Malach woke up for a night feed but I fell asleep before I managed to give Elbereth a night feed. I will have to make a better effort tonight.
I got up nice and early and managed to have breakfast, clean up a bit and change and feed the twins before the safety bloke came around.
He had a good look around the flat and he left some things for us. He left one highchair but he told me that he would get another one sorted out for the second twin. He also gave us a bath mat, a tap protector, socket protectors, video protector, medicine cabinet, fridge and oven lock, film to stop glass shattering in doors and a smoke alarm. He fitted the smoke alarm for us. I feel much safer knowing that three is a smoke alarm that works. The battery will last for 10 years.
After he went I fed the twins before going out. I wanted to get some more formula just in case we ran out while Devil boy was away. I got some other things while I was out though. I got a proper changing mat for the twins, lamps for the kitchen and my bedroom (I will get up and read while giving the twins their night time feed) a present for my friends daughter, a mirror for Devil boy and I treated myself to a cute vanity case that I thought was really funky.
The shopping trip went really well. I got a snack form the health food shop and the twins were fussed over in the shop and after I fed them I went to Tesco. While I was in there I had a chat to an elderly woman. She was so sweet. He made a fuss over the twins and we had a really nice chat. She told me that I was a true Aberdonain as I got two babies for the price of one.
I managed to get some reading done on the way home. I have not had the chance to do so but I must try and get some done tonight as I really enjoyed what I read while I was out.
When I got home Devil boy told me that my health visitor had phoned and told him that I should give the twins a bottle as well for their night feed. I will not though as I am happy with how they are doing. They are putting on weight and going up the chart. Which incidentally is still not the breastfeeding chart. Elbereth is not interested in her bottle so I do not see why she would be interested in another feed being from a bottle. I will ask her why I should give and extra bottle-feed the next time I see her.
I then wrapped my friend’s daughters present and I took that around to her. I stayed and chat for a while before coming home. Devil boy had made dinner for when I got back and after that he bathed Wolfie and put him to bed while I cleaned up and did the dishes. Wolfie settled off to sleep with no problems at all tonight. I think that is a really good sign. Hopefully it will mean that he is definitely back to normal.
I am going to make sure that I get an early night tonight so that I am able to get up and give them their night feed. All I have to do is clean up a little, put the nappies on the line and change and give the twins their night feed. Hopefully Elbereth will take some of her feed.
