When Things Got Sexy Again

Finalllyyyy the sex is good again. 

After we had our first baby and I was cleared for sex (and maybe some extra time for me to feel up for it because six week’s isn’t always enough emotionally), it was crazy how effortlessly our sex life came back. 

We didn’t have a big conversation about things, there was no more pressure for this time to be the time that made me pregnant, and it was just so natural. 

Not only is our sex life feeling back to normal again, it’s honestly more fun. 

I feel like we’re teenagers sneaking around hiding from our parents, except instead of our parents it’s toddlers. We’re fitting it in during nap times trying not to wake the baby and doing it in the car before we go inside to the babysitter. 

Things feel like a whole new level of me owning my sexuality. I feel so powerful as a woman knowing what my body has been through, what I’m capable of, and being stronger now than ever before. 

Honestly, I feel like a fucking goddess. 

And if you don’t feel that way right now, know you’re not alone. Intimacy has been a bumpy journey full of ups and downs for me. TTC, pregnancy, postpartum, it all impacts our bodies, emotions, and ability to connect with our partner. 

Wherever you are in your journey of motherhood and your sex life, I see you. 

Having a village that knows what you’re going through, accepts right where you’re at in your story, and loves each other through motherhood is essential to our human experience. I’m honored you’re part of this village! 

🔥Hot tip: Having sex during nap time on weekends and days off together is super fun. It feels risky and secret and it’s so damn sexy!!
