Sex-dar


Twice this weekend husband and I have tried to have sex only to be interrupted by LM waking from a deep sleep to kill all sexual desires. How does she know??? It's like she has sex-dar or something.

Update on Operation Sleep Dammit: 1. Implementation of an 8:30 bedtime has been successful.
2. LM will now allow Husband to put her to bed which is a great relief for me because it allows us to take turns instead of being the only person who can deal with the baby.
3. Unfortunately our attempt to make LM sleep through the night are still struggling. She wakes up every 2 hours like clockwork and while we can get her back to sleep without eating I am starting to wonder if it is worth it. Was I getting more sleep when we were co-sleeping? Wasn't the whole point of this to make a better sleeping environment for myself? Ugh!!

My mother is coming on Friday and hopefully she can help us with the evil sleep demon. LM is also becoming less enamored with her stroller (which she used to love) and therefore we end up carrying her in the sling a lot more. Also, she has become more whiny and.....a, uh, what's the word for it....oh yeah, she's a pain in the ass. Good thing she is cute otherwise I would return her (that and we lost the receipt). Her new favorite toys are empty plastic water bottles and crumpled up pieces of paper. Why do we spend money on toys again?

Sometime I wonder why people have children and then LM does something f-ing adorable and I remember. Although the sex-dar thing has got to stop. If she is going to wake me up every 2 hours the least she could do is let me get laid ever now and then.
