I think you did really well with your H. It's awesome he's suggested getting the new bed and used "us" in his statement. Also how nice of him to get you a car!!!
Sounds like he's been doing alot of thinking and planning.
And now that you've brought up the coming home topic twice, I agree with you that you should let it rest now and let him come through with it. We want to avoid him feeling pressured or mothered...
It's also very psitive that he's going to start IC again.
