From the filter label savvy readers will assume this is about my sex life. They would be right. Which is to say: holy crap I have a sex life again.
So, who was wondering how long it would take us to resume having sex? I was. We sorta tried a week ago and it was a resoundingly unsuccessful attempt. It hurt so bad it made me cry and Shanna woke up screaming just a couple of minutes into it. So I don’t count that.
Which means that it took us four weeks. Things are not completely back to normal in that department, but given that I’ve been thinking about it and Noah has been exceptionally patient I figured it was time to get back on that particular horse. I would say we took it slow, but we didn’t. Heh. We don’t have time for slow, leisurely love making at this point. Shanna’s sleep schedule is still very unpredictable. I did manage to get her to sleep lying on her own. I did it by breaking one of those rules they hand down from on high about parenting: Thou Shalt Not Lie Thy Baby On Her Stomach To Sleep. But but… she won’t go to sleep on her back! So fuck ’em. She’s sleeping great on her tummy right now and they (whoever ‘they’ are) can kiss my ass.
I’m rambling. Sex! It happened! It required periodic renegotiations mid-way, things like “Pull out, I need more lube” “Oh my god stop putting so my pressure on my perineum” and “I can’t bend that way right now”. I call that a roaring success. I came; he came. That was the goal and so despite it not being the most earth shattering of sex it’s a beginning. w00t.
yay!
Woooottt!!!!
I had faith in the both of you … 😉
Woot woot!!
yay 🙂
Dave Allen had a joke about that.
A new father paces nervously up and down a maternity ward as another gentleman calmly reads a book.
“Is this your first child?” says the new father.
“No, it’s my ninth.”
“Oh. It’s my first one.”
“Yes, I can see that.”
The young father considers a moment longer, then says, “Clearly you’re a man of some experience, I wonder if you could help me with a question that’s been on my mind.”
“Certainly.”
“Well, I was wondering, how soon after the baby is, er, born, is one supposed to wait until… Can we, as man and wife, get… Is it, erm, medically possible for us to, uh…?”
“May one infer,” interrupted the older father, “that you wish to know how soon after birth one may have sex with one’s wife?”
“Er, uh, yes, that’s, that’s, erm, exactly what I…”
“Well, it all depends on whether she’s in a public ward or a private ward.”
We aren’t *that* friendly. 😉
