Getting out and about but an unsettled evening

The night shift went well. They again woke several times during the night but thankfully they woke separately which made it easy for me to deal with them and they then settled quickly so I got a good sleep.

When I got up mum phoned me shortly after I got up to let me know how dad was getting on. He has made good progress during the night and he has had the breathing tube removed and only has to wear a breathing mask now. They have also managed to get him sting in his bed and he managed to drink a cup of tea. It is really good that he is making such good progress. Mum is feeling so much more positive.

I got up late and Devil boy went over to his grandmas with Wolfie, which gave me time to have a look around for my digital camera. I actually managed to find it so I took some photos of the twins before I went out.

I went up to the bank and get some things (crossword books for dad and a book from the charity shop) before I then went up to his grandma’s house. I took the pram that my friend gave me, as it is narrow enough to get through his grandmas back door.

I met my friend on the way to his grandma’s house and we chatted for a while. I met Devil boy at his grandma’s house. He was just leaving as I got there. Wolfie was getting really cranky so he did not stay for long before he took him home. I stayed for about an hour before I went home. I think his grandma is really funky. I have not been able to get over much since the twins were born so hopefully now that I am getting back into a normal routine I should hopefully be able to visit more often.

The night went well. Wolfie while he was acting up a little was also being good. I think I am going to try and get him to take a daytime nap tomorrow, as he is much better when he has had a nap. He did hug Malach though before he had his bath which was really sweet and he also kissed him on his head a few times.

He did not settle off to sleep the first time but thankfully after I read to him he settled off. While I was reading to him mum phoned up to let me know how dad was getting on. From what Devil boy told me he is still doing well but he managed to eat a meal but unfortunately he did not keep it down. It is still early days though.

I had planned on getting a few things done in the evening but the twins have been really unsettled which has meant that I have not been able to get anything done. I think if I can manage to put the pram down and clear space for their baskets in the back room then that will be good enough. I did manage to have a soak in the bath though so I am very happy about that.

I am hoping that they will settle soon as I really would like to lie down for a bit as my back is aching a lot at the moment.
