Going out in the snow and stepping up the preparations

Wolfie woke up at 4 am this morning but I was too tired to do anything so I brought him through with us. He slept well but unfortunately I was still too tired to get up at 7.30. I managed to get up at 8.30 and he ate most of his breakfast.

I did not get a lot done in the morning but I did manage to get Wolfie off for a nap. It was later that his usual time but I was pleased that I managed to get him to nap. While he napped I made some lentil soup for us. He ate that when he woke up and he also managed to eat a whole banana.

I got him ready to take Wolfie over to Devil boy’s grandmas when I got a phone call from Devil boy (he had gone out earlier) telling me that he was at his grandmas and that the path going to her house was to risky for us to walk along. The path is up a steep hill and there is a lot of snow and ice on it.

I was just about to take Wolfie out when Devil boy phoned me. I thought that while it would not be wise to go to Devil boys grandmas today it seemed unfair to not go out as he loves being outside. I decided that I would take him out for a walk near our home instead. He really loved being out in the snow as there was a good covering of snow on the floor so it made a funky crunching noise when he walked along. He was giggling at first and for a while at the crunching noise that he made. We had a really good walk and at the end he looked so sweet with his red nose and cheeks.

Wolfie managed to eat a good dinner and settled off to sleep well. We will see how well he sleeps tonight. Hopefully he will have a good sleep.

Now that Wolfie is in bed I am planning on working on the twins room and have a general tidy up in the living room and kitchen before I have a rest and have a quick read through the baby whisperer and contented baby websites to see what I can pick up on them about getting the twins into a routine.

If all goes well I am hoping to manage to get an early night. If I manage to get a good night’s sleep then I will hopefully manage to get up early with Wolfie and get him back on track for getting him back into his normal routine. I also need an early night because since this morning my nose has been running and I have gradually cone down with a cold during the day. I am feeling chilled and my head feels stuffy. I wish I could curl up with a hot water bottle when I go to bed but unfortunately I do don’t know where it is.

I have decided that as I am now in my later stages of my pregnancy I would take a photo of my bump every week. So today I am 35 weeks pregnant. This pregnancy really has flown by. I know that I was later in finding out but it is still mad to think that I only have 5 weeks until my due date. I am going to have to move up a gear so that not only is the room prepared for their arrival but also that I am also mentally prepared for getting them into a routine as soon as possible.
