A late start but a very busy day to make up for it

Malach once again drank his night bottle without trouble but Elbereth would not take any of it at all. Hopefully she is getting enough from me during the day but I will see what I can try next to get her to drink it.

They settled well and I managed to get up and give them a night feed.

I struggled to get up in the morning. Soon after I woke up I fell asleep again which then meant that I got up later than I had intended. I then had to rush about helping Devil boy get ready to go out. I wish he had got me up earlier. I was really not happy for sleeping for too long.

I managed to then get the twins changed and fed before changing Wolfie and sorting out his lunch. I put on some music for us to listen to and I then sorted out some lunch for us.

Devil boy came back earlier than I expected. He had managed to get some contact lenses for him to take to the music festival that he is going to. I need to get out the tent that he will be taking and get that aired and show him how to put it up.


I then quickly went out to get some things as well as pick up the prescriptions for Malach and Elbereth. Elbereth needs eye drops for her sticky eye and Malach needs cream for his eczema. Thought it actually looks like it is clearing up a little.

The afternoon went well. I have been managing to give the twins feeds every two hours. In between that I have managed to have a quick browse of the Internet, go on the Cbeebies website with Wolfie and spend some time with him.

Devil boy sorted out some dinner for us while I fed the twins again and after that I was able to get into the kitchen to wash the dishes and sort out the bottles and sterilise them. I have to make sure that I get this done during the time when it is light as our kitchen lamp has broken, the kitchen light does not work and we have run out of candles.

As Devil boy is going out tonight I said to him that if he bathed Wolfie I would put him to bed. I sorted out his room and cleared up some of Wolfies toys. I then read to him. I managed to read a bit more than usual tonight but at the moment he is drifting off to sleep so quickly that I am making slow progress with the book.

When I got out Devil boy had cleared up the rest of the toys and he then went off to his friend’s house. I was able to change and feed the twins before going to sort out their bottles for the night.

I was sorting out the nappy wash when mum tried to phone. The last thing that I wanted to do was talk on the phone with mucky hands so I left it to ring. I tried to call back when I had sorted out the wash but I had missed her.

I then fed the twins gain and they have settled off nicely now. All I have to do now is tidy up a little and then give the twins their last feed of the day. I have got something that I can try with Elbereth. I have found a little feeding devise that might help Elbereth take some of the formula. I will try it and see how we go tonight. I think I will also have a read for a bit. I have not had much chance to read at all recently so hopefully I will get ten minutes to read before I go to bed.
