Oooh aaarrrrrhhhhh, mye loverrrrr

Last week we spent some time in Somerset with Dom's parents. It was a lovely relaxing time. Wendy took care of Megan so Dom and I could go and do touristy stuff together, as a couple. On our way too and from Bristol we always pass this wonderful sign. What is it with village names? I am always curious as to how they were derived; after people.... or accidents or drunken slurred suggestions that just stuck!? I know 'combe' means valley as that is now part of my surname... so, But valley??????"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sure there are lots of other wierd and wonderful names I've yet to come across on my travels and I look forward to exploring them in the future, as part of a family.

Jabs and Review

Today Megan has her 8 week jabs and I have my review. I am very nervous about it for her and for myself. I may have to have a smear and the Doctor may want to check my stitches, so I am not looking forward to that. I am nervous about Megan because there are a whole load of tests about her physical being that I have to answer and it scares me to be soley responsible for answering these which could lead to more tests. Dom feels that I am making it sound like he is unsupportive because he can't be there. I am not. It is just hard when you don't have any family around sometimes just to hold your hand. When I go to the clinic I see these babies with their mothers waiting for the jabs, and I also see someone with them too. At the minute Dom feels that he is being pulled in all directions at work and is trying to please everyone. I don't want to be someone else pulling him. He has lots of responsibilities and I have just one. I guess I focus too much on Megan to understand his situation. I just wish it were possible that he could be with me through this part, that's all. I know he is in spirit. He is the most supportive father and husband in the world and I love him for it.
