[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is a brief season in life with your DH in the long term. Remind your husband of that. Also remind him that these children are an extension of him, your love has grown because of it, but things may feel different for the first year because there are only 24hrs in a day, but just reassure him that there is no competition in your family with love.

Try to spend one hour a day not talking about anything with the babies, and just talk to him about other things he wants to talk about. Give him a kiss randomly when you see him. Pat his back. Baby him a little. You know your husband and his needs — and it’s not too much effort to just smile or blow him a kiss from across the room while you’re both in this together.

And try to keep your date nights. Trust the caregivers you have to care and give sufficiently in your absence. Your children will be fine.

Congrats on the baby, don’t be a martyr, don’t be a pushover, and protect the loving gestures you and your dh have built in your marriage.[/quote]
