Lost 😪

My husband has had a cough/stuffy nose the last few days and so I haven't been going to see our son in nicu as we don't want to risk anything (for him or the other babies) At first I thought it would only be a day or two at most but now its been 5 days where I haven't gone and it's absolutely killing me 😭 I call the nicu every day, multiple times a day to check how he's doing ect but it's not the same as all I want to do is be there and hold him, even just hold his hand 😩 feel like he's going to have changed so much since I last saw him. I've been going everyday since he was born (nearly 8 weeks ago) 😭

(Not in a mean way but) Husband says "we knew this could be a possibility" (that one of us would get ill and not be able to see him) but that doesnt mean it doesnt hurt 😩 I was crying most of last night when I realised today would be another day without seeing him and my husband literally said "why are you crying" 😭 i don't understand how I could possibly not crying about being so far away from our baby 💔 men just process things so differently 😩
