A very busy day while feeling exhausted

The night shift went quite well. Wolfie took a long time to settle unfortunately but Elbereth drank all of her bottle, which was really funky.

They both took good feeds before they settled nicely. For some reason I woke lots during the night. Malach woke up during the night so I was able to give him his night feed. Elbereth did not wake up so I woke her up to give her a feed. She was not impressed and she not only did not take her feed but she then protested at having been woken up.

The rest of y night was broken but I managed to get some sleep before I got up at just gone 9 to get breakfast and get ready to go out. I then got the twins ready to take out to the baby massage after I’d had breakfast.

For some reason I thought the baby massage was at a different place to what it was but thankfully I saw the woman that runs it so I was able to get to he group only a little bit late. At least I got some extra exercise.

Th3 baby massage went really well and the twins really loved it. The woman who runs it gave Malach a massage while I massaged Elbereth. It was really nice and I am hoping to make time to give them a massage as often as possible. Think once a week to begin with should be funky.

I then rushed home, had some lunch and then got ready to go out to rhyme and time. I changed the pram that I was using and Devil boy got Wolfie ready to take out. I put Elbereth in the baby carrier and Malach in the pram and I then went out to get to the group.

I was only about 10 minutes late for the Rhyme and time. I needed to feed the twins though, so I sat on the chair and fed them while singing the rhymes to Wolfie. He sat for some of them in the circle and then he came and joined me for some of the, before going of to play.

Then had a nice chat before we went. Though by the end of the group I was feeling tired and a few people noticed it. My friend as well gave me a hug at the end though which was really nice and I did not realise it at the time but it was just what I needed. It has been very much non-stop recently. It has also been non-stop all day and it only stops when I go to bed.


I had a really nice walk home and Wolfie did really well. I do not think it will be too long before he can walk both ways but the system that we are using is also working well at the moment.

When I got home I had something to eat before I lay on the sofa to feed the twins. I relaxed for some time before I decided that I wanted a cream cake. I felt more revived so I set off and took the stuff that needed to be recycled and got some things for us. I saw one of my friends while I was out but we did not have the chance to speak.

When I got back I had a quick browse of the Internet before Devil boy got Wolfies bath ready and I got his room ready for his bedtime. I then bathed Wolfe and put him to bed. I managed to read more than I usually did before I had to leave him. He is not settling quickly tonight. I hope that his sleeping starts to improve soon.

I have decided though that tonight I am going to get what I need to get done as soon as possible so that I can relax and hopefully get an early night as I really need a good rest. Though for the short times that I have managed to rest during the day I feel much better for it.
