It's tht time again ladies. Show 'em off!

GTKY: how is your relationship with your SO since you became parents?

Here is E trying to share her sippy cup with the kitty. She also tries to share it with the puppies. Such a sweet, sweet, gross little girl.
I think it was hard for us in the beginning. I was so busy being mommy I sometimes forgot to be wifey. But now I think we are stronger than ever because we really have to work as a team to get everything done each night. Plus I just love watching him with E, it makes me fall in love with him all over again.

Trying this picture thing again, hopefully it works and isn't too big! My little man is two months old today. These were this weekend, sleeping in my arms and hanging out on his daddy's pillow Sunday morning.

DH and I still argue more than we ever have and it's all insignificant things. I know sex was, and still is, a huge issue because we had done it twice since last May and I gave in after my 6 week appointment. I know he needs that so even though it hurts and I have zero desire, I do it for him. I think as he realizes that even though I'm home all day, it's hard and I'm exhausted trying to keep up with everything in the house/baby/dealing with my incompetent substitute at work. We're getting better but the good thing is none of it ever carries over to H or interferes with his care. I also love watching DH with H, he's so sweet and cute with him!

Here she is Friday at daycare chewing on her pizza. She turned 10 months on Friday, I can't believe it!!

Things with DH were tough in the beginning when things were also difficult with LO. They have gotten better but we still fight/argue about stupid things because we are both so tired and stressed. We both have to remember better communication and I have to practice more patience. Watching him play with her usually makes everything better:)

Here is DS yesterday, exhausted after daycare! He has baby bags under his eyes

Overall, we're a happy little family. But we are both exhausted and seem to argue about little stupid things more often than we did before DS. Plus our sex life is sort of non-existent, which doesn't help. I know this too shall pass though. He is amazing with DS and couldn't be a better father. Right now, our primary focus is DS but we do need to find more time for just the two of us.

Maren looking all cutie:

Oops, I forgot to answer the question. We're not first time parents anymore so our relationship has really evolved since we had our first. I remember that we fought more than we ever have during the months after Shannon was born but once we got in a good routine and more used to our roles as parents things improved and have been pretty good since. It's hard finding time for each other, specially now that some of the kids are old enough for full-time school, homework and beginning to get involved with activities, but I think we're still doing a pretty good job.

Our kids have really brought us some great joy and so even on our toughest days, either tough job wise, relationship wise, or kid wise, all it takes is one of the kids doing something funny, or one of us holding Maren as she sleeps for us to start to feel better about things.

I couldn't pick just one this week!

E with her God Father

E cuddling her Pooh for the first time!

QOTW: Not gonna lie, DH's and my relationships is a bit rocky right now. Between still adjusting to life as parents, and us living apart until one of us finds a job closer to the other, there is a lot of hurt feelings and resentment between us. We are in no way in a troubled marriage, but there are some things we need to work through. I am confident once we get our professional lives a little more on track and settle down a bit we will be much much better.

Here is my little sleepy head sleeping in the truck this morning.

QOTW: Actually me and my DH are still as close as we were before. Less sex than before, but we are trying.

We do argue a bit more than usual, but that is related to lack of sleep, and with Hannah sleeping through the night it has decreased!!

Actually the other day we went out for dinner and didn't talk about Hannah or money the whole dinner! I was astounded!

Going through IF brought us really close together that I was determined to not let having a child negatively impact our relationship. I miss him too much if I don't get some amount of alone time with him during the week.
