I
woke Sadbh up at 7am by tickling her belly with my beard and I was pleasantly
surprised when she started giggling rather than getting annoyed. It seemed to
work so I kept it up until she could take no more.
She
had her three year check up this morning so we had to get the ball rolling
quickly so she could have breakfast and make it to her appointment on time.
On
the way Sadbh asked Katie if she was going to see Dr. Inglis. When Katie said
no that she was going to visit her pediatrician Sadbh responded with “yes, I do
have a lot of doctors, don’t I?”
When
she arrived at the doctor office she was very shy but it did not take long for
her to come out of her shell.
She
weighed in at 32 pounds and measured 39.25 inches. The doctor was pleased to
see that Sadbh is hitting all her developmental milestones and told her to keep
up the good work.
We
dropped Mommy to work and Sadbh was a little sad to say good-bye, but she
handled it well, gave Katie a big kiss and sent her off to work.
Once
we arrived home it was time for some left over birthday cake as a treat, which
she devoured and then insisted on more. After trach care Sadbh felt very tired
and wanted to take a nap. She slept for an hour and fifteen minutes with her
trach cap on and seemed quite comfortable. She definitely had strider in her
breathing but was not under any distress.
After
lunch we headed over to Ballard to check out a motorcycle show but
unfortunately the weather was terrible and only a few bikes showed up. Rather
than get Sadbh wet checking out the few bikes we headed home and picked Mommy
up along the way. Sadbh was so excited to see Mommy and could not stop telling
her about her trip around town in the car.
On
the way home we called my sister in New Zealand and Sadbh sang a happy birthday
song to her one-year old cousin, Zoe. It was very special. She said to aunt
Trish, “I know, why don’t you come over to my house and we can have some cake.”
Sadbh’s
evening was spent with her cousins and after dinner the kids had fun playing
and watching “Free to Be You and Me” in the basement. Uncle Karby told everyone
a bedtime story just before Sadbh headed to bed and after hugs and kisses she
went to sleep.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
