Sadbh’s update – August 4th, 2012


Sadbh woke up shortly after we got to bed last night and since she was fussy, she joined us in bed for the rest of the night.
Around 6am, I was rudely awoken by a number of kicks in the back.
Sadbh was hogging most of the bed, with Katie on the edge on her side and me on the edge on mine, Sadbh was sleeping across the bed and she was kicking like crazy.
She eventually woke up and it was time to start the day.

I brought Sadbh for a walk through the neighborhood after breakfast and she loved it. I left her stroller at home and carried all her equipment, which turned out to be not such a good decision.
Sadbh did not want to walk for long and ended up being carried after a couple of blocks.
The combined weight of Sadbh and all her equipment, along with the hot sun beating down on us, gave me quite the workout.
I never thought to weigh her all her necessary equipment before and it turns out that it weighs 27 pounds or 12 kg’s. Since she weighs 20 pounds, the hike through the Central District tuned out to be quite the task.

Audrey worked for a few hours today and arrived shortly after we got home from our walk.
Sadbh was excited to see her but since she was starting to get tired, it was time for trach care.
Everything went great and Sadbh slept for an hour and a half afterwards.
Once she woke up, it was time for lunch and then off up to Madrona to watch the Blue Angels
She got very excited when they buzzed overhead, and thankfully Audrey brought Sadbh’s ear protection along.

Sadbh had a fun evening and got to spend it playing with Dylan. Dylan showed Sadbh how to prepare some food in the outside kitchen and Sadbh was very impressed with his skills. 

By the end of the night, both kids were up way past their bedtime and despite this they still so much energy and were having such a great time together.  I’m sure they will both sleep well tonight.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
