You wouldn't believe how much has changed since Thyr came along.
Our lives are now centered around his needs. We have to plan everything carefully, making sure he's fed, changed, and rested.
And you know what else? We haven't had a moment alone together since he was born.
You don’t need me anymore do you?
What? No, that's not true at all. I still need you, Resteeda. Being a new mom is challenging, and I appreciate your support more than ever.
I feel like I’m being replaced by a baby
Oh, sweetheart, that's not what I meant. You're not being replaced by Thyr.
Your all ways working or taking care of the baby and I never get any attention. I miss you
I understand how you feel, Resteeda. It's been tough juggling everything, but I promise you, I still love you just as much as I did before Thyr came along. Maybe even more so now, because I see how much you've been there for us.
Can we have some time alone together now and then?
Of course, Resteeda. I think it's important for us to have some time alone together too. We can plan a night out or a weekend getaway.
And until then, let's make the most of our time together right now. How about we have a cozy night in, just the two of us?
Smiling I'd like that. Let's cuddle up and watch a movie together.
That sounds perfect, Resteeda. Let me go put Thyr to bed so we can have some uninterrupted time together.

I made the couch more comfortable for us
That's sweet of you, Resteeda. Thank you for making our time together more special. sits down on the couch next to Resteeda and snuggles up against them
