Usually 5-6 times a week. Right now this is exactly how much I want. I find it really keeps us both relaxed and in a good mood, so even if I don't necessarily feel like it I know if I get started I will enjoy it. Honestly nothing much has changed since having ds, except now we have fewer windows of time.
We have our weeks. Some weeks we do it every night others we go 3-4 times a week. Just depends. And we seem to be in sync to it. If I know he's tired from a long work week I will just rub his feet and go to bed. I am satisfied with our sex life
It has changed in the sense that when the mood strikes we can't just get down to business that second. We have to wait until she's napping or in bed. Also if we start the process while she's napping and then she wakes up and we hear her on the monitor it is kind of a buzz kill to keep going. We just agree to resume later- haha
Lately DH and I have both been waking up around 4am and been wide awake.. which is odd. So to get ourselves tired and sleepy again we have gotten it on at 4am the past 4 nights! hahaha. We wake up at 7:30/8 in awesome moods
We have been trying to do it at least 1 time a week...We both work full time and with DH getting up at 4am he is normally snoring on the couch shortly after DD is in bed. Real mood killer there. I would be happy with 2-3 times a week and I'm sure DH would be too . We do it less often and like pp have said just can't be like hey I'm in the mood lets go. and having to wait for DD to nap or go to bed just ruins it.

This, only J doesn't wake up insanely early (I have to wake her up to get her ready for daycare), but I am up at 5am so I can get J and I ready to leave by 6:20 so I can have her at daycare and me to work for 7am. My days are normally busy and frustrating and by the time I get home, have dinner, play with J and then put her to bed I generally pass out on the couch while snuggling with DH. We try for once or twice a week at least, but it's more like once everything week or two...which sounds awful.
There was a point when we went for multiple weeks without because DH wouldn't pay any attention to J or I when we were all together and he would zone out to TV once J was in bed. He would only turn on the charm after 11pm once we had gone to bed. That didn't fly because I'm tired and feeling lower than low because I was ignored all evening and the farthest thing from sexy.
He asked me once what he needed to do to get me "back in the mood" like I was before having J...I told him that I need for him to at least say hi to me when I come home, talk to me at dinner, ask me how I am...just have conversations. I don't want to be treated like sex is expected right at bed time like it's a chore or a job or expectation or something like that.
Things are better now, much better...in fact I'm getting more into the mood of actually wanting it again, and I know DH appreciates that as well.
I would like more because I think it really helps us stay connected. But we can't do more because we are staying with my parents still, but when we get our own place again then it will go back up.
Since LO only our spontaneity has changed. I hate only having sex in bed right before we go to sleep. In fact, I hate having sex then because it feels like a chore.
Juicy? Not much, but we keep getting "caught" by my parents or my sister coming home earlier than expected. Total mood killer.
