Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

Tonight's update...
I planned a rather complicated but authentic Mexican recipe for dinner. It took a looong time to make!

WH arrived and I made a big deal about "Daddy's here!" with S. I filled him in on S's day and got to work in the kitchen. Now, I didn't get a chance to freshen up before he arrived, but I had the same make up and hair from the morning that I had done and was wearing my contacts which has become a usual thing. I think it's okay to not look FABULOUS every time because it is more realistic. Come on, I was not going anywhere special! I can look good to show off my assets, but if I dress to the 9's every day it will not make that big of an impact after awhile IMO. I can at least look cute which I think I did. Quepiche?

He fed S and I didn't say much to him at all other than to ask his advice about some spices. He hung out with S and gave him a bath. About 90 minutes from the start of my cooking (no joke) dinner was ready. We ate while S was in his swing. WH said it was really yummy! I made some small talk about baby stuff but avoided anything that interesting or meaningful.

After dinner I cleaned up while he gave S a bottle and rocked him to sleep. WHen I arrived in the living room, I hopped on the laptop and surfed the internet a bit. WH fell asleep!! He woke up around 8:15 and he usually is gone by 8:00! So I didn't dare wake him (hee hee!) and he put S to bed. He ended up leaving about 8:30. I also didn't work out but am not that concerned because I will totally do it tomorrow.

Before he left, he said he would be checking in on S tomorrow and would see us after work (DUH to both!) and to have a good night. I wished HIM a good night too. (meaning I never wish him and OW a good night--I just think that I want to make sure he drives there okay and nothing happens to him over the night!)

Nothing that interesting happened but I managed to keep my goal of being distant and interacting maybe 30 minutes max!
