Sadbh needed nursing every couple of hours through out the night. Once she was fed, she fell back to sleep very quickly each time.
We had an early start to the day and I received my morning wake up call from Sadbh tapping me on my shoulder.
To help with Sadbh’s possible allergy to pollen, we have been using a humidifier in our room.
Sadbh’s humidifier is designed to look like a frog, and when Sadbh saw it this morning, she started to make the baby sign for “frog”.
We had a fun day planned, so we needed to get up and running as soon as possible.
Sadbh had a delicious breakfast and got some playtime with daddy while Katie got ready. She loves playing with her new tea set, and the duck puppet that she received from Katie’s uncle and aunt from Portland. She even figured out how to get her hand into the duck.
We had planned a trip over to Bainbridge Island for the day, and just as we were getting ready to head to the ferry, we noticed that Sadbh was getting sleepy, so we decided to do trach care and take the next ferry.
Sadbh was a superstar and trach care was very straightforward.
She slept on for anther 30 minutes or so, and once she woke up, we loaded the car and headed off downtown to the ferry terminal.
Our timing was perfect and the ferry left within a couple of minutes after we boarded.
Sadbh got in some great posing with Seattle and the Space Needle in the background, and was very happy with the wind blowing in her face.
The crossing was quick, and traffic was light once we arrived on Bainbridge Island.
We were headed towards the Bloedel Reserve on the far end of Bainbridge Island.
The Bloedel Reserve is public garden that started 1950’s and opened to the public in 1988.
We all had a fantastic time, and Sadbh got to practice her walking through the lawns.
At one point as Katie was carrying Sadbh through a wooded trail, Sadbh gave a group of oncoming women the biggest smile ever. They were smitten and all three started to take photos of our little princess.
After a few hours exploring the gardens, we headed off to Poulsbo for a wander and a dinner.
Sadbh had a great time flirting with the staff and the kids at the next table. After she was done eating, Nini brought her for a walk around the restaurant and Sadbh made a b-line for a table of diners. They were all doting over her when she blew them a big kiss, and they melted. It was quite the sight to see.
Sadbh was very affectionate on the way home in the ferry. She could not stop giving Nana kisses. It was adorable to see and Nana was over the moon with all the attention that she was getting from Sadbh.
We arrived home just in time for Sadbh’s bedtime. She was exhausted tired after such a fun day. Just before bed, Sadbh had a little snack and a bath. Unfortunately she had a coughing fit just before her bath and threw up all her food.
She was right as rain after her bath, and once she had her pajamas on, she fell into a nice deep sleep.
Larissa is back on shift tonight, so Sadbh is sleeping in her own room. Hopefully she will have a nice long sleep.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
