If you're married/partnered it's hard doing it with someone else! :)<br /><br />This year my husband and I will celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary and our fourteenth year of being parents (yes, the math indicates we had our first child out of wedlock lol). <br /><br />If I may give you some reassurance...<br /><br />There is an ebb and flow to marriage, especially when children are involved. Highs, lows, middle of the road...it's constantly revolving. But to me, that's the reassuring part. Even when our marriage feels a bit stagnant, I know that in a matter of time it will be OUR time again. Even if it's just a insightful conversation on one of our coffee dates that reignites the spark, or the way we make sure that our feet are at least touching in bed, you just have to have faith that as long as the two of you are COMMITTED for the long haul, love will be there at the end of the day.<br /><br />Also, don't ever allow society make you think that "staying for the kids" during your lows is a bad thing. The kids are the best damned reason.:)<br /><br />Again, congratulations on your beautiful baby girl. She is very lucky to call you her mamma :)V.

I've started leaving notes on his windshield again and texting him first thing in the morning to say hello rather than diving right into some parenting thing. There's plenty of time in the day for us to be parents, first thing in the morning I just need to say hello.<br />undomestic mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365939971706663619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877477161057131219.post-27586174667487242892014-01-13T13:13:47.485-05:002014-01-13T13:13:47.485-05:00Alexia is ADORABLE.
I appreciate this post. I am...Alexia is ADORABLE.<br /><br />I appreciate this post. I am having trouble pumping, working, and (quite frankly) staying awake - so my marriage seems to take a backseat WAY too often. We were joking back and forth on the way to work this morning and I realized that I actually *like* my husband. Who would've thought? Lol.<br /><br />Marriage should be #1. Because happy parents are the best gift you can ever give a child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
