Well - thanks for all the hurrahs! I was really proud of my DS - he will be a great husband someday. He seemed to grasp what needed to go on during the labor and wasn't icked out by the process at all. He WAS glad to step out for the pelvics and delivery - our family isn't quite that "earthy".
About the breastmilk issue. I nurse for a long time - at least a year but weaning before 2. Dh is bound to get a taste from time to time. Doesn't bother me and I would find it immature if it bothered him. OTOH - purposeful "nursing" by dh would weird me out. I almost always let down during sex and must wear a bra, keep a towel handy or soak dh. I have done all of the above depending on the mood.
I agree about boys being voracious nursers. My girls loved to comfort nurse. My boys go at it like it will disappear tomorrow. I forgot about the funny little grunts they make - so much like men later in life!
My body is definately sending out some "sex would be nice" signals but I have a good bit of healing to do first. I will probably be physically ready around 5 weeks or so. I usually wait almost 6 weeks and usually get revved up enough for some alternatives to sex within a few weeks.
I am feeling hopeful about the R. We'll see how things go.
