The COVID-19 crisis: What about the babies? [unionleader.com]

 

By Shawne K. Wickham, New Hampshire Union Leader, September 12, 2020

Gabi Gilliland was halfway through her second pregnancy when COVID-19 hit New Hampshire.

Her 2-year-old daughter’s day care closed, and Gabi, youth minister at a Catholic parish in Litchfield, found herself working at home along with her husband.

Ambrose Gilliland came into this world on Aug. 1, a healthy, nearly 10-pound baby boy.

Having an infant during a pandemic has been “a huge challenge,” Gilliland said. Her parents and brother live in Trinidad, and her mom had planned to come for the birth and stay to help afterward. But Trinidad closed its borders in March for two weeks. “They’re still closed as of today,” she said.
