So first, the bad news: starting last Sunday my wife and I have been sleeping in separate beds. Our 16-month old's sleep has gotten progressively worse over that past few months and she had gotten into a pattern of waking up and screaming every hour or two. My wife would jump out of bed to go cuddle with her immediately, and we had started to give in and let her co-sleep with one of us in the guest room at some point most nights just so we could both get some sleep. I decided it was time to re-implement our sleep training and took control because I have the willpower to listen to her cry. So I've been letting my wife sleep through the night in our room while I sleep in the guest room and stick to the prescribed pattern of only going in to comfort the baby after 5 minutes, then 8 minutes, then 12 minutes, etc.
The good news: Sleep training is working great. She went from being rocked back to sleep 6+ times a night to sleeping straight through on Friday and Saturday nights.
The great news: We actually had sex on a weeknight while the baby was in the house! I can't remember exactly, but I believe it has been around 4 months since this last happened. All recent attempts have been cock-blocked by cries through the monitor. So on Tuesday night I was getting ready to head to the guest room and my wife suddenly started rubbing my back. The next thing I know she has my underwear pulled down and is sucking my cock. I rolled her over and pulled her underwear off and we had a very passionate quickie. This is extra amazing because my wife initiated everything. All my attempts to initiate in the evenings for the past 6 weeks have been either shot down or ended prematurely by the little one. It's amazing it only took 3 days for my wife to loosen up and feel less like a prisoner in our own bedroom!
We also had a lunch break fling on Friday while the baby was at day-care, which has been our best hope of getting busy lately. That way my wife can relax and we can dedicate the time needed for her to orgasm. Which she did in a big way on Friday, usually she builds up for 20-30 minute and then can roll through 5-10 wave orgasms. This time she hit a massive prolonged orgasm less than 15 minutes in and was then totally wiped out and relaxed. We then played around with a few different positions until she climbed on top and finished me off. The next step will be to get her comfortable enough to try this in the evening when we aren't alone.
Also of note: On Thursday I got a package with a few pairs of the sexy pouch underwear that u/newstufftoovertink posted about recently. The wife is a big fan of them. Last night she basically said I need to get more and wear them all the time because she loves grabbing my ass in them!
