The last couple of weeks have been really lovely pregnancy weeks. Last week, we started our pre-natal (antenatal in the UK) classes. It's a very small group of us that meet on Thursday evenings at the teacher's house. It's really nice because it's very casual and quite social. Because there are only 3 other couples, we cover what ever it is we want to cover (although the teacher does make sure she covers the essentials). It's been lovely for me because I certainly don't have a social life and having other couples to share and discuss things with has been really enjoyable.
This week, my midwife was on vacation and her replacement was wonderful. During my examination, she showed me the babies head between her two hands on my belly. She showed both Wayne and I by directing our hands as well - it was amazing. She was so enthusiastic about it as well (my midwife has no personality and doesn't seem to enjoy her job in any way). It was the most enjoyable midwife appointment I've had to date - I only wish I could replace my midwife with her for good.
The most exciting thing this week is that today, we're going to have a 4D ultrasound! We're going to get an actual peek at what our baby looks like! I am so excited, I'm jumping out of my skin! I just can't wait! I'll scan the photos and post them as soon as I can. Have to run - we're leaving for our appointment in a few minutes!
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...
