Scheduling

[ailbhe]

Rob and I take our responsibilities towards our relationship very seriously, so we're going to regular counselling sessions before the new baby is born, just making sure all the communications are working nicely before introducing a big stress. These are on Thursday mornings. We've been to one so far, and the second one was booked for tomorrow morning.

To accommodate this, I rescheduled my NCT toddler group coffee, we arranged a creche for Linnea (takes advance notice and some luck) and, finally, this evening, Rob sorted out time off in lieu leave so that he could attend.

As soon as he finished sending the last email to sort that out the phone rang to say that our counsellor is sick and can't see us in the morning.

So he'll be going to work as usual. I will probably just put Linnea in creche, because she's looking forward to it and I'm very tired, and use the time to get the house actually clean for the toddlers. I think at least one mother and toddler are coming, which is something. My other confirmed attendee went and had a baby on Saturday so she doesn't feel up to facing group socialisation yet (home water birth, TENS machine, beautiful 6lb baby girl, all going well - I do love it when people have babies).

(We had a pleasant and amusing anniversary dinner, and I ate too much.)

I can SO relate to the benefits of relationship counselling. My wife and I went along to a series of relationship seminars hosted through our local church and found this very useful - I would say invaluable - in strengthening our relationship!

Go you guys :)
