my husband works overnights so he usually is not home except on Thursday nights he goes to work late 1030pm we have a cuddle time in the evening after my husband has broken his fast ( it is the month of Ramadan)

We have our toddler in the middle of us, and our 5 month old next to me agaist the wall. I do miss cuddle times with hubby, but hey after the kids are in bed the parents will play and cuddle in the office.



We have a bed set up in the office for our alone time.

I don't know if t it makes you feel any better, but my son has slept in a crib, in a different room, from day one and there still isn't much romance. ;-)

Our 3 month old daughter usually sleeps between us, but on nights when I want a little snuggling I make a point of putting her on the side of the bed (although this only works really because she's too little to roll off the bed) and then hubby and I can cuddle for a little while before we fall asleep. If I'm intent on getting some real romance (ahem ahem!) I put her in the cradle in our room after she falls asleep, and then bring her back to bed in the middle of the night after she wakes up the first time.

We only have a queen sized bed. Both our boys sleep in the bed with us. What we have found works well for us. Is letting the boys start the night off in the nursery. Then they come over later. It took a bit for them to get use to this. But now they at least sleep till 2am with out us. So it gives us some time to have together.

Ha! We do that too:)

We do this too. Our older girls have their own room and always start the night in their own beds. The baby is currently in a side-carred crib, but still likes to snuggle between mom and dad. We find lots of creative places for intimacy after the kids are asleep. But for just closeness while we sleep, when kids are between us, we usually still have our feet touching around the kids, or we hold hands above their heads. We just find ways to keep contact even when we can't snuggle directly. DH loves co-sleeping, and really enjoys cuddle time with the girls while they're being quiet. :)

There are times we need alone time and the kids aren't asleep... for those times we strap the baby into her booster seat, and leave all three of them with a movie and a snack while we sneak upstairs...

can your bed go against the wall and have her on the other side so you and hubby can still be next to each other?

Our romance is in the living room. We snuggle up together after the kids are asleep, and have our together time before bed.
