Husband left me 3 months pregnant...

I think your H will come back when he sees he can't have his baby and his best friend BD as often as a husband gets to. He also needs to feel romantically toward you again, so I bet a few months of minimal contact and then seeing you back to your old body and energy level...no MOM jeans! And try your best to stay in touch with the outside world (you know after the first month) and show you are MORE than a mom...you are still BD but now that you are a mom (which will melt his heart) you are BD PLUS!

This is hard. Hindsight is 20/20 and I will never know "what if" I stuck to the parenting plan of 2-3 days per week, 2-3 hours at a time.

Just sayin.' And easier said than done!
