A good day considering.....

Unfortunately Wolfie did not settle off for long and after waking several times I decided to bring him into bed with Devil boy and I at about 2am. My back was throbbing by this point and I was so exhausted. After I bought him through with us while he was contented he did not get to sleep until 3am.

He woke several times between 6.30 and 8.30 when he got up. I managed to get a lie in this morning thanks to Devil boy for getting up and making his breakfast. As I did not get a good sleep I am feeling shattered so I am getting an early night as possible so that I hopefully get as much rest as possible. Hopefully Wolfie will also have a good nights sleep.

I managed to get the Christmas presents sent off this morning. I am so glad that I have got them sorted out. All that needs to be done is that Devil boy’s relatives presents need to be wrapped and cards written. That can get done in the next couple of days though.

Unfortunately I noticed that Wolfie has come down with the same cold that Devil boys daughter has got as he sounds like he is losing his voice today and he only ate half of his breakfast. He also would not nap this morning.

I took him out to the baby group in the afternoon as they were having their Christmas group. I asked first if it was all right that he attends (because of him not being well) and all the people at the group said that it was fine. He was really good there and he ate a lot of food there (including lots of fruit) He was very sweet at the group. He went and joined the other toddlers with his food and shared it with the other toddlers. It made me very proud of him. He also ate a good dinner this evening so I am hoping that he is getting over the worst. He settled off to sleep well again last night but we will see whether he sleeps all through the night. I also noticed that his incisors have broken through the skin now so hopefully they will not bother him either tonight.

The order with nappi nippas and eco disposable nappies arrived today so the twin’s hospital bag is now ready.

I have decided that regarding the feelings of being overwhelmed I am going to stop trying to do too much at once. This will mean that the twin’s room will get done before the twins arrive but will not be ready by the end of the week. I am going to try and do a little bit when I can and try and not get too bothered if I cannot get things done when I wanted to.

This has meant that as I am feeling so drained tonight I am going to have a relaxing night and do nothing too much (except a quick clean of the kitchen) and if I am in bed for as close to 10pm as possible I am going to fill in some Take a break competitions for a short while before hopefully getting a good nights sleep ready for shopping and midwife appointment tomorrow.

Edited to add. I forgot to put in pictures of the collages that I finished last night.

Here is the collage that I have made for my dad:
