I know this is a bit similar to 'The birth of our child has destroyed our relationship' thread... but I just really want to get a feel for realistically how things are going to change.
We're expecting our first baby in the summer and are both really looking forward to it, but I'm also starting to feel a bit anxious about how much it will change things between us. We're both in our mid 30's (well I am, DP is more around the 30 mark and have only been together a few years, love each other dearly and spend a lot of time together - we have some separate interests and friends, but most of what we do, we do together.
What can we do to make sure we don't lose this special bond between us, when we become a family? I want us to be a 3, but also to be able to be a 2 as well, if you see what I mean? Or is that just selfish? Am I being unrealistic?
