Quote: Last night we attempted to be intimate and it turned into an exhausting couple of hours of awkwardness and frustration. So we're working through it. We're both aware that we want intimacy, and we're getting there slowly.
I'm a little confused about this. What exactly is the problem? I mean, you touch him, he touches you, if the equipment works, then you have sex, right? Is it the baby interrupting, or him having performance problems, or too much talking going on????
How about setting the trap a little earlier in the day. Send him a naughty email about what you want to do to him tonight. Let him cogitate on that all day. Make sure you squeeze in a shower today
Sounds like you're doing a fabulous job greeting him at the end of the day (except I didn't hear the "dressing up and putting on makeup and perfume" part in there anywhere?).
Here's how I solved my shower problem, btw. Either put the baby in the carseat and set it just outside the shower so you can watch them while you shower (even if they're wailing - you can shower quickly) - or - shower with the baby (hard to hold them when they're soapy, though, and impossible to wash your hair then).
One other thing to add to your "merchandising" when he gets home - music and candlelight. Pick upbeat music that will put you in a happy mood.
OOOOHHHH! I've got it, an idea for a new baby invention to allow moms to shower. A waterproof baby carrier with a clear "umbrella" top, so you can set the baby in the shower with you???? Not quite sure how they'd breathe, though.
