Honestly, it's all understandable. I am going through the same sort of experience but trying hard not to ignore my bottom half, maybe only because my hormones seem to be in full gear right now. Being a mom IS crazy and has thrown me for a complete loop. Throw in that I have to sustain my relationship on top of that and I want to hide. I know it will get harder after I have this second one but I am on a path of trying to figure out myself as well.

BUT, that being said, I just recently discovered how important sex has been to let myself open up lately and really feel connected to my guy and relax just in general. Just trying to be in the moment, eyes open and experiencing it to it's fullest with him.

I guess I also know deep down inside that soon, all that sexy mama stuff is going to disappear for awhile once baby is born and I'm healing and breastfeeding starts...ugh. I didn't even want to touch down there after I had my first for a very long time! ;-)

Good luck on your trip!
