A busy day

Wolfie woke up at 3.30am and while it is an improvement from the other night I am looking forward to his sleeping pattern getting back to normal. I would like to make the most of getting as many good night sleep as possible before the twins arrive. Thankfully when Wolfie was through with us he settled well and slept until 8am. He would have slept longer but we were all woken up by the postman delivering the Mothrecare order. Thankfully we were able to rest in bed for about half an hour after this. I am happy now that we have all of the essential items that we need for the twins.

I set off to the nearby town to get some shopping done. I managed to get everything that I wrote on the list but unfortunately I was shattered by the time I got back to the train station. It is at times like that than I miss not having Wolfies pram with me (I went shopping on my own) Unfortunately I only just thought this evening that I could have picked up a stocking filler present for Devil boy.

I was able to rest on the train journey and when I was about to get off the train I chatted to the woman in front of me after she was nearly barged out of the way by two rude men in a hurry to get off the train first. When I was setting off home she pulled up in her partners van and offered me a lift home. It was such a lovely thing for her and her partner to do that I could not thanks them enough. The lady even carried my bags to my front door for me.

I managed to rest before I went to my midwife appointment in the afternoon. The appointment went well and my blood pressure is good and while there is a bit of protein in my wee it is nothing to worry about. Another appointment was made but I was not really happy about when it will be. I will be 38 weeks when I get the next appointment. I am sure that when I was pregnant with Wolfie I started getting home visits at this point. I am not looking forward to the prospect of a long walk when I am 38 weeks pregnant with twins.

I have noticed that my backache does not seem to be easing. I am not sure if it is to do with the fact that I am not sleeping well or that I have been so busy that I have not had a chance to properly rest for it to recover. I have had a partially restful night partially potter about cleaning up. I am hopping that once this chaotic week is over I will be able to get on top of the housework.
