Wolfies two-year check and the twins birth story

The night shift went really well again. Once again both twins slept through the night again. Malach woke up at around 6.30 and Elbereth woke up at around 7am. After I had fed them I slept for a bit longer before I got up.

When I got up I read my Emails and Devil boy cleaned up a little before I got my breakfast ready. I was just about to start eating my breakfast when Wolfies health visitor arrived to give him his two-year check.

That went really well. He stacked up the blocks nicely and he also drew lines and circles. Wolfie holds his pen really nicely. He much prefers using pens that using crayons. The health visitor was also happy with his speech. He has not been that bothered about speaking and has concentrated mostly on movement. Though he has recently really started to develop his speech nicely. I am not worried about it though. He will learn to speak when he is ready.

The health visitor also had a look at the twins and she was really happy with how they are coming on. She said that she can tell a difference with them already and she only saw them a couple of weeks ago. It always reassures me that they are getting on well. I can see that they are getting on well but part of me also worried that they are not doing well because while they take proper feeds they are also having big gaps between feeds. It is reassuring though to know that someone else can see that they are getting on nicely.

In the afternoon I sorted out a lot of the clothes in the back room. The clothes had become scattered about the room and a lot of their sleep suits and vests had gone AWOL. I managed to find them all and put away most of the clothes. I also sorted out a bag for the 9 – 12 month clothes for the twins.

After that I got the twins ready to take up to the doctors with me. When I got there I needed to change and feed Elbereth. I then saw the doctor. He seemed in a very good mood today and we had a nice chat. He has given me some paracetamol for my back and he told me to fill out a form to ask to get some physiotherapy. I will get that sent off tomorrow. Hopefully it won’t take too long to get sorted.

After the doctors I went to get some things form the shop (I treated myself to some silly things) and while I was in the shop getting my prescription as well I looked up to see a woman who I used to chat to a bit form one of the baby groups that I used to go to. I was really shocked to see her as I was not expecting to see her. She had moved to another town before I found out I was pregnant. She then got a shock when I showed her the twins though.

After that I went around to my friends house. Her husband is home from university at the moment revising for his exams so I had a good chat to the both. She has had a funky new haircut. It really suits her. I was reminded by seeing her new hairstyle that I need to get my hair sorted at some point soon.

After I got home I had had to phone up Take a break to give them some details about the twins birth story. They are going to print the story. I am really pleased about that. I am going to buy lots of copies when it comes out in May. After that I had some dinner and Wolfie then went in the bath. Wolfie decided though tonight that he would do a poo in the bath. That was not much fun to clear up and it was rather messy.

I cleaned up his toys and gave the bath a really good clean before I then had a bath.

I then managed to catch up totally with the competitions form the Chat and Take a break. I have not been that up to date for a long time. Tomorrow I am going to have a night reading.

Devil boy has not been feeling well though unfortunately so I am going to try and get the twins through ASAP so that he can get some rest.
