Sith mummy day 2

The night shift did not go well unfortunately. The twins once again settled off nicely (Elbereth squeaked for a bit but settled in the end) It was Wolfie (as per usual) that was the challenge. He started crying at around 1.45 and I decided that I would be tough. He would not settle though. I managed to get sleep while he was crying through and I managed to stay tough until 5.30 when I decided that he should go through to Devil boy. He then slept until 9.45.


I got up at around 10.30 and had a look at Devil boys funky new phone that had arrived this morning. Elbereth woke up at 11 so that is very funky for her. I had my breakfast and Devil boy took Wolfie over to his grandma’s house.

I had a quick look around for Devil boys train tickets for the download festival. I did not have any luck but I will find them over the next few days. I then changed and fed the twins. I managed to read for a bit before the Tesco order arrived. I unpacked that and fed the twins again.

Devil boy got back from his grandmas and shortly after I fed the twins before getting up to the health centre to go to the baby clinic. My health visitor had a look at Malachs head and gave some cream for his eczema. She also gave me some ointment to put in his bath. She told me that I did not have to get them weighed and she thought they were looking really well and she said that she could tell that they had put on weight. I was really nervous about getting them weighed after what happened last time.

While I was getting ready to leave the other health visitor came to chat to me. He started making me feel guilty about not getting them weighed. It felt like he was bullying me and I did not like it. He was telling me that Elbereth might have reflux and that I must not leave them for long. I told him that I was happy with them and that I would get them weighed next week. He could not force me but he made me feel awful. He kept mentioning Elbereth though and it was Malach that had lost weight the last time. Elbereth was the one who’d had good weight gain.

Before I left I had another quick word with my health visitor to ask her about Wolfies sleeping. She told me to keep the Sith mummy approach so I will do that but I also managed to get some reassurance from her that she thought that the twins were funky and that it was all right not have had them weighed.

On my way home I realised that I had left the twins changing bag at the clinic but I needed to rush home to make sure that I had chance to bid for a phone on E-Bay before the auction ended. I managed to get in time and win the auction. I managed to get a camera phone for £18. It is t eh same one that Devil boy has got. I am really looking forward to getting a funky phone again.


I quickly rushed out to get my bag back and when I got back I sorted out Wolfies dinner. Devil boy was not feeling well at all so he was not able to get a lot done unfortunately.

It was my night to bathe and put Wolfie to bed though. I nearly read until Wolfie was asleep. He was so tired that it was not long. I caught him in time so he did a big dive at the door shortly after I left and I think it took about an hour and a half before he settled. I am still going to be tough if he wakes during the night. I really have to keep tough, as that is the only way to break the cycle.

I was browsing the Internet when I saw some very sad news about one of my friends. She has had some very bad news about her pregnancy. T seems so unfair. She is such a lovely lady and I really hoped that everything would go well for her.

I have just spent the night cleaning the kitchen and putting things away. I am going to make sure that I get an early night tonight, as Devil boy is really tired now. He is thankfully feeling better. I will just write a little bit for an article that I am working on a the moment before feeding the twins and going to bed for what will no doubt be an interesting night shift.
