Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

Ravenly, S is sleeping so I can share details about WH today...
He arrived a little early. I hid my wii before he got here!
I quickly got to work at working out. Before I left for the store, I checked on S. WH had set up a good tummy time activity and I complimented him on it. I held S for a few minutes. WH said "oh no, now S will smell all perfumy!" He was teasing.


OK this is not distant or mysterious behavior, BUT
WH also brought up the hamburger place he was telling me about a couple of weeks ago. He said it sounded really good today and maybe we all need to take a road trip. I told him that unfortunately I just ate, but maybe we could check it out on Wed (his day off). He lit up and said that sounded good. Then he went on to ask how we will take S; use the portable highchair or just hold him?

He also did some small things for me again...I did not ask and couldn't predict them! One was breaking down the portable packnplay that was in my room. I'm not using it anymore. He said he didn't know if I would be using it but he could always set it up again if I needed it! Now I am half convinced he will ask to use it to take S one night overnight each week. I expect him to bring that issue up any time but I will just calmly say "ok. Fri nights sound okay?" (Fri night=I can at least go out and he has been taking him Sat mornings anyway)

I saw him look at my body a few times throughout the day...I am down 38 pounds so far so I guess he can tell!

Despite the conversation I described, seriously it only added up to maybe 30 minutes!

I plan to think of interesting topics to discuss and some q's to ask while we eat lunch on Wed. One thing I know for sure is that OW is not that great at conversing. Sure, he is more interested in sex right now but I did woo him at one point and conversing was something I did well. Now even though we are going to lunch, it will take up 60 minutes top out of a7-8 hour visit so I promise to be busy the rest of the time!!
