Surviving Separation

[slow_it_down]

I woke up bound and determined not to answer any work day texts today unless I was specifically asked something about the baby. As expected I got a random checking in/small talk text by mid morning and I successfully ignored it! +1 point me

By afternoon I got a follow up text "is everything ok?!??"

Drats, i guess I can't really "go dark" on my H when I could go into labor at any time because 'worry' doesn't equal mysterious... -1 point

But then something interesting! My H asked me if I'd like to get lunch tomorrow when he drops by the house. I wondered how long he'd stay tomorrow, but asking in advance to do lunch on top of getting his stuff... Way more than I was expecting.

I replied that tomorrow might not be good and that I might have to take a rain check. We went on to exchange several more TM's that made it obvious that he was in a good mood and eager to meet up. Very different vibe than the last time he wanted to get together when he seemed panicky/guilty. I have a much better vibe going into whatever happens this week. Pull up some pop corn, should be interesting.

Notes to self in advance of seeing him: sloooooow-it---down. No getting too excited over anything good or bad that is said. Validate, validate, validate. And, keep things light, like friends out for lunch saying hello.

Wish me luck (and patience)
