I was just about to get up when I got a phone call from my health visitor. She told me that she wanted to call around and have a chat to me in the morning. She told me on the phone that the paediatrician may want to admit the twins into hospital to get fed up. This really worried me and I got up and quickly had breakfast before going tou to get some things.
One of my friends gave me a list of things that are good for boosting the calorie content of my milk so I thought that it would be a good idea to start as soon as possible. Unfortunately though I was only able to get one item off my list. I was really annoyed that I could not even get brown rice in the town where I live.
When I got back my health visitor was around and she had already weighed Elbereth. She then weighed Malach. She said that they had gained weight in the last few days. She told me that for now it would be a good idea to give them some formula but to also give them a night feed. I have decided that I will get up at 4 to give them a night feed. I have been told to feed the every four hours. It was amusing though because I got outfit for the twins to wear and as Devil boy got them changed he dressed. He put Elbereth’s outfit on Malach and Malachs outfit on Elbereth.
I was really down after that and I managed to give the twins a feed before going out. As the health visitor came around in the late morning it gave me chance to get out to the next town to get some bottles and some formula. I have already got a sterilisor. I also was able to get some items off my list to help boost my milk. I got spinach, almonds and brown rice. I also got some mineral water as I need to make sure that I drink as much as possible.
I managed to get some reading done while I was out. When I got back I got the nappies in fm outside and then fed the twins before making a start on a vegetable soup. I added some brown rice into it. I put as much into it as possible. It was really nice actually. I have got enough to last until tomorrow.
Devil boy’s daughter was over today so she kept Wolfie entertained for a short while before she went back again. I unfortunately then was feeling really down and uptight about what has happened today that I snapped at Wolfie a few times. I felt really wound up.
After dinner Wolfie had his bath. While Wolfie was in the bath I sorted out the bottles for the twins to have tonight. I need to make sure that the formula feed is on top of the other feeds, as I need to make sure that the extra milk does not affect my supply.
Devil boy then put Wolfie to bed. I cleaned up his today and washed the dishes. Devil boy came out and after he took his daughter home he changed the twins and I fed them.
I browsed the Internet for a short while before getting a bath. I thought it would be nice to get my hair sorted for tomorrow. I actually think that baths have a therapeutic quality for me, as by the time I got out of the bath I was feeling much better.
All I need to do now is to feed the twins and clean up a bit before going to bed. I need to try and get as much sleep as possible before I give the twins their night feed and also because I will be up early in the morning. I am really looking forward to going to Holyrood.
