If I could have some ME time before sex time, I would be so into it. But when it comes to giving myself to yet another person after a day of working and taking care of the kids and the house, I am bitter. I always feel better afterward no matter what, though! It's just hard to get into it. I'm going to try your suggestion, because right now, we DON'T take time to reconnect. You hit the nail on the head!

I was nauseous at first, then too big, I was just not feeling it. It was so bad that my husband didn't want a second child... I'm doing better with it now, but it's still not a priority. Telling myself that this is the one and only thing HE really wants and needs helps, working on my marriage is equally as important as working on being a good Mom. Both needs to be in balance to raise a happy child! When I was pregnant with my first I really didn’t want to have sex all that much. I was nauseous at first, then too big, I was just not feeling it.

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:27:21 +0000 http://stylinmomma.com/?p=944#comment-1312 I have an 8-month-old, and honestly I've been struggling the entire 8 months with the mom/wife balance! It's hard to leave the lil' one with the sitter at night, or for any length of time since I'm nursing. The sitter pickins' are slim, so we've only done it twice. Ever. The baby shares our bedroom too, and even a creak of a floorboard will often wake her up! After the whole night routine is done, we spend about half an hour together, if that, after the baby is asleep, and we're both too tired to even talk. Working on *making* time for my marriage is one of my big resolutions for this year... Still working on the logistics though, haha!

Whether it's just a relaxing conversation, watching a movie, or cleaning the house together (haha), it keeps us somewhat connected. Of course there are the "grownup" things we do in the bedroom too, but the everyday things are just as important!

]]> Comment on When are you going to stop breastfeeding? by Jen http://stylinmomma.com/2011/10/17/when-are-you-going-to-stop-breastfeeding/comment-page-1/#comment-494 Jen Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:10:18 +0000 http://stylinmomma.com/?p=855#comment-494 I get this question all the time. When are you going to stop breastfeeding? Never (except from my crunchy mama friends) how is it going? What have been your successes/challenges? What do you love about breastfeeding. Because I COULD answer those questions. But I don't know when I'm going to stop breastfeeding. I guess the short answer is...when WE decide it's time. Thanks for putting thoughts like this "out there"...more people need to hear it!!! I get this question all the time. When are you going to stop breastfeeding?

I agree, years ago, we would have had a large group of women around us that we would have seen breastfeeding and who would be there to guide us from the second we gave birth. Since that isn't the norm anymore (at least in the US), it is sooo important to have those other supports available to us. I had a great lactation consultant, but I was unaware of other supports out there. I'm glad that I have found them now! How cool too, that you are now working to support others. <a href="http://breastfedblog.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Breastfed: A breastfeeding blog for the modern mama.</a> I love how much support is out there on the internet!

That's WONDERFUL that you are gathering resources now. I don't know where you live, but LLL has groups all over the world (www.llli.org). Maybe a NAP (Natural Approach to Parenting) group might exist near you as well. Sara – Congratulations on your pregnancy! That’s WONDERFUL that you are gathering resources now.
