The night shift did not go too well. Wolfie woke several times with a very runny nose. I gave him some Calpol but his nose kept running so at 2am I took him though to Devil boy.
The twins had settled by this time though and I was able to get a good sleep before they woke up again.
Wolfie had unfortunately had a disturbed sleep and as both Devil boy and I are feeling tired we have decided to make sure that we get an early night in case Wolfie has another disturbed night.
After I had got up and had breakfast I started sorting the twins out when my heath visitor came around for my postnatal depression check. I filled out the things and I had a score of 4, which I think is really good. I also feel confident enough to say that I think I am over the worst of my depression and ready to say that I no longer ha ve depression. It is a big step but I am so proud of myself and how far I have come. I have bad days from time to time but then again who doesn’t.
I asked the heath visitor to have a look at Wolfie when she was here and asked her whether or not I should take him to the rhyme and time group in the afternoon. After we watched him we both decided that I should nit take him. He did not seem too bad but we both felt that he would not have made the walk there and back and it would have been too much for him.
I took the twins to the group as I was hoping to see my friend. Though when I got there she was not there. I will call around at her house tomorrow and see what the matter was.
The group went really well. Elbereth was awake this week. She took a really good feed and then went back to sleep. There were two new women at the group this week and at the end of the chat we all had a really good chat about all sorts of things. I really enjoyed it this week.
When I got back I managed to get some cleaning up done and make the Tesco food order. After we had dinner I played some games on Cbeebies with Wolfie and then I fed Malach and Elbereth.
Wolfie was really tired bless him and he settled off to sleep without any problems. I then started getting things ready so that I could have an early night. I then spotted something that worried me. I saw a packet of paracetamol that had fallen on the floor (It must have been dragged out when Wolfie pulled his birthday cards from behind one of the speakers) I am sure that he has not eaten any (I am sure that he would spit it out as it would taste horrible) but it has made me realise how easy accidents can happen and you have to be especially vigilant and especially with medicine. I have not moved them well out of his reach and I am going to keep an eye on him over the next 24hours and if I see anything that I do not feel happy about I am going to get him checked over.
Mum phoned me up and let me know how dad is getting on. He is settling back home and getting on really nicely new. It is going to be a slow recovery but it is good that he is recovering. He has a nasty cough though which he is trying to shake at the moment. Mum also said that he is also worried for being home as if something happens in hospital the nurses are there strait away but it is not like that at home. I am sure that after a few nights of feeling better he will sleep more soundly.
I have made good progress tonight though and I have cleaned the kitchen and one of the corners in the living room. I am sure that I will be able to get the twins into the back room early and let Devil boy have a good night’s rest.
