Hey guys,

We are about to have our second baby. Our first one is 5 years old so not our first rodeo.

Grandma is moving in with us for the first 6 months to help out and afterwards we will get a nanny OR until they start sleeping through the night.

I have two partners at the moment but my partner has none.

Before having the second baby I talked to all partners and told them about upcoming desires to have a kid and now is happening. The relationship with my nesting partner (NP) is as stable as it ever has been.

My NP is not a morning person so during the last pregnancy I took any baby wakings after 3AM. I expect a similar arrangement and expect that to be through the first year. My five year old sleeps through the night and in the morning wakes up with me to work (she draws).

Given the fact that we will have help and both can work from home think I should be able to still date while prioritizing our infant.

With that said, what are some tips that you found helped? I am thinking of logistics that can help maintain our relationship. We practice parallel poly so my partners will not be helping out.
