Tadhg's baby sister arrives!

Tadhg didn't want to go to bed on Tuesday evening and was up until almost 10pm which is way past his bedtime. He must have known something as only a couple of hours later, mom starting feeling contractions. Mom and dad called Baba and Auntie Kay to come over (and quickly!). Not long after mom, dad and Auntie Kay rushed to the hospital while Baba stayed behind to look after Tadhg.

A mere 20 minutes after checking in to the hospital baby Sadhbh literally jumped into the world. Mom, dad and Auntie Kay were amazed to see their beautiful new girl so quickly. Tadhg woke up in the morning to hear that he had a new baby sister. He wanted to rush to see mom and Sadhbh but they needed some rest so he went to school first.
After school, dad brought Tadhg into the hospital to see his new sister for the first time. Tadhg was amazed with his little princess and kissed, touched and held her like the gentle big brother that he is. Tadhg didn't want to leave without Sadhbh but eventually was persuaded to go home for dinner and bed.

Sadhbh's vital statistics: 6 lbs 9ozs weight, 19 inches tall.

What a day! Well done mom and Sadhbh!
