hey, welcome to the Oct 19th ladies I haven't met yet 
we went to Legoland yesterday and it was a lot of fun but oh so tiring (and I had to stick to the little kids' rides
). have caught the sun. totally shocked because it was very cloudy and not warm, but then the sun would come out and blaze away for 10 mins... I wore my cardigan and coat ALL DAY and never felt warm enough to take it off and yet still it was hot enough to get burnt. I'm stupid and never remember sun cream.
then got home to find a letter from my GP's surgery asking me to make an appt to discuss my recent test results with a doc.
had a letter like this several weeks ago and it turned out that the urine I gave at 7 weeks when I first saw the nurse had an infection. so I went on antibiotics, which didn't work, and needed another course of different drugs. the follow up test at 12 weeks was fine. so I did my pee for the midwife at my 16 week appt, and I thought she said it was clear?! mustn't have been. so annoyed, I hate being on antibiotics and I HATE worrying that something is wrong that I didn't know about (no symptoms at all, apart from wanting to pee a lot and then only doing a drop, but I thought that was from the pressure of the uterus on the bladder?) it stresses me because how would I know if I don't do pee tests if I am having no symptoms? if this has happened again I am worried it will happen a third time, and I won't be having another mw appt till 28 weeks now. it's a long long time to have a UTI and not be treated. not that I presume I'll get another but getting 2 is 2 more than I ever had with my son, and I am wondering if I am somehow prone to them now?
grrrr. so I rang up and made appt for 10.20 today.
oh and as for baby stuff - I haven't bought a thing. apart from some maternity yoga pants for me. I was the same last time, bought a couple of little bodysuits about 20 weeks before the scan, then started getting a few boy things after the scan. If it's a girl I guess I'll buy something but am inclined to wait a while, till the autumn/winter clothes come into the shops. don't want to kit him/her out in summer stuff. bodysuits and babygros are not really seasonal so I might start there.

or 
. I'm just staying out of Mothercare for the time being. 
welcome ! 
she even went through all my blood test results and nothing problematic there either. which I knew, as the mw told me last week.
