Our first long haul flight alone

I was dreading the flight from India back to London. I was planning a dozen scenarios in my head including re routing of flight, unscheduled stoppover, a plane crash - the worst possible outcomes. In reality it wasn't so bad. During security I asked someone for help (the staff wasn't as helful as a whle man who take care of my buggy). I actually spent most of the time watching her sleep. Can't believe I hadn't done that more oftne. It's such an amazing feeling. Or it was the combination of relief and gratitude at her being asleep!?!
