A very productive day

The nightshift went well. After I fed the twins I took them through to the back room. I thought Malach was not going to settle off at first but he managed to settle off in the end. They slept well but Wolfie unfortunately woke up at 5am.

Elbereth woke up at 7am and I gave her a feed then and I gave Malach a feed at around 8.30. I fell asleep again and got up at round 9.30. I went to check the post and I was really happy to see that the last book that I had ordered had arrived (Vision of the Future by Timothy Zahn) I noticed that the book was a lot bigger than I expected but I am looking forward to reading it. I will hopefully be ordering some more Star Wars books soon but this shall keep me entertained until they arrive.



I went through and made breakfast for Wolfie and I. Devil boy was still asleep so I did not make any for him. I then managed to wash the dishes and sort out the things for recycling while breakfast was cooling.

After breakfast I went and fed the twins. Thankfully Devil boy was up by then so I was able to change and feed the twins in peace and read to them. He then took Wolfie over to his grandmas with his daughter. After I had fed the twins I sorted out the nappy wash and put away the clothes that I had brought in from outside. I also managed to sort out the clothes that were put in the back room. I have managed to clear quite a bit from the back room and it is beginning to look a lot better. I also put some more sheets over the book cabinet so that the books are covered from view.

I also managed to get some time to relax and browse the Internet. I am planning my days out quite well. It is a little odd really but it seems that the less time you have to get things done the more you get done.

I went through and gave the twins their afternoon feed and after that I got a snack and went out to the shop to get some cat food and yoghurts. I was glad for the walk so that I could not only get a bit of fresh air but also a nice brisk walk. I have been going so often to this particular shop that I can have a nice chat with one of the women who works there.

When I got back I browsed the Internet again and hovered the living room before I went through to give the twins their late afternoon feed. I am hoping that all of this extra feeding is helping. There are lots of wet and messy nappies, which the midwife at the hospital is a good sign that they are gaining weight and today Elbereth brought up some excess milk. We will see what happens next Tuesday but I am beginning to feel more positive. I also hope that they are getting plenty of hind milk though.

Devil boy’s daughter has been running about like a loon with Wolfie today. I do like it when they play together as it means that Wolfie gets good interaction and I can easily spend my time with the twins and getting things done.

As Devil boy’s daughter is over tonight I need to make sure that I am ready to go through to the back room earlier than normal. I am about to go and clean up the kitchen and clean Wolfie room. I will do that once he is in the bath. Then all I have to do is give the twins their early evening feed before I go through to the back room. I think that when I am through I will cut out the pieces for the collage that I am making for my friend. I have not done any work on the collage for a few days and I would like to get it finished. I need to get back into the habit of making collages. I also would like to start making the collages from the pictures from the online Star Wars game. I have decided that I will not make a start on them until I have finished the collage I am working on. I do not want to fall victim of failing to finish a project once I have started it.
