Hey ya'll, I'm Becky and I blog over at Tales of Beauty for Ashes. To read the meaning behind my blog name, go here. WARNING: That is a pretty vulnerable post SO if you want to get broken in easy, read the post below first!
I know
that Biblically 1 + 1 = 1.
The Bible says that
when a man and woman are married, they become one flesh.
But what happens when you add another to the mix? I am
speaking of when a married couple brings a new member of the family into the family.
I adore our new little
bundle of joy. I mean just look at her!
But, it HAS been difficult to adjust.
Think about it; you go from a
family of two - Going on a date anytime you want, spending a rainy day in bed, talking
for hours and hours (without help of a pacifier), spending money on frivolous things (like a
sushi dinner).
Here are some ways that we have learned to stay connected. Please
leave a comment and share any ideas you have!
- Talk, talk, talk. Talk about your thoughts. Talk about your feelings. Talk about everything.
- Go on a date. Okay, my hubby and I haven't actually done this one yet, but it's planned. This week (right, darlin?). When you go, talk about each other, don't ONLY focus on the baby.
- Flirt with each other. Look into each other's eyes, whack him on the bootie, whatever you do to flirt with each other.
- Be encouraging. What are some things that your spouse does that you like? Tell them. Do not hesitate to share the things you love about your spouse.
- Give each other some alone time. Having a little someone needing you constantly gets a little...taxing. Give each other alone time so they can feel refreshed.
What are some things you did to stay connected after baby?

I practiced my sewing
I learned about Christ being known before Creation
