Bloody hell, it's hot

Approaching 100 degrees for the last few days with the warmest of winds that make you feel like you're standing infront of a very large hairdryer. My fake tan experience of last week wasn't wholly successful so I switched the remaining sessions for time on a sunbed. Went today for 7 mins (they're very powerful, apparently) and my skin is zinging. I suspect it'll be red tomorrow, mind you it probably wasn't helped by sitting in the sun for an hour or two tonight.

We had soccer (twice a week!) again tonight & D is enjoying it. I confess to enjoying sitting on the sidelines cheering British style for our kids. D is enjoying it too, I will definitely enroll him in something similar when we get to the US. He's not the most sporty of children but he loves it and can't wait to go each time.

The 'list of things to do before we move' grows longer and more pressing each day. Meanwhile, I pile a ton of work on myself for UKChat, very sensible!

Hi Katie,
I am going thru a terrible time. I am 29 and am preggo for the first time. I was on the pill and I had a DVT 4 years ago, and so my doc wants to put me on Fragmin now as a means of prevention. I am really concerned about the possible side effects. Should I do it? Should I risk side effects? I was on Warfarin 4 years ago for the DVT for a few months and haven't had any probs since. But my doc says I need to go on Fragmin right away... I am 10 weeks, I think it is too soon. Why did your doc wait until you were 20 weeks b4 starting Fragmin? I had a Protein S deficiency 4 years ago, and don't have any recent test data to prove that I still am deficient. Didn't you take any vitamin supplements during your pregnancy?

I am so glad to finally read a story on the internet with a happy ending like yours... you give me hope that things will be alright.
