Katie’s wake up call this morning was in the form of
Sadbh jumping on top of her from her bed. She was after a good night and woke
up full of energy.
It was a very wet day so Sadbh was housebound all
day. She did not mind and spent the entire morning in her pajamas.
For some reason or other she would only wear one sock
but she was happy and she looked very funny.
Katie and I had an appointment for a ”pre-birth” tour
at the hospital but unfortunately we could not find anyone to watch Sadbh.
Katie stayed at home with Sadbh while I went on the tour and Sadbh was thrilled
to have Mommy all to herself. The two ladies had a fantastic time playing and
having fun.
It was very surreal being back at the hospital where
Sadbh was born and to hear the cries of a newborn baby a couple of rooms
away.
The nurse that was guiding the tour went through all
the details of what to expect after the baby arrives and she downplayed what
happens when things don’t go as planned. Memories of the day when Sadbh was
born came rushing back to me and I knew exactly what all the equipment was for
and exactly where the NICU was located.
Later in the day Katie and I managed trach care and
then it was off down to the basement with Sadbh for some more fun with her
toys. We have a nice old wooden chest in which we store a lot of Sadbh’s cuddly
toys. She found a pair of swimming goggles and decided that the wooden chest
would be the ocean and off she went for a dive.
Oddly enough, this time last year we had Sadbh's friends, Cora and Luna over for Thanksgiving and both Sadbh and Cora spent a great deal of time in the
wooden chest.
After dinner we watched The Lego Movie. We thought it
might be a little old for her but she loved it and immediately wanted to play
with her Lego’s as soon as it was finished.
She was exhausted when it came time for bed however
she was wired to the moon so it took a while to calm her down and get her off
to sleep.
She was not too excited about having a nurse working
tonight and she told Mommy that she was going to sit up and stare at the nurse
when she woke up in the morning. Katie explained that it would be nicer to be
polite to Harjinder and that she could ask to be allowed upstairs as soon as
she wakes up. Sadbh liked this idea and agreed that she would do this.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
