Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

[newmama]

So I replied 2 hours after he sent the text and said "ok,thanks!"

When he arrived with S, I was soooo happy to see my baby boy! He was happy to see me too! I had left the dishes in the dishwasher but left the door open like I do sometimes. Also had just made myself brunch (roasted asparagus w/ side of dijon mustard, 2 fried eggs sunny side up, sourdough toast)

WH sat down on the sofa and chatted about how S did, etc. and he said he wasn't used to his sleep sounds, so he never could sleep well because he kept hearing S on the monitor. S woke up every half hour at first. Then WH says "I want to talk to you about something." My stomach dropped but I kept a straight face and said "okay."

He says "what do you think about S sleeping on his tummy now that he's older?" LMAO! You can imagine I thought he was going to bring up D talk! Well we talked some more about S' classes. Then I was playing with S and WH still sat there, watching us with a look on his face. ???Maybe best described as a look of "wonder?"

Again, I am thinking "LEAVE already!" but S started getting fussy for a nap so he finally did leave, saying "OK I'll see you tomorrow, S" "well I'll get going" "Oh I bought turbo tax so just give me your docs and we'll see how much money we really get from getting to claim a kid" "Well I'm heading out of here" "OK I'll see you guys tomorrow!" "Have a good night" (said in a tiny voice) . Maybe he was here about 20 minutes but it felt like an hour!

I was saying in response "Ok we'll see you tomorrow!" "Ok, bye!" "Have a good night too!"

Now I am expecting him to bring up taking "a day off" from coming over since he used to not come on Fridays.
