I'd say to ask him but keep your expectations low. If he declines, don't "punish" him by putting up that formal wall since you've noticed that he responds better when you're more relaxed and natural.

I agree!

But I think you still going will show your H that you're not putting your life on hold because of him. It's obviously something you'd like to do, so do it for yourself. It's not till the end of May so you can prepare yourself as much as possible being away from your babies that long. I think it would be good for you to go.

Flowmom, as another "career woman" and new mom, IT will be SOOOOO great to go! That part of you, the working woman part, is renewed and it just feels amazing! Now yes, you will miss your kids, but like Freckle says, you can prepare yourself. And talk to them on the phone every day. BUt you will be so disracted and feeling good that you might actually enjoy yourself and feel guilty that you are doing so LOL! (but you shouldn't because you won't be away from them for 3-4 days normally!)
