Well I just went shopping. Purchased some pressies for Minnie and Matilda and a few little bits and pieces. Wool and knitting needles for tomorrow. This is the last day the nurses take care of naps and settling. Tomorrow its over to the mumma. SO last time I was here I was teaching myself to knit (knitted little Hannah a beanie!) This time I am going to knit Minnie a beanie. I found the most adorable shop 'little sparrow' and got myself some new bamboo knitting needles, some lovely green wool and I am ready to go. I got Tilly a few little presents too. Couldn't resist.
Today has not been fantastic on the sleep side of things for Minnnie. She managed only 1 hour this morning. Sounds great, right? Not cool when the babies are resettled and resettled until they have spent a total of two hours in their cot. Its heart breaking and very difficult for the nurses with a hallway full of upset babies and crying mumma's! I felt terrible for the nurses, being watched by anxious mums. Not an deal working environment. The worse kind of micromanagement but totally understandable....I am guilty of being one of those mums......'don't let my Minnie cry for more than 2 minutes or I will evil eye you!!' 'have you put on her music' You can imagine.
ah well, I am sure they are used to it. I made sure to thank all the nurses especially Linda for doing such a great job.
We had a group session this morning about settling and the whole feed, play sleep routine. I could have kicked myself a few times for not remembering some of the things we learnt. I guess thats why I am here and I feel a little less silly for coming now.
