Marriage & Relationships

What kind of hour does your husband work? How can you have no time with eachother? I am a SAHM, have a 16 month girl, and I run an In Home Daycare, and still have time with my hubby that works two full time jobs. My suggestion is that you have a set date night. This new baby is going to come, and you are going to need his help. Take even the bath time with your son as a few min to sit and chat. My hubby and I sit beside the tub and we blow bubbles, and play with our daughter. That is a special time between us. My hubby and I go for walks. We usually take outr daughter with us every time we go out, but we still have "US" time when she goes to bed, and nap, ect.....
How does your husband feel? Take showers together. Snuggle, and just lay with eacother.

I have been there. When I was a stay at home mom my husband worked 2 jobs so we only saw each other when we was asleep. I would suggest cutting out some time for just you too. When the baby goes to bed sit down adn talk or watch tv together. If you have some one who will watch your son go out on a date. My husbnad and I do this occasionally. We would like to be able to go out once a month but its more like once every 3 months. Maybe getting a babysitter. See if any neighbors have a teenage daughter who wants some extra money one night a week, if you feel comfortable with that. I know what its like when money is tight and you cant do that. Thats why we usually end up going out once every 3 months. LOL we save a little here and there to be able to do that. a couple of dollars a week eventually adds up. Its just a suggestion.

What we were told before we left the hospital by a nurse was that you need to take time for each other. Take a walk or snuggling does the trick but what she told us to make a date night. Our first was like an hour long but the deal is that you cant talk about the baby. We pretend that it is a first date. We talk about silly stuff and then joke about if we should kiss at the end of the date. Its fun!

I am a stay at home mom also with 3 kids- and 2 step kids - I don't know what your schedule is or what hours your husband works so it might be a little tough but try to maybe set your son's bedtime a little earlier than when you and your husband go to bed so you and him can have that alone time that is much needed after a long day. It's not easy with a 1 yr old and a baby on the way but hang in there it will get easier- trust me I've been there

It will be tough while the kids are little. Hang in there, make the most of the moments you do have and also try to find time for YOURSELF so that when you do have time together it doesn't feel like just another obligation. Find someone to trade babysitting with even if it is just one hour per week for you and one hour per week for you both as a couple. Or while your child is sleeping. Commit to that time. A friend told me by the time your youngest is 5 you get more of a manageable life back. The first 2 years are rough but that is why the little ones are so darn cute!

I watched a show that said you have to plan. It is on I believe Comcast ondemand sex and relationships then busy parent. I have the same situ. same age just three kids instead of one and a half.
