Different, but still good.<BR/><BR/>I think some men have a hard time with babies, but once the kids are 2 and really talking and showing their personalities, it gets easier for the men to relate to them.<BR/><BR/>My hubby and I went to Disneyworld for our 5th anniversary and we BOTH missed our kids, but we had a lot of fun too.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979925607834752536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611612.post-29357500894887347602007-03-03T22:47:00.000-05:002007-03-03T22:47:00.000-05:00I've thought that of me, to be sure, or at least a...I've thought that of me, to be sure, or at least acknowledged that there has been a lot of changes, but my husband knows better than to say it in the form of a complaint :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611612.post-5073948143062101622007-03-03T00:12:00.000-05:002007-03-03T00:12:00.000-05:00When our daughter was maybe 5 or 6 months old my h...When our daughter was maybe 5 or 6 months old my husband and I had a total giggle fit over something silly. As we settled down he turned to me and tenderly said "I've really missed you these last few months." It threw me for a loop, we'd been right there in the trenches together the whole time. After a moment I understood what he meant. I'm not 100% myself when I'm pregnant and when C was born I was on edge for a few more months. <BR/>I think he was just relieved to see me relax and let myself laugh again.Jessica R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03195009922804434161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611612.post-36274891892205088802007-03-02T23:49:00.000-05:002007-03-02T23:49:00.000-05:00Finding time to just be "us" is really hard.

Today I visited my single couin's amazing apartment in Chicago and listened to her talk about all the fun things she does. I was a little wistful. However, later that day when it came time to order pizza, I felt my "mom skills" come into play as I was able to clearly articulate what size pizzas, what kind, and how many to the group that was there.Alex Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567976812466320977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611612.post-35298532591786702142007-03-02T09:15:00.000-05:002007-03-02T09:15:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611612.post-67756652291728521632007-03-01T22:13:00.000-05:002007-03-01T22:13:00.000-05:00Oh yes.

But that doesn't have to be a bad thing - It's just different. It's been almost two years since my younger son was born and my husband and I are still adjusting and trying to find that special time to just be husband and wife. It will happen. Be patient, but be aggressive in making it happen.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01461867724392926595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611612.post-20523493370595605782007-03-01T11:22:00.000-05:002007-03-01T11:22:00.000-05:00I wonder if my hubby thinks the same thing...I wonder if my hubby thinks the same thing...Jennifer Swanepoelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412037714911643943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611612.post-67286204861197584092007-03-01T10:19:00.000-05:002007-03-01T10:19:00.000-05:00Tell him you'll be back with a vengeance!

At the end of our trip, he said something along the lines of how sad he was that the fun was over. In some ways, I was right there with him and in other ways I wanted to smack him upside the head.Amy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10192876795169234755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611612.post-68174540454139056362007-03-01T09:40:00.000-05:002007-03-01T09:40:00.000-05:00I've heard the same words from my hubby.
