After a long few months, it's time for Wayne and I to start trying for a baby again. To be honest, I've been tentative about this time coming. A few weeks ago, I was thinking that I didn't think I'd want to try again right away. My thinking was that when we do try again I'd have to be prepared for the possibility of another miscarriage. I'm 35 and would be lying if I said I wasn't worried that there could be something wrong with me that would cause me to not be able to sustain a pregnancy. The doctors here don't do tests until it's happened 3 times. My biggest fear is that I may have missed my chance. I know my worries may be superfluous, but it's still a possibility that I have to recognise and it's really not something I can say I'd be prepared for no matter how much time I tried to allow myself.
So now that the time has come, I can't help but want to try again right away. Wayne was keen to dismiss the doctors advise on waiting at all so there was no question for him on whether or not to give it more time. I'm nervous, anxious and hopeful all at the same time and I wish I could fast forward through the month and take a test to see if we will conceive as easily as we did before.
We've decided to take a romantic break to London this weekend. I love London. I find it to be an absolutely magical place and when I'm there, I still find it surreal that this girl from Jersey is walking the streets of London. We're staying in a really nice hotel, going to dinner and a show that I'm thrilled to have gotten tickets for. We only seem to go to London for special occasions and this is indefinitely such an occasion. I'm looking really forward to it.
The other mother and I went into the school to meet with the teacher and the assistant head. We both let them know how upset we were that we were not informed that our children were sent to the office and how much we were against the children being allowed to play fighting games on the playground. I told them I wouldn't allow it at home and I'm really unhappy that it's being allowed at school. They admitted it was a problem and explained that they are planning to introduce a a scheme to teach the children to play in a safe way. They will be calling it 'Super Hero Training'. They plan to give out capes & masks out to children who behave well as rewards at playtime. They will have assemblies where they will teach the children to play fighting games without making contact. I find this to be absurd. The problem has gone on to long and I doubt they will be able to teach little children to change their games when they have sixty other childr...
