Pops and everyone,
Thanks so much for your replies, and the good wishes on the future of my marriage.
Am still working on things. H is being attentive to the baby, very caring etc. It's not the same as when we had our boys, but I know he's trying. And to answer someone's question: yes, it was his decision to raise this baby. We were already separated and I thought we were headed for divorce. But he made the decision to be this baby's dad.
Also..I agree that I would rather not have CS at all. But one of my H's stipulations was that the OM be responsible financially. If he ever changes his mind...great. But until then I have to respect what he wants.
As for dealing with the courts. We are goimg about this through a private agreement. H is listed on the birth certificate as the father and will remain there. All CS, visitation, unpaid medical etc is all contractual. I figured it would be easier this way. The one good thing is that I recently passed the Bar and so I'm able to be my own lawyer.
Anyway, there's a lot of things to be improved in our marriage that have nothing to do with my affair, his affair, or ths new baby. We just need the time and commitment to work them out.

I neglected to congratulate you earlier on your beautiful new baby. I hope your child will thrive and be surrounded by love and acceptance by your husband and family. It sounds like you and your husband are off to a pretty good start regardless of the circumstances.
Also, congratulations on passing the bar exam and your future as an attorney.
