My 9 month old is teething so we`ve had some rough patches lately requiring more attention in the evenings, with me lying in bed with my daughter more to keep her asleep.  That and my husband and I have a million things to do in the evenings so we don't really have time to just chill together.

Tonight was the first night I managed to sneak off for a cuddle with my husband before he went to bed.  I usually sleep on a bed in my daughters room so my husband can sleep for work.  My goal is to start sleeping the first part of the night with my husband again but every time I go to do that another tooth starts to pop!

Anyways, while cuddling, my daughter woke, I went and popped her soother in and went back to my husband.  He was watching her on our new video monitor.  She was calm with the soother and slowly put herself back to sleep, staring at the video camera.

My husband watched her and commented `look at her, she looks so neglected, a tiny baby in a big bed all alone`.  It was so nice to hear from him.  He is supportive of me sleeping in her room but I know he wants me back with him, he occasionally comments on it.  But, even as she interrupts our first evening cuddle in who knows how long he was able to see/comment on how she was all alone rather than how for the first time in forever he was finally the one not alone!

That's so sweet.

DH and I try to get a snuggle in on weekends during naptime, and since DS has his own bed now, I spend at least the first several hours of the night with DH in our bed, and then I either fall asleep with DS in his bed when he wakes, or I nurse him and am right back in our bed.

Bedsharing was a major blessing for us because it allowed us to be one snugly family. I would have a lot of trouble sleeping away from DH, though I do know that this works well for a lot of families.

It can be really hard to remember to shower our SOs with affection when we're feeling touched out at the end of the day, but it's so important to them. I try to remind myself to kiss and hug DH often in the evenings, and now I'm enjoying the first part of the night in bed by ourselves.
