When I learned of my pregnancy I was excited, but I also knew things were about to change drastically. When my son was born and we brought him home, I looked at my husband and said, “Okay, now what?” I quickly realized that there was no more watching movies together from beginning to end, and no more cuddling in bed with a breastfeeding baby in the middle. All romance gets thrown out the window, and sleep becomes top priority.
My husband and I had a lot on each on our plates, and each task took us in a direction apart from the other. Things got hard, and the friction was too much to bare. So one night we decided we needed to spend some time together, no matter how late. We waited until the kids went to bed and we would go into the living room and just talk. Catch up on how our days were, and what the kids were up to. That would also be the time if any romance were to occur.
So my advice to you would be keep a certain amount of time set out each night to spend time together. Even if it’s late, keeping a healthy relationship is more important than thirty minutes more of sleep.
