The twins also slept well and then woke up at around 7am. I fed them before getting up for breakfast.
I managed to browse the Internet for a bit before I went through and changed and fed the twins again. I decided that I would get ready and go out early for rhyme and time so that I could call in and see Devil boys grandma.
I actually managed to get out at the time that I had planned to get out and when I got up to Devil bys grandmas house I found that they were out. I was able to rest in the back garden for a bit through and I was able to change and feed Elbereth before I headed up to rhyme and time.
The group went really well and Wolfie sat on my lap happily during three of the rhymes without moving which is a record for him. He was getting tired though and by the end of the group he was begging to get a little to enthusiastic though and being a little rough. Thankfully though he was really good on the walk home and only moaned a couple of times. I think he is getting used to the long walk but I will keep to just getting him to walk one way at the moment.
Shortly after I got home I got a phone call from my health visitor., she said that as she knew that I was worried about getting the twins weighed at the clinic she could call around to our house and get the weighed here today instead of tomorrow. I thought that was a really funky idea so I told her to call around.
It turned out that it was a much better idea than I thought as while I was feeding Malach I suddenly remembered about my physiotherapy appointment and I checked when it was and saw that it was tomorrow afternoon.
She called around shortly before dinner and weighed them. They have both put on weight but not much. Malach is just on the bottom of the chart and Elbereth is slipping further off the bottom. Malach is just over 10lb though and Elbereth is just under 9lb. My health visitor is still happy and she told me that they look fine and they are at least putting on weight. She asked me if I minded her contacting my GP as they have dropped off the chart but she did say that she is going to contact someone and get some breastfeeding charts for them. She says that it might not look so bad on that chart.
She advised me though to start giving them a nightly feed. I will have to wake them up but she told me that there are most calories in the night than the rest of the day. I am going to try and get an early morning feed and see if that works just as well. I am also going to make sure that I drink lots of juice as I have lapsed with the amount of water and juice that I have been drinking.
I am not feeling so bad this time though which is really funky. I think that was because my health visitor came out to our house. I think I would not hae felt so good if I’d have been at the baby clinic. Hopefully we will get them to put on some more weight though but as long as they just keep on putting on weight then that will be at least something.
After dinner Devil boy put Wolfie to bed. He did cry for some time but he settled off to sleep while I was having a nice soak in the bath. I thought it would be nice to get my hair sorted out before the physiotherapy appointment tomorrow.
The night has gone really quickly. All I have done is feed the twins and browse the Internet. All I have to do now is have a quick clean up in the kitchen and change and feed the twins. If I get chance I will also reply to one of my fiends E-Mails.
