My head is pretty jumbled up right now as I've just read the Momaroo front page and seem to have an opinion about everything.
First off, I completely agree with Nurse Jenna about birth control. I've scoffed at the idea of "Natural Family Planning" since I first heard about it. As for me, I couldn't really afford the costs of birth control pills, both financially and physically as they compounded my migraine problem. I'm not ready for surgical methods yet and am quite adamant that I will not be getting a tubal ligation unless I first hear my husband say that he will get a vasectomy (which he is quite opposed to, but let's be fair about that shall we?) Other than that, my husband and I have never (with the exception of the pill, the second time around) used a method of birth control exclusively and without fail. There are several reasons for that and while we agree that right now isn't the best time for a baby, we also understand that sex brings about babies no matter what you use to stop 'em and we're more than okay with having another one.
The other thing that stands out in my mind right now is separation between married couples. The longest my husband and I have been apart since we first moved in together has been two weeks, when I packed up the baby last september and flew to my parents for a little down-time. I like to be alone, I love having time to myself and honestly, I wish that my husband and I were separated a little more. I know it sounds horrible but I find that I appreciate him and our relationship more when I don't see him (or have to deal with him...) for a little while. He however, seems to be the opposite. While I was pregnant (and cranky), I felt smothered but quickly realized it was a small price to pay for having someone there when I needed help, as I was in and out of OB Triage.
Well, if that wasn't a blah post, than I don't know what is. I have no summary for you, no perfect little closing line, nothing witty, or funny, or thought-provoking, or even anything to get you to come back. I'll end it with a little luck and a lot of hope!

I don't think it was blah. Just your extended opinions on what is going on on the main page.
I know this is an "old" post, but I was browsing through your site and had to say that I felt my hubby was a little "smothering" too. I tend to be a bit independent, and he isn't as much. I try to remember that I'm thankful for such an attentive hubby when I get annoyed! hee...
