Babies on the Brain
It just occurred to me (confession)
That we have had sex twice, maybe three times, this YEAR. And it is the middle of November. WTF?! I had really bad round ligament pain during my pregnancy, and then once we got the all clear after my recovery, we tried and it was a big fat fail. I've been too intimidated to try again, and honestly with all of the pumping I've had to do since going back to work, I have zero interest since I feel like my body is simply a milk machine.
This makes me want to cry.

Re: It just occurred to me (confession)
we have had sex very very few times since McKenzie was born,
Thing 2 = May 2009, Stillborn 33weeks 4lbs 9oz 18in
Thing 3 = October 2010, 27weeks 4days 2lbs 4oz 14.25in
I feel you. We have sex maybe once or twice a month, and it's usually because we feel like we have to or we'll never do it. I honestly feel like we could go several months without having sex and neither of us would be that upset about it. He gets up at 4 for work, gets home at 5 or 6, and I've got the kids all day, so we're both exhausted by the time they're in bed. Sex just doesn't happen. We make up for it with a lot of cuddling and stuff in the evenings, but that's as far as it goes most of the time.
Add to the problem that hormonal BCP demolish my sex drive and it's a recipe for disaster.
This makes me feel so much better! We have had sex twice since Christopher was born. We tried to do date night but I couldn't even make myself get in the mood then.
::backs slowly out of post::
We did it 4 times this week (but thats only b/c we are TTC)
Well duh! No wonder MH wants to start trying again soon! lol
Oh the good ol' days when we had sex multiple times a day sometimes. ::sigh:: Maybe we'll get there again.
Umm...ya...come back after having a baby.
This this, thissity this!
Let's try this again...
SAHM to 4 kiddos... K (5/05), N (4/09), C (11/10) and Baby A 1/13/14
i know i'm late jumping on this, but wanted to add my 2 cents.
DH and I have had sex maybe 4 times since getting our BFP. and like 3 of those have been in the last month, lol. We have started making ourselves walk around in our undies at night so maybe one of us will get aroused and we'll actually feel like being intimate... it's worked some, but most nights we're still way too damn tired.
but i figure that is normal for people growing a baby or who have recently had one. All of us will eventually get back to the sex everyday stuff we had in our prime. I learned a long time ago that as long as neither one of you is really in the mood, then it isn't a big deal to not have sex. We kiss and hug everyday, but right now neither me nor DH has a sex drive to speak of, so it's not a big deal. The only time it becomes an issue is if one of the people in the relationship wants it more and is getting turned down or something, which it doesn't sound like is happeneing with any of you ladies.
