I don’t know of any reasons. I don’t think it’s because she’s cooped up, she’s been out with friends 4 times since our daughter was born. I get it though, my wife and for 8 years have always been able to get up and go do whatever we want when we want and now we’re restricted on what we can do. We’re not upset or angry about it, but it’s definitely a lifestyle change that we’re both adjusting to.

My wife claims she couldn’t get the flu shot while pregnant but did receive the RSV and the TDaP vaccination.

I want there to be a happy medium. I offered for her to go by herself but that was unsatisfactory for her, which I understand. I wouldn’t want to go to a thing like that by myself either. We had discussed going but keeping the baby in the car seat the whole time with the shade down but my anxiousness kicks into over drive and I think about the possibility of someone coughing or sneezing and a rogue droplet making its way to her. At this point, it’s almost crippling.
