How am I doing? Need some encouragement......

She will bring them to the house later and maybe we can have dinner together then?

Then she texts me: "Btw, you are getting good at the cooking thing :-)" WOW! Was that a compliment? An UNSOLLICITED compliment?

After we put the boys in the car, I give it to her and she's very appreciative of it, she's all smiling, leans over to me, like give me a kiss, and I do, she reaches out and runs her fingers on my stomach (it's a thing she used to do a long time ago and she's done this twice in the last week).

All good signs, I would think. As a woman, the touch thing is especially telling. Now, I am not her, so I can't say for sure, but my guess is if she wasn't feeling something for you, she wouldn't be doing that.

I think you are doing well. Try not to let a day without contact get you down. I know that is SO much easier said than done, and something I am not good at doing myself. Days like that send my into a downward spiral, and I know it's not healthy. But, I guess that's why the whole DB process has been referred to by so many as a rollercoaster.

On the flip side, try not to get TOO excited about the positive changes you are seeing,either. Again, I say this because I know firsthand the consequences of ignoring this advice. Accept them for what they are, small steps, and not necessarily absolute indicators of how things will be tomorrow, next week, or next month. It takes time.

Thanks for checking in on me! I'll come back and check on you, too. Hang in there!
