Hi, Piano! Whoa- you are sounding very healthy and strong! I remember everyone EVERYONE always telling me: "just take care of yourself and that baby- don't worry about WH right now" HAHAHAHAHAHA! Like we could really not worry about WH? I know you know what I mean!

However, I hope you feel a sense of control in sending that letter to him. It was very strong! I did not find DBing until after S was born. I only knew ultimatums before then, and when that didn't work I had no clue what to do other than D and I didn't want to D. I also hoped he would wake up after S was born.

So you are really doing a smart, thorough job, Piano! Good work! As for the next 5 weeks, there isn't much else you can do DBing wise, other than LRT (in my opinion) if he is with OW. The ball is in his court regarding how involved he will be with the baby.
I do recommend from hindsight that you start the parenting plan right away- I was so worried about WH not bonding to S- but S didn't know he existed until around 2 months of age, maybe 3!

How long will you BIL stay with you?
