OUr sex life was ok before baby. We did it maybe once or twice a week, sometimes even less. During pregnancy it was about two times total in the 9 month period, cuz it was the last thing on my mind. I was so worried after LO arived that our sex life would suffer. However, it has been just the opposite! We waited till 5 weeks PP to do it the first time, and since then it is about 3-4x a week. Sometimes twice in one day which hasn't happened since we first started dating! There have also been a few times after LO's 3 am feeding where we can't go back to sleep so why not?! Seeing DH with LO makes him so much more attractive to me and we feel alot closer now that we have this bond for life. I fell in love with him even more when he became a daddy. Anyone else feel the same? Or completely opposite?

He seems to want it more now! I on the other hand have WAY too many things on my mind or am too tired to care. I do it when he wants to (4 times a week) so he will shut up about it...but I only ever want to do it maybe once a week.

I feel the same way! I love seeing him with the baby. And I love when he helps me out with stuff around the house. Studies show that men that help with house work and chores get more sex. If he were to just sit on his bum and do nothing all the time I'd be too irritated with him to want him, lol. But he's great, and being a good father and husband is super sexy to me. We've always had great chemistry but since being parents together and growing so much together, I feel our bond is unbreakable and I feel so much closer to him than I could've ever imagined.
