Trying to do too much at once

The night sift went much better than I could have expected. When I took them through Malach woke up so I fed him and changed him. He settled off to sleep nicely and I managed to get him to settle off to sleep in his basket.

I managed to get a really good sleep before I brought them alongside with me. They settled nicely. Though I had to completely change Malach one of the times, as he was rather messy.

I managed to get to sleep again and after waking several times I eventually got up and was not happy with myself that it was 12. I really must get up earlier. I know it is wonderful that Devil boy helps out in the morning but I should really be getting up earlier. I know it is early days still but I should be trying to do a little bit more day by day. Even if it means that I get up at 10 that will be much better. I really do not like getting up so late as I feel like I have wasted a lot of the day. I would also like to take Wolfie out for a walk in the morning so that Devil boy has some free time during the day.

The afternoon went well and I managed to get a wash load and clear up before I took the twins out to get some shopping.

Unfortunately Wolfie did not get a nap so towards the end of the afternoon he started to get cranky and overtired. Another reason why I would like to get up earlier in the morning is that I will get more opportunities to get Wolfie to take his daytime nap.

The twins slept for several hours during the day after I got back from the shops, which was really good. This also gave me some time to spend with Wolfie. For some reason though I was in a really irritable mood and even when I was calm it would not take much to wind me up. I think I am trying to do too much at once again and trying to run before I can walk. I would love to sort out our flat as it seems really chaotic and I am annoyed that I cannot get it done instantly. I am going to have to make a proper plan though. I will have to get that sorted out tomorrow.

Wolfie settled off to sleep first time tonight, which was good as the twins at this point had woken up and have up to this point been either awake or unsettled. Hopefully because they have not only had good feeds but also been alert tonight they will get a nice sleep to begin with tonight. I will have my fingers crossed. LOL even if they are unsettled when I take them through I will not be too bothered as I will get the chance to read to them.
