I think I am more relaxed if my brain hasn't been on overload all day because I was just woken up lol. Although this never worked with a little one that didn't sleep through the night but my youngest (8months) does now :) But don't EVER look at the clock.. because then your brain starts working.... (not that I could without my glasses anyways...) lol <abbr><em>Candices last blog post..<a href="http://candi-corner.blogspot.com/2009/04/fo-and-updates.html" rel="nofollow">FO and updates</a></abbr></em> We have a name for waking up in the middle of the night (my fave time actually) we call it sleepy sex.

And yes, the poor man has gone back to work after lunch break without any *food* for lunch a few times, but he doesn't complain :) Sometimes I plan ahead and make him sandwiches to take back to work, but his boss must wonder why, after being home for an hour lunch, he still needs to bring something to work :) - that man can eat, eh? lol My Dear Husband is good about not trying to do it when I'm really exhausted, and I try to be that considerate for him :D (when he's working as much as possible and taking a full load of college courses, he gets pretty busy and tired, too.) <abbr><em>Lanas last blog post..<a href="http://musingsofaservantprincess.blogspot.com/2009/04/sick.html" rel="nofollow">sick :(</a></abbr></em> my fave time is nighttime, but we LOVE saturday mornings, too.

What I learned the first time is to be creative when you're getting bigger, and definitely say what isn't working or isn't comfortable. And realize that after the baby is born, it's like a whole new body again and you have to relearn what you like, but I'm pretty sure hubby will be glad to oblige. The best thing I did for myself when my firstborn was about a month old was go out to the lingerie store and buy something that was sexy that I could look at myself in the mirror in, and I didn't care what size it was. Nothing I got for my wedding shower fit, as I had inherited giant breasts from breastfeeding (TMI?), and I didn't expect to look like a movie star at four weeks postpartum. I just got something that was comfortable and fit, and gave myself permission to try things out again. And the first few attempts we made at it, I asked him to stop because I was not comfortable, and we gave it a little more time for healing and learning the new body. But within a few weeks of our first try, we were up and at 'em again. I think, though, especially after you have a baby, things can feel a bit more....medical? than sexy, so do speak up. Who wants medical in your free time? And don't forget your Kegel exercises before & after baby comes. Trust me on this one. They will help you push the baby out, and help you keep yourself together once the baby's outside! My other big tip for new moms is--empty breasts! Feed the babe, put the babe down (doesn't really matter if the crib/cradle is in your room--that's how we did it the first few months and new babes sleep solidly!) or have hubby put the babe down, take a shower so you feel like you're not covered in milk and sweat, and then pray the baby doesn't wake up and get back in the saddle! :) And don't forget to track your ovulation/use birth control unless you want Irish twins--you can get pregnant before your first postpartum period.
