How to Keep the Romance Alive When Life Gets Extra Busy
Fresh Ways to Woo Your Boo: Master the Art of Swooning Between Zoom Meetings!
Ah, the third trimester! It's that magical time when you feel like an enchanted goddess who can't quite see her feet. Or, depending on the day, a very pregnant demi-goddess waddling to the bathroom for the seventh time in an hour. But hey, you're creating life! Who needs romance, right? Well, wrong. This whirlwind phase of your life might feel like a perpetual “when will it end” moment, but it's also the perfect time to sprinkle some giggles and intimacy back into your relationship.
Because let's face it, baby bump kisses are cute... for now!1. Virtual Picnic from Your Couch
When your feet demand a break, but your heart says romance, why not bring the great outdoors indoors? Arrange a picnic date in your living room. Grab a cozy blanket, some pillows, and your favorite snacks. Voilà—romance on demand without leaving your couch! Want to mix things up? Challenge each other to a game of "who did what," where you guess old stories and see who remembers them best. Spoil
2. Dance It Out!
Who needs to be footloose and fancy-free when you can be footloose and fancy-in? Turn up your favorite tunes and let loose in your living room. Dancing is not just a great way to let off some steam, but it's also bound to light that spark—or at least make you laugh off those pre-baby jitters. Bonus points if you can master the art of "preggo-twerk" (you might just invent the next viral trend!).
Warning: Moves may be hot, but try keeping the smoke detector quiet!3. Create a Love Bucket List
Sure, you may be on the brink of diaper duty, but that doesn't mean you can't dream a little! Grab a pen and paper and create a "love bucket list." List all the things you both want to enjoy together post-baby arrival. Whether it's a trip to Bora Bora or a simple uninterrupted nap, writing it down beats daydreaming about it. Love is about living all those dreams together, right?
Remember, a couple that plans together... plans some more, but eventually does it all!4. Finish What You Started... Eventually
If Netflix can pause, so can you two. Start that new TV show or a movie saga and take turns guessing who will nap off first—because you know someone will. It's okay to press pause and leave anticipation hanging in the air.

5. Share the Workload
Listen, it's time to banish the idea that one of you has to do it all. Divide the baby prep and household responsibilities so neither of you is tapping out early. Sharing duties makes things less daunting, and let’s face it, there's something about teamwork that brings you closer. Bond over choosing the weirdest baby names or debating which hue of yellow really says "adorable nursery."
Double the trouble, divide the work: Lovers' math!6. Take a Babymoon
Yes, babymoons are a thing, and they’re basically the last carefree hurrah before the little one demands all your TLC. Can't jet off somewhere exotic? Create a spa-cation at home. Essential oils, face masks, and foot rubs can go a long way in transforming your space into your personal retreat. Just picture this: you and your partner, unwinding, recharging, and discussing your future—as parents.
When in doubt, spa it out!Remember, no matter how hectic things get, maintaining connection with your partner is crucial. A little creativity can keep the love fire burning bright without needing a fire brigade. Whether you're still strutting around with that beautiful bump or adjusting to post-baby life, it's important to take care of yourself and keep the romance alive.
