We've been walking with the baby in the evenings as well and it has really helped us connect. The baby falls asleep in about two blocks and we just walk and talk int he cool evening air. It's lovely.

But I'm totally going to do the "three things" that PP with the amazing husband does!

I don't mean to be snarky but I really don't have any practical advice for you because for my husband and me, extended time out of the house (with a sitter) is just totally necessary. We can relax and reconnect in a way that we just can't do at home with all the distractions.

Can't trust

Why no sitter? Everyone can afford a sitter for two hours once a week..it's cheaper than a divorce. If you can trust a sitter to watch your child after you have out him to sleep you should seek therapy..either you have PPD or control issues..both easily fixed with cognitive therapy and meds.
