When people ask me what it was like to have a baby during a pandemic, I have an easy answer and a hard answer.
The easy answer goes, “It was tough laboring and pushing in a mask. I’m grateful that the nurses let me take it off a lot.”
The hard answer is more complicated. It goes something like, “I feel like we had to skip parts.”
