The night shift went well. I only managed to give Malach his night feed though. I managed to give Elbereth extra feeds during the morning though to make up for it. Wolfie slept until 7am though. I think his sleeping is defiantly back on track though and I am so happy that he no longer uses a dummy now.
I got up shortly after Wolfie was up and made breakfast for us both. He managed to eat some of it though and I got him changed before changing and feeing the twins.
After Devil boy got up I put some washing in the machine and sorted the clothes on the line. Devil boy then took Wolfie over to his grandmas.
I decided that after I had fed the twins I would just sit and read for a bit. I do not get the chance to relax and read much at all and I never get the chance at night. I managed to read over a chapter and a half before Devil boy got back. I am reading the Star Wars book about Han Solo. It is very funky and I am really enjoying reading about Han Solo’s youth.
I had also managed to sort out the Tesco order while Devil boy was out. There were some items missing so I was able to get something sorted before I had to go out to get the twins weighed.
When I got to the clinic both health visitors commented about Malachs dry skin and recommended that I take him to see the doctor to get some new cream. The then weighed them both. Elbereth has gone from 4.86 kg (10lb 11 ½ oz) to 5.22 kg (11lb 8 ½ oz) and Malach has gone from 5.2 kg (11lb 7 ½ oz) to 5.62 kg (12 lb 6 ½ oz) I am so happy about how well they have done. They are now back on the bottom of the baby growth chart. They are both just above the 0.4th centile. I am confident that they will continue to improve and go up the chart. It has taken such a weight off my mind and it has made the two hourly feeds, night feeds and having to supplement their diet with one bottle worth it.
I then got some things from the shop and ordered a magazine that I like to read from the local shop before getting home. When I got home I needed to sort out the items that were missing from my Tesco order. The person that was due to phone back didn’t but thankfully I was able to get something sorted out the missing items will be delivered tomorrow.
Wolfie has been very cranky though while I was out and tried to escape out of the garden twice as well. I then took him to the park. He was happy to have a run about there and go on the swings. He did not complain when it was time to go home either and was in a better mood when we got home.
I got him something for dinner and I replied to a friends E-Mail before sorting out his room and bathing him.
I read to him once I had got him dressed for the night but he did not settle off to begin with. Devil boy went through to him and managed to get him settled off with no problems.
I then had a nice relaxing night before cleaning the kitchen, getting the washing in from the line and putting out the wash load that was in the machine.
I have just given the twins their night feed and I am going to have a quick read before crashing.
