Sex Life After Kids

I've always heard it,and now i'm starting to believe it might be true: Does your sex life take a backseat after having kids?
My husband and I have never been a super highly sexed couple(unless we're drinking heavily) but would probably 'do it' 2-3 times a week before kids. After I had my son (4 years ago),I noticed we would maybe do it 1-2x a week. Now we have another kid (she'll be 1 year in a few days),and I can probably count on one hand how many times we've done it in one year. You also have to know, my husband travels a TON for business,and is gone 4--6 months out of the year,so you'd think we would do it more! My daughter is also not sleeping through the night every night,and Im still BF. To be honest,on MOST nights,i'm so tired,I brush my teeth put my retainer in my mouth and go to sleep. Not sexy huh? I didn't think so. LOL! I'm not sure if its because i'm still BF, if my hormones aren't completely back to normal,or i'm still a little self conscious about my weight or what. Is there anyone else out there that feels the same way? I don't remember my sex drive being so low after having the first baby 4 years ago. And I'm supposed to be in my prime!!! Don't get me wrong,my husband is very handsome and i'm super attracted to him and vice versa,I think (I hope).
Anyway,if any of you are feeling this way,i'd love to hear i'm not alone.
PS. sorry if this is TMI, i understand if some people don't feel comfortable talking about sex openly.
