Hello!
Hi, Elli!
As the mom of soon-to-be seven children, I've had to learn to make time for my husband alone, and definitely to make time for sex and intimacy with him. Occasionally, we'll send the kids to friends' homes or to my mom's while we have a weekend away or just spend the night in. This is an ideal time to relax and just enjoy eachother's company, and if it leads to sex, then that is great! I don't know how you feel about making love with your husband when your children are home, but Will and I don't mind. When you have six children (almost seven in a few days), it's too costly and cumbersome to move the kids around just so he and I can be intimate. We frequently make love after we put the kids down, but remember to lock the doors! You just have to relax and enjoy time with your husband, which can be difficult with kids around. You need to be comfortable with your sexuality, too. For instance, I can be very loud in bed (sorry if TMI), but this is what brings Will and I the greatest pleasure. Thus, I can't be afraid to scream out in ecstasy just because the kids are home...you can't hold back from your relationship just because of the children. As for conceiving, practice makes perfect, right? Just get in there and do the deed as often as possible, and I'm sure you'll fall pregnant again soon.
Good luck, Elli!
Love,
