The party was just fantastic. Everyone showed a lot of support, without having to "say" anything, and I was just chuffed to have done it.
Yesterday and today was firmly back to reality and I have hit the ground hard.
H had his parenting therapy session (which I organised) with DB coach, and said she was nice and had some good ideas. He wants to see me, or talk on the phone. He also tells me he'd like to buy something for the baby and wants to talk about name(s). Obviously a suggestion from coach. I am going to head off for 5 days to the countryside to clear my head. I am not ready to talk to him, although I do need him to sign a document for the bank pretty urgently, though I think it's best to not mix reasons for seeing him.
Perhaps the name thing & present are best handled on email?
