Sadbh spent most of the night
with us and I spent the night sleeping on a strip of the bed that measured no
more than 2 inches from the edge. It seemed that every time I would try to gain
any extra room, I would be met with a kick or a shove from Sadbh.
She made up for it when I woke
up and she leaned over, gave me a kiss and make the baby sign for “I love you
daddy”.
Sadbh had a big breakfast and
watched her baby signing DVD for a short while. She eventually got bored of the
DVD and could not wait to read the new books that she received from Pat. One of
the books is about farm animals and it includes a panel that plays the sounds
of each of the animals that are featured in the book.
Sadbh loved it and could not
put it down.
Trach care came early today as
Sadbh was very tired.
She was very restless during
trach care and I had to work hard to keep the trach in while Katie cleaned
around her neck and stoma site.
After she settled down she
managed to sleep on for an hour and a half and woke up in a great mood.
The boat was fixed yesterday
and since the weather was fantastic we headed out with Neil and Pat for a
couple of hours.
Sadbh was delighted to be on
the boat even though she had to wear her life jacket. Once we dropped anchor
down by Sewart Park, Sadbh got to run around the boat and play with her toys.
She waved at all the other boaters and had the biggest grin on her face.
It was a fun way to spend the
day and she did not want to leave when we docked the boat back in the marina.
Later in the evening we headed
over to Theresa and Orla’s for dinner and Sadbh got to hang out with all her
friends.
As soon as she met Cormac, she
immediately tried her best to get a kiss from him. He was obviously playing
hard to get, but that did not deter Sadbh. She was more determined than ever
and eventually succeeded.
It was a hectic evening for all
the kids and most of them ended up staying up long after their bed times.
They all did great and at one
point they had Gerry pulling them around the garden in a red wagon.
Sadbh did start to get very
tired towards the end and at one point got very cranky.
Her Godfather Derek’s sister,
Sandra, was visiting from back in Ireland and Sadbh accidently head butted her.
She made up for it moments later when she blew Sandra a few kisses.
Sadbh’s eyes shut tight as soon
as she was in her car seat and she slept soundly all the way home.
I’m hoping that she sleeps much
better tonight and stays in her cot. That way Katie and I should get a somewhat
decent night sleep.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
