Re: Kind of OT: feeling disconnected from husband

You are still in the VERY early stages of a radical life change. Don't
be too hard on yourself and don't assume that much that you're feeling
now is permanent. What I remember from those days is that everything I
was feeling was valid, but maybe magnified a bit too much. Things will
calm down and you'll find a new "normal" for your marriage. (And it's
worth making sure that that new normal is one you're going to be happy
with by *actively* creating opportunities to talk and have fun and
have sex. That "you and him" stuff can get lost in the shuffle,
especially if you go back to work or have more kids at some point.)

I remember feeling so sad that clearly the thing my husband and I had
was over. Yeh, it was over, but something very similar soon replaced
it -- not that I was aware of it happening at the time. I'm sure that
in another couple of months you will be more "settled in" to life as a
mother. Your baby may still be the no. 1 thing on your mind then, but
you probably won't spend every iota of your waking thoughts and
feelings on him. You'll "look up" and rediscover the world, including
your husband.
