Or God forbid they have to help baby in some way... give a rectal temp or offer a baby suppository etc.  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My OH is willing to do it but he just works so much and is asleep before DD so it's been hard to coordinate the alone time. I've been doing it in the shower though. I bet its a hilarious sight :P |

My OH came at me the other night with my Biooil...when I asked him what he was planning he grinned and said "a bit of that massage you've been on about". He's like a dog with a bone...won't leave it till we've tried it that first time. I just know that it's going to tickle me though as pretty much any contact does if I don't think it's leading to sex if you know what I mean? lol So could be a case of him not being able to get anywhere near me once I start shrieking and rolling about. |
