((hugs)))

Oh Kari... I'm so sorry!!!  I'm assuming it doesn't matter if someone has been vaccinated or not?  That just sucks!!!

I am so sorry, Kari!  I understand the hospital concerns but don't they realize how important this day is for the big sisters/brothers too.

That is what I think too-I have not seen anything that a 16 yo is less likely to have this than a 2 yo!  I called my neighbor who is a L&D nurse and she is looking into the vaccine exception for me.  Again, I'm a PAL!  I have waited for these moments for years and thought I would never have two children,a nd now I finally get there and maybe Lilly can be outside the window (literally outside) and see.  Yeah, not what I had pictured.  I realzie there might be more extreme situations-like what if you parent was in ICU or dying and you were 15-what?  Can you not go say goodbye?  Could they not just offer masks and encourage hand washing? 

Again, I'm just sad.  Now I am hoping I go a couple more weeks and they have a little better process down.  RIght now from what I have heard it is chaos at the hospital, especially in L&D.
