Isn't there any way to talk to her less? I understand there is some discussions that go with co-parenting, but it seems you are initiating reasons to call. If it isn't absolutely essential, and could be interpreted as a flimsy excuse to call (think of the LBS that is always writing, "he/she didn't have to call, wtf is up with that") I'd forgo it. And you really don't have to invite her to stuff like the McD things. Have some fun with just your child. I just get the feeling you are pursuing. Is there any system to your visitation schedule? If so, you could just try to go with that. Honestly, unless we need to switch weekends or days (which doesn't happen often), I haven't talked to my xw about visitation in probably 3 years. My kids know when they are with me (and have known for years) and are ready to go when I come by. If they have a rash, minor injury, or whatnot, then I deal with it myself. She does the same. Maybe you should evaluate what you do and don't have to discuss with your wife. A little space might be nice.
