despair

I've always wanted lots of children.
I just learned that my husband doesn't want anymore.
He wants me. All of me. All of my attention. He wants this mommy to baby him.
He is glad the children are growing and less dependent.
He thinks the kids have had this drastic impact on our sex lives.
Which they have. I'll be the first to admit things aren't the way they were when we were 16.
The kids get up multiple times at night.
The kids run into our room at all hours without knocking.
The kids get most of my attention the majority of the day.
But I'm not ready to be done.
I'm wanting more babies.
I can't imagine my life without more little ones running around.
Sex to me is the least of my worries.
But without intimacy our marriage is worthless. At least to him.
And he seems to think that once the kids are old enough and out of the needy stage that the intimacy will magically re-appear..
I'm not so sure.
