Getting the things that I need

I managed to get another lie in today and I got a letter through telling me that my maternity grant will be paid to me in a couple of days.

This will mean that not only will I be able to pay a good chunk off my credit card bill but I will also be able to get all of the things that I need for the Bambini. The most important things is that I get are the pram (ordered yesterday), nappies (with plastic pants), nappi nippa’s and some nappies to go in the hospital bag. I am so happy to be able to get things sorted now. It actually feels like I am preparing for when the twins arriving now. Before I felt unprepared and a bit in limbo but now I feel like we are getting somewhere.

Today I went around to visit a friend who is going to look after Wolfie while I am in labour. She has a daughter (Daisy) and I have been calling around to her house so that Wolfie and Daisy can get to know each other and be comfortable around each other. It will also mean that Wolfie is happy at her house and feels safe around my new friend. I met her through the baby group that I go to on Monday afternoons.

I was telling her about what I was planning to order for the twins when she gave me her old steriliser with some unused bottles and some sterilising liquid. That was so nice of her. I am about to go and clean it out now but it looks in really good condition. This will mean that I just need to get some tablets for it now.

Wolfie has been very unsettled getting of for a nap during the day so Devil boy and I have decided that we are to put him in his cot for a nap instead. He settled off after a while but I know that in a few days he will get used to it. I am hoping that this will help us so much as well when the twins arrive.

While he napped I managed to get a lot of work done in the twins room. It was mainly folding up clothes and chucking out rubbish but the room is really beginning to look better now. I am hoping to be able to start taking off the wallpaper this weekend.

He was still very tired by this evening and he went to bed earlier than usual and he did not want me to read to him that much as he just wanted to go to sleep. This meant though that I actually managed to get on an online computer game for a bit while I cut out bits for my mums Christmas collage.

I have nearly finished it now and I will start work on dads collage tomorrow.
