A Trip to Luling

On Saturday afternoon we made the drive down to Luling, TX. It’s a small town right outside of San Marcos, and we have some family members that live in the area. The reason for our trip was to take my grandmother to see some of her kids that came down from Georgia. We took the long way down, unknowingly, and I was volunteered to drive so that was not very fun. I had hoped to get in some reading time, but my father insisted that I should drive since they had done it for years.

That’s one thing I can say that was awful. The heat and humidity. But getting to see all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins was well worth it. And the Bar-B-Q was off the chain! Seriously, if you ever visit, you have to try it. It's delicious. So after we all ate dinner we sat around in the living room and just talked. Everyone was catching up with each other and making jokes. Embarrassing moments were brought out, and we reminisced. It definitely reminded me of why I love having such a big family. We’re all so loud and happy together.

Emery did great on the drive down, but that’s where her good manners ended for the most part. Since my husband stayed behind, it’s way too hot for him and we have too many pets, I was left to wrangle our child all by myself. This was not very pleasant. After spending the weekend, with it just being me and her, I’ve realized that she does not fear me. Even when I dish out spankings. At one point I told her that she would get a spanking if she didn’t settle down, and her reply was

“No! You not daddy!”

Clearly, only her father can discipline her. So, we stayed at my uncle’s house for the most part. I was a little worried that she’d throw a fit if we went anywhere, and I was not about to set myself up for one if I could help it. Thankfully, she had plenty of people to keep her busy and entertained for the most part. We did get in an hour or so at the local park on Sunday morning. Everyone else had gone to church, and by the time she realized everyone was leaving she started asking to go “Bye bye”. So off we went, in the 90+ degree weather to play.

Later that afternoon we made the drive back up, but thanks to my iPhone we made it back in less than 3 hours. And I would have had better timing too had we not run into a storm in Austin. Now even though we had a nice time, I was really excited to get home. Emery kept asking for Daddy, and I missed our bed. The night before I had to sleep on the floor and that was brutal on my back. So once we got home I pretty much threw myself onto the bed and didn't get back up. It was wonderful! Now, it’s back to the old grind. Hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend!

p.s. Pictures of our weekend were limited.

I'll do a photo-dump soon.

Sex Talk

Now that I got your attention. I’m just going to flat out ask:

Any other ladies out there having any kind of  issue with climaxing, 

after having a baby??

Now, I don’t want this to come out like bragging or anything, but before Emery there was A LOT of sex being had. I’m talkin more than once a day and several days out of the week. Yea....it was a lot. Seriously we were like bunnies. Annnnnnnnnnnnnd then I got pregnant.

During my pregnancy sex wasn’t something I could physically manage at first. I was puking EVERYWHERE. Any little thing set me off. And any sudden, bouncy, rocking-like movements had chunks flyin’. So, even when we attempted to get down and dirty, I was a flight risk for throwing up. I may or may not have had to call “time-out” a few times to make a break for the bathroom on more than one occasion. It didn't bother us too much at first, because I was always sick. Then thankfully, towards the end, the excuse of having a human growing inside of me usually sufficed when I wanted a pass on sex. If you’ve ever been pregnant before, you know that sometimes you just don’t want to be near the object which landed you in your current impregnated state. Alas, going from bunnies to “if your lucky, once a week” for my hubby was kind of devastating.

Then, I finally had Emery and eight weeks later we got the go head to pounce on each other to our hearts content. Unfortunately, something wasn’t quite right. For me anyways. I was taking FOREVER. Every. Single. Time. I’m talking forty five minutes to an hour. I talked to my doctor and I was told this was normal for some women; just give it time. Well, it’s been 2 years now and I’m still taking forever. What’s wrong with forever you ask? We have a two year old, that’s what wrong! Sometime we don’t have the luxury of getting to take our time. "Wham! Bam! Thank you Ma’am" is usually the time frame we get to work with. And now that Emery’s in her toddler bed (instead of a crib), our room is no longer a sacred "adult place". She can now randomly make her way to our room and onto our bed whenever she pleases all hours of the night. Trust me, it’s happened. Thank GOD for darkness.

So, after this little mishap, I asked my good ole doc her opinion as to what was going on. Can I be fixed? Is there a way to get my youthful stamina back? My previous ability to have a quickie, would be greatly appreciated. And this is what I got:

“Sometimes after a woman gives birth she may lose sensitivity and it takes a much longer time to produce an orgasm. This is usually caused by the vagina not being as tight as it was before due to giving birth. Other times, it’s the completely opposite and women are able to have multiple orgasms every time. And then there are those that do not experience a change. But from what you’re telling me, it seems like your body has lost some sensitivity.”

Great! Just freakin great. This is not what I wanted to hear. I miss my bunny years people! And my husband, on more than one occasion, has voiced his concerns and nostalgia for those years as well. So, I asked if there was a way to fix me. Unfortunately there’s no crème or pill I can pop because there, in fact, is nothing wrong with me. My vagina just isn't cooperating with me. So, it all comes down to kegels. As if I didn't have enough of those during pregnancy. The doctor said so long as I do the “exercises” I should be able to return to my previous “bunny years”. So now I’d just like to know if anyone else has experienced this? Cus I’m feelin’ kind of lonely and awkward here.
