W has been more chatty with me recently; I asked her what she needed help with for making dinner, so I made dinner while she fed YS. She also made a comment about that if I wanted a Nespresso machine, we could probably get one pretty cheap (which is accurate). Before that, she also told me that whatever cleaning she can’t get done tomorrow she will need my help with Monday and Tuesday. At least in some respects she still needs me, I guess.
This coming Saturday YS will be baptized Catholic—my Mom, FIL, and a female friend from grad school (who is YS’ godmother) will be flying in from all points back east. They get to see the kids, and see us. Like everything’s good.
I know no expectations, but man do I crave attention / affection, physical or emotional, from her. While the emotional has been nice the last couple of days, I do want sex. I also know I shouldn’t complain so much when so many partners in this forum have gone much, much longer than the month-ish I’ve gone.
I also tend to get down on things and crave attention / affection when I’m tired and overworked, which has been (and will be) me—have a Metric Ton of grading to get done, before grading period ends next weekend, but I’d like to be done before end of this week to be present to family and friends. I’m sure the late nights and relative lack of sleep from long nights grading don’t help.
But I’ve been giving YS tons of attention and affection—talking with him, carrying him around, singing songs that I’ve made up about and for him. YS is pure gift, even though the pregnancy with him really laid bare the fault lines of our MR.
