I know its hard,and it is easier to say than do{trust me i have two but if i did not do this i would only have one rite?} Make time plain and simple. It can be as easy as sneaking a shower for2 in the 2 hours the baby is sleeping, taking drive and parking some where quiet to snuggle and talk while the little darling is asleep and cozy in the back. Basically honey find those little moments and make good use of them cause they are going to be few and far between in those first few months.And remember the baby will grow and become less dependent on you so you will eventually be able to get a sitter and go out or for that matter say in

I hate to tell ya but once you have a child the romance seems to go right out the window. So do the quiet nights, unless you have a really good baby. But all of what you were used to gets replaced by happinness and joy. It will be hard at times but you just have to hang in there.

Do some intimate massages, some small candlelit dinners.. things like that. When you have children, it is a little difficult to make time for your partner, but you will find the time to do it. Most of the time it is at night after the children are in bed.
As for going out, you will need to find someone to take care of the child.
good luck

well put your child to bed earlier than usual and have an early night yourself remember you might not have a sex life for a couple 3 or 4 months after having a baby some people its more and should be when the woman is ready for sex life.
ask someone to babysit when you go out for a romantic meal or ask someone to take the baby overnight maybe a family member someone you trust.
good luck

You don't.
We have a five year old and a one week old. I am going through this phase where I feel like I have to do it all and it really stresses me out. I feel like I am not spending as much time with my five year old because before I only used to spend my time with her. Now I am taking care of the baby and up half the night so I want to sleep during the day. I feel terrible for having my husband or my mom take her to school. ( we have to walk) I feel so stressed about not being able to do all the things I used to with one child.
As far as my husband he says that I forgot about him. Because I don't want tos tay up and watch movies because I know the baby will be up in a few housrs and then I won't be able to sleep. I don't want to leave the baby with any one to go out and I don't want to take the baby because its kind of cold and I dont want her to get sick. He works during the day and when night rolls around i am in a rush to get everything done.
Sometimes I find myself rushing my five year old off to bed because I want to shower or sleep or just relax. I feel like I am taking away from her by doing this.
But everyone tells me you don't have to be super mom. Take the help people offer you because you need it. After having a baby your body goes through a lot of changes and it needs to rest. I myself try to nap and get things done while baby is napping and five year olds at school. If I rush her off to bed I say I will mak eup for it on the weekend. I need my rest too. And a hour of extra sleep for her isn't bad either.
Once baby is born you won't want to leave it. But when it comes to the point where you are ready to go out, plan ahead, get a good sitter and make time for you and your hubby. You really don't want him to feel pushed tot he side.
But he also has to be understanding. You did just have a baby and need to rest and your mothering instinct will have you put baby first.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

As far as the first one, you should be ok...just make sure you're not doing anything where if something comes up, you can't tend to it. As far as the other two, naptime (while he or she is still young...once she gets older her naptime will be your naptime too) and grandma's house.Once the baby's born, get her on a sleeping schedule and keep her on it. My sister in law did that, and her 4 month old has slept through the night since he was 3 weeks old, as has her 3 year old.
