Things have always been fairly hot between my husband and me, but when our now 20-year-old son was a tiny baby, like between about two and four months old, he had colic. I was dead tired, as was my husband, because the baby was awake and crying 24/7. On the rare occasions we felt like sex, the baby would inevitably cry just as we were getting started, then my breasts would start leaking like crazy in response to the crying. That'd be the end of romance. That was a very rough time and wasn't any fun.

Fortunately, the baby got older and started sleeping more. Keeping romance and sex alive when you have a small baby is not easy. (Keeping romance and sex alive when the "baby" goes off to college in another part of the country is amazingly easy. I highly recommend it.)
