The twins 6 – 8 week check up

The night shift went really well. The twins took really good feeds and they both settled in their baskets. They slept well for a few hours before Malach needed feeding and then Elbereth needed feeding.

I managed to get up at 9 and get breakfast for Wolfie and I. I then got the twins changed and ready to get out by just gone 10. I had thankfully remembered to take them to their 6-8 week check up.

I unfortunately could not find their red books but I have managed to remember that Malach is now 9lb 2oz and is now 53 cm long. Elbereth is 8lb and 54cm long. I am really pleased with how well they are getting on. My health visitor noticed that Elbereth has got a little dry skin at the top of her nose so she has given me some cream for that.

I them went through to see the paediatrician after a short wait. She checked their eyes, hearts and their bits. Thankfully they were both funky with all of the things and neither of them have a heart murmur like what Wolfie had. I am really glad that they are both funky though and getting on so well. It gives me confidence that I am getting on well and getting things right. They settled off to sleep as soon as they had been checked.

After I got out I went to get some fruit and I went to visit my friend for a bit. We chatted for a bit and I had some lunch there before I went home. Though being at my friend’s house has made me realise that I now would like to live in a house as well. I do not want to move yet as I seriously need to declutter before I do that but I think it would be really funky to live in a house and of course ultimately a house where all three children can get their own room.

When I got back home I rinsed the clothes in the washing machine and got Wolfie some lunch ready and then had a quick look around for the birth certificates of the twins.

Devil boy’s daughter came around in the afternoon and her and Wolfie ran about like loons screaming like nutters. The afternoon went well and I was able to get quite a few jobs done while the twins slept. I put the washing out and put a nappy wash in.

I suddenly remembered something. Last night when I was trying to get to sleep I thought of an area to check where I had not checked before. I went and checked there and not only were the twins red books thee but also their birth certificates. I am really pleased/. I am going to phone up and get some new forms sent out to us in the morning so I can then get them sent off as soon as possible.

The rest of the afternoon went well with Devil boy’s daughter and Wolfie being mad and screaming a lot. Our household does go quite crazy for a few hours on a Wednesday.

After Wolfie settled off to sleep I browsed the Internet a little before I cleaned up the kitchen a little and then got my magazines ready for the night. I have decided that as I have got behind with competitions I would spend tonight just filling out competitions and another night off the computer. I really enjoyed it and managed to get a lot filled out I have really managed to catch up. I had to miss some competitions getting sent off but I decided that I would so that I would have a good chance to catch up. Now that I am caught up I am hoping that I will not fall behind again. I have my fingers crossed even tighter that I will win one of the funky prizes. I have decided that tomorrow I am going to finish the E-Mail to send off to Take a break with my birth story in it. I have done the story and I just need to add some photos, which I will get taken tomorrow.

I am really enjoying my nights off from the computer and I am going to start getting things done at night. I am gong to restart my collages soon. I have a collage to make for a friend that I should have done a while ago.

I have a few things to clean up and sort out before I take the twins through for the night shift.
