What is me time? Honestly, it's really hard for me. I started doing workout dvds for myself and that is one thing that I do for myself and I have to stop a million times when I do it with the kids home. But I keep trying.
Sometimes I just have to tell dh, I'm going out with a friend or for a walk or take a shower. The boys are yours for a little while. He isn't going to volunteer so I just have to do it.
Dh and I don't get date nights much. Sometimes after the boys go to bed we might watch a movie. All of our family lives out of state so we don't have too many people that can watch the boys when we go out.

Well I've lucked out as a first time mom and have a really content baby girl. For "me" time I take showers while she's sleeping after her morning feeding or, oddly enough, I do the dishes as slow as I can.
But for couple time we like to go out to dinner. We take her with us since our family is 150 miles away and us being lucky she sleeps through it because she likes being in her car seat. Tonight though we were able to get her to nap for 30-45 minutes after a feeding and we jumped in the shower together. By the time we got out she was just waking up so husband took care of her while I got to take my time getting dressed. And she's been sleeping from 10pm - 7am (she's almost 2 months old) lately so our couple time in the bedroom is thankfully uninterupted.

It's not easy for me all the time. My boys are older now at 11, 10, 8, and they do there own thing most of the time. The birth of our daughter is another story. She is now 13 months old now, and demands all my attention. My husband and I work together in the house at times, to get some of the house chores done, or the kids fed. I am the one who is always finding new ways to get our daughter to become more independent and not hang on me. As far as couple time we make time, and we love playing card games (with me losing most times). Otherwise spending time with our daughter, and older sons.
