What I wouldn't give for 10 straight hours of sleep....<br /><br />Getting busy is also an issue because we bed share... kind of. Guy spends the first half of the night in his crib and then when he wakes up in the middle of the night (midnight-4am) I just put him in bed with us. <br /><br />A larger issue we face is the lack of spontaneity. Sex basically has to be planned now, which takes out some of the fun.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061342513632102748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-17294195573230169412011-09-02T00:02:51.525-04:002011-09-02T00:02:51.525-04:00Two glasses of wine.Two glasses of wine.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061342513632102748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-69219535451715259262011-09-01T12:53:12.740-04:002011-09-01T12:53:12.740-04:00thanks for bringing this up! we just reached the o...thanks for bringing this up! we just reached the ok-to-go point and, like kara said, i just don't really think about it or even forget about since i am so busy keeping my act together with ramona. i want to be intimate but have never felt so unsexy or tired in my life. the LAST thing i want to do, much to the chagrin of my lovely husband, is get down and dirty at the end of the day. but, as new duds mentioned, it is so important to have at least some intimacy, even if it's not up to par with pre-baby. <br /><br />all i know for now: we need to invest in some good lube.emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997512056399112658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-57866066200723859762011-08-31T23:26:04.985-04:002011-08-31T23:26:04.985-04:00Thanks for this post.

It sounds like you might be in a similar position to us and I know how frustrating things can be. If it is helpful know that, while no one really talks about it much, you are most definitely not alone.peanuthttp://www.inapeanutshell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-23999488914487251312011-08-31T05:22:33.252-04:002011-08-31T05:22:33.252-04:00i think that

Je compren...Tu m'enlèves les mots de la bouche! Je comprends complètement puisque je me trouve plus ou moins dans la même situation. J'ai tout de même l'impression que l'allaitement y est pour beaucoup (ma sage femme m'avait bien dit que d'un point de vue hormonal, l'allaitement "tue" la libido). Rajoute à cela un bébé qui dort à 30 cm de ta face et une douce odeur de couche sale émanant de la table à langer, et talaaaaa, bienvenue dans l'univers totalement asexué des jeunes parents! Pour ma part, une autre raison est que je ne me trouve pas du tout sexy, de 1 parceque tout mon être est dévoué à mon fils, et 2, parceque je n'ai pas retrouvé ma forme physique, mon "corps" avant-bébé. Ça joue aussi beaucoup...sarahttp://inthecities.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-60223552555923692542011-08-30T00:42:29.114-04:002011-08-30T00:42:29.114-04:00It's a hard time reconciling mum-you and lover...It's a hard time reconciling mum-you and lover-you, it takes a lot of patience and talking, not the same as pre baby sex for sure.<br />I also think that our body image can have a lot to do with how we can combine all the aspects of ourselves.Lilahttp://raisedbywolffs.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-10572029222728397252011-08-29T20:02:23.462-04:002011-08-29T20:02:23.462-04:00teehee, I could totally never write about anything...teehee, I could totally never write about anything like this on my blog - my mum, her friends and my aunts read it!! haha. <br />I wasn't really aware of this issue - I mean i'd heard the jokes that once you have kids it's all over - until we got given a pamphlet in our birth class. It was really just a whole lot of quotes from new mums and it made for some frightening reading! Aargh!! <br />Plenty of people have more than one child so they must have done it at least once after the birth of the first, haha.Clairsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325228052380001322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-50666647928251394152011-08-29T15:56:31.007-04:002011-08-29T15:56:31.007-04:00PS Your blog post title totally made me think of ...PS Your blog post title totally made me think of this:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTULinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03046491553565573954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-18122139927329973122011-08-29T15:54:16.189-04:002011-08-29T15:54:16.189-04:00No advice to offer really Claudia apart from it...No advice to offer really Claudia apart from it's totally normal, it just takes time.

I found great inspiration in the book Spousonomics. Basically it boils down to some sex (however unromantic and such) is better than no sex in a committed long term relationship. To take the pressure off, release the idea that it has to be an awesome mind blowing experience had by all. Even okay sex is better than nothing, its not like you don't know your partner and you can always work up to those amazing connections again. Oh and getting in a quick session before dinner/shower/at a weird time might work better than putting all the pressure on at night in bed. (I am SO glad my mom wont be reading this ;) Really the book is great, I totally recommend and I am not a self help/relationship book kinda gal.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10336627968329561063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-49709455214251259442011-08-29T14:28:19.689-04:002011-08-29T14:28:19.689-04:00sounds like the lady needs a drink! :)sounds like the lady needs a drink! :)courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133120001651100521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-27795946030954220722011-08-29T13:38:34.027-04:002011-08-29T13:38:34.027-04:00Tell me about it!

Wtf? Co-sleeping and nursing (feeling like my boobs are utilitatian devices these days) are mood-killers for sure. but it's like I just forget about sex - it's not on my mind at all, much to the dismay of my husband. Sigh.....<br />I guess talking about it at least gets it back on my mind. Thanks for braving this topic. I'm interested to hear what others think.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281505624408376985noreply@blogger.com
