Gatsby, good to hear he responded well to this last email but he still has a bit of work to do, doesn't he?
I have been thinking about your next email to him.... Surely he knows the baby is due in 4 weeks. Given that you have already opened the door a little to communication, why not just sit back and let him approach you about 1. the name, 2. when he can see her an 3. how often he wants to visit afterwards/coparenting ?
My feeling is he must be really wondering about #1, #2 --- and #3 he probably has no idea about yet but might have a better idea once he has met your baby.

Could you imagine just letting him contact you when he is ready?
You are in a very powerful position right now. It's an opp to make him work a bit harder if he wants to know your child. (just thoughts of course!! and i'm so clearly influenced by my sitch where i tried to include WH a bit more and I just got a pretty rude reality check. until the baby is born, fatherhood means nothing to my WH, imo. Could be different for yours though!).
