He doesn't take D at all - I am very insistent that my kids have one home, and sleep in their own beds. He suggested taking D overnight to his apartment at some point during my leave and I about jumped down his throat. I've never been to his apartment, I don't know how it's set up - he has nowhere for her to sleep, it's not babyproofed for sure - and she is a troublemaker!

I think once I actually give birth and am back to going out with friends a couple of times a month, I will be more insistent that H spend the night with the kids once in a while. After all, I have to do it every night...

He will be spending a great deal of his P-leave - he just wants to have six or so hours a day to go sleep in his own bed. Whatever, doesn't matter - when he goes back to work he will be working overnights, so he will come over to the house in the evening when he wakes up and stay overnight to take care of the baby while I sleep. This will come in handy since he will be back on overnights when I go back to work.

Right now we don't do anything family-oriented, but I imagine he'll be spending more time at the house once the baby is born. He seems very hesitant to have family activities.

The plan is that he's there with me in the delivery room - I'm debating going med-free just so I have an excuse to unload wink

I keep the business stuff to email too - I send him a spreadsheet of what he owes me. I don't contact him otherwise at all - I wait for him to contact me. I do occasionally send him news stories or funny emails and he does the same to me.

He just called me now to let me know he was on his way to pick up D from my aunt's house and he seemed very chipper. He was telling me how on a whim (since he has to stay up all night on his nights off now) he bought a basketball and found a court and shot baskets for a few hours, and now his whole body hurts because he's an old man... I laughed at him. I hope he's getting better sleep.
