I can't believe I'm in week 31 already! Time has flown by and she'll be here in 9 weeks.
We are patiently awaiting the arrival of Maria, Punky's daughter who should be here anytime this week.
This week Sofia's body and brain continue to make the connections that enable her systems to work as a whole. Her lungs are now more developed but are not completely mature. Trillions of brain connections are developing and she is already using all five senses.
I can definitely tell when she's awake and when she's not. She has a pretty defined pattern by now. She wakes up at about 9am to 10 am and then again in the afternoon from around 2pm to 3 pm. At night she's also awake but I don't keep track of the time :)
I went to a breast feeding class last week, it was very helpful and full of great tips. She recommended wiping the baby's mouth after every feeding to minimize ear infections and get them used to a cleaning routine after eating... I will need to remember that, makes sense.
This week we are going to take it easy. Last weekend was pretty hectic with the neighbourhood clean up event we had with Keep Victoria Beautiful. So we'll stay home this weekend and catch up on housekeeping and get Queso and Reese their shots. Next one, we'll be in Dallas crib shopping. I heard deliveries of cribs are up to 12 to 16 weeks so hopefully we can just pick one up and bring it back. I also need to pick up some nursery bedding so we can paint the room and finish up that nursery :)

Hi!
Yes, time flies by so quickly, but you have worked hard enough and you are almost ready to welcome Sofía. So, relax and patiently wait these 9 more weeks. Meanwhile continue learning more skills and good baby handling practices; nevertheless have the phone close to you to call mom just in case. Mother’s have some other practical tips already proven to help you in specific situations.
Love
That's good that she's scheduled, maybe she'll be a scheduled napper (unlike mine), and give you some breaks. Good luck with the mouth wiping, lol. You'll barely have time to feed yourself. Then when the 2nd one comes, you let them eat off the floor and don't care if they bruth their teeth. Just kidding (sometimes), lol.
