Bringing It Back After Baby

My Little Gator is now 10 and a half weeks old.  Time has flown!  I can't believe he's already two and a half months old.  Last Friday, he rolled over for the first time.  He's been gracing us with smiles and is starting to giggle.  I love watching babies grow.

But it's been a while since I've written anything on relationships.  Life gets busy and sometimes, unfortunately, they get pushed to the back burner.  I will be completely honest and say that for the last 9 months I have felt anything but sexy.  Seriously, who thinks the frazzled, exhausted, pregnant (or new mother of two) is sexy?!  We live in a college town and there are a plethora of young college co-eds with their skinny, pre-baby figures that would make anyone a little self-conscious.  Then there's me... and the days that I'm lucky if I brush my hair, let alone shower and put on make-up.  Not sexy, right?  Even a little "EEK"!

We've still been having date night, but they have been mildly mediocre, to say the least.  Last Friday, date night consisted of a thirty-minute trip to UPS where I sat in the car alone while my handsome hubby waited for them to track down a package and then we made a disappointing trip to a local Chinese buffet and we ended the evening with a screaming infant.  It was a little depressing and definitely not romantic.  I decided that we aren't going to have these mediocre dates anymore.  At least, not if I can help it.

But here's my problem.  It can be really hard to be romantic when you're running on 5-6 hours of less than stellar sleep and spend all day fussing at your two year old for not listening and changing diaper after diaper after diaper... Real romantic, right?  {Best run-on sentence ever, right?  I'll blame it on the terrible sleep.}

I decided to overlook my post-baby body and open up a drawer that hasn't been opened in about 8 months: the lingerie drawer.  Date night is the time I have to reconnect with my husband and intimacy is a huge part of any good and healthy relationship, but it's been hard to get past my "new mom body".

Do you need a little inspiration to spice up the romance in your life?  Well, let EdenFantasys help you out!  They have everything you might need to have a super sizzling night with your sweetie.  Their lingerie selection is fabulous and affordable.  There are lots of styles to choose from and sizes for every body type and shape. Need a little pampering before your hot date?  Check out the selection of beauty and body products they have available.  You'll find everything from make-up and fragrances to massage kits.  Feeling really rambunctious and risque?  Splurge on a new sex toy to kick that smoldering passion into "too hot to handle" territory.  The couples that play together, stay together.

We will be trying harder to bring more sizzle back into our relationship.  The best homes are ones where mom and dad remember why they got together in the first place.  Marriage isn't easy, and it's not supposed to be.  It is always worth a little effort to keep your love alive - everyone will be happier.  The last few months have kind of felt like we're just a bunch of people living in the same house.  I want my husband to know that I am still attracted to him, I still want him.  And I want my kids to know that I love their father and am totally committed to our family.
