Sadbh’s update – June 24th 2013


Sadbh slept great but would not tolerate her trach cap. It seems that she has no desire to wear it during the night anymore.

She woke up just as Helen left at 6 so it was an early start to the day.
Unfortunately, Larissa had to take today off so I stayed home from work to look after Sadbh.

She did not have much of an appetite for breakfast so as soon as she was done snacking we got down to some serious fun. She did not want Katie to leave for work however, after some distraction she did not notice her leave.

The weather was terrible so we were house bound for the day. Sadbh wanted to head down to the basement to play with some of her toys.
Upstairs we built forts out of cushions and blankets and just when Sadbh thought it could not get any better she got to Skype with Nini back in Munich. Sadbh was over the moon, as lately she has been talking non-stop about Nini. They had a great time chatting and when it came time to leave Sadbh was kissing and hugging Nini via the laptop.

It was then time for a bath and afterwards I was sure Sadbh was ready for her nap since her eyes were rolling in the back of her head. I was very wrong and Sadbh had a brilliant time playing like a monkey in her cot.

After an hour I finally gave in. Sadbh was in a funny mood and you could tell that she really needed to sleep. She kept going for another hour and a half and she finally crashed hard.
She hardly moved for an hour and fifteen minutes and woke up very upset soaking in sweat.
Sadbh wanted to snuggle so we cuddled up for an hour and a half while she slept.
Mommy came home just as Sadbh was waking up and she was so happy to see her. She jumped right out of my lap and straight into Katie’s.

We were interviewing another nanny this evening and Sadbh was very quiet. She was happy cuddling into Katie for the duration of the interview and just as we were wrapping up she got very playful. They both hit it off really well and Sadbh proceeded to run laps around the house showing off how fast she is.

The rest of the evening was spent getting ready for dinner and after that it was time for Sadbh’s second bath of the day. Trach care was next and once we were done she was quick to snuggle up with Katie before heading off to sleep.

It was a great day and twice after changing her nappies Sadbh gave me a huge hug and said “daddy, you are the best!”. The first time she sounded very sincere, however the second time she sounded like she was trying to butter me up for something. Either way it was a very pleasant surprise.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
