Sadbh woke up twice throughout the
night and had a quick feeding each time. Kind of like a vampire.
By 6:30, she was ready to start her
day, regardless if anyone else was ready or not.
Ali-Baba and Kirk sold their house
and had a yard sale to get rid of a bunch of stuff before they move, so Katie
headed out to help quite early.
This meant that Sadbh and I got to
hang out and spend the morning together having breakfast and watching Sadbh’s
baby sign DVD.
We had a fantastic morning and after
breakfast both of us got to play with all of Sadbh’s toys in the living room.
Later on we Skyped with Nini’s sister
Kati in Munich, until I noticed a strong odor indicating that it was time to
change a certain young girls nappy.
Sadbh was extremely affectionate to
me. I’ve been asking for kisses for the last two weeks and have gotten
none. But this morning, she made
up for all that and showered me with kisses. It was adorable.
Later on, when Sadbh started to get
tired, we figured it was time to manage trach care.
As Nini prepared the cleaning supplies
and I got Sadbh ready for her bath, she started to do the baby sign for
bathing.
Every day she amazes us with new
signs that she learns.
It was the first time that both Nini
and I worked together on trach care and Nini managed the cleaning.
Sadbh was in a deep sleep throughout,
and Nini made it all look very easy.
I could sense that she was extremely
nervous, but she did an incredible job and was very calm and thorough.
Sadbh slept for another hour or so,
and shortly after she woke up, Katie arrived home from the yard sale.
Sadbh got to check out Bellevue
Square for the first time ever and I think I made a huge mistake bringing her
there.
She had a fantastic time and was
waving and smiling at everyone she met.
It was surprisingly busy, considering
that it was such a beautiful day and Sadbh was pointing out all the babies that
she seen. She was very excited and every so often she insisted that we would
bring us to some of these babies. It’s funny how as parents that we start up
conversations with other parents, where before we would have kept to ourselves.
Things got a little bit tense for me
when we walked though the shoe and then the makeup department in Nordstrom’s. In
the shoe department Sadbh got very excited and started pointing at all the
shoes that she liked. As we passed through the makeup department all the ladies
smiled at Sadbh and Sadbh was more than delighted to return the smile.
Katie had a very proud look on her
face, while I ended up looking terrified.
Sadbh also noticed a bunch of
balloons in the distance, and when Katie brought her over to see what they were
for, a very kind little girl gave Sadbh one of her balloons since she had two.
Sadbh had a great day and it was a
lot of fun for me to get to spend the entire morning with her.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
