It took forever to get Sadbh to bed last night but
she slept soundly and woke up at eight. She was in a great mood all morning and
was eagerly awaiting the arrival home of her baby brother.
We arrived home shortly after noon and Sadbh was
jumping with excitement as soon as she saw us. She could not wait to give each
of us a kiss and a hug and before we knew it she was sitting with Cillian on
her lap, supervised of course.
She is definitely showing strong signs of wanting to
be noticed and throughout the day she kept putting on shows for us all. We are
doing our best to make sure that she has nothing to be afraid of and that she
has a very important role in looking after and caring for Cillian.
Before trach care we Skyped with Sadbh’s cousin,
Fionn, back in Cork.
Sadbh was very keen to check out the new toys he got
for Christmas and she got to show off her new brother.
Later she asked Katie when Cillian was going to grow.
After getting Cillian settled in, it was time for a
bath and then trach care. Sadbh kept blowing kisses to me the entire time and
as soon as we were finished Katie headed up to bed for a nap. Nana and Granddad
headed out for a walk and Sadbh sat close to me watching a couple of cartoons
while I snuggled with Cillian for a while. The house was nice and peaceful for
a while until Sadbh noticed that Katie was missing and she got upset.
The rest of the evening was spent playing and by
bedtime she was absolutely exhausted. It took a while to get her to bed and she
put up quite the battle. By quarter to night she gave in and dropped into a
deep sleep.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian.
