So, it’s true when everyone says, “Enjoy them now, they grow up sooo fast.” It has already been three months since Sophia was born. Then she weighed seven pounds and now she weighs 12 pounds. My arm can definitely feel the difference. She has grown so quickly. She keeps outgrowing all her clothes, which is fine with me since that means we get to go shopping. Trust me, she is just like her mother when it comes to that.
Since she has been born she has seen her pediatrician three times, once a couple days after birth, another at her one-month check up, then again at her two-month checkup in which she got her first shots. I’m pretty sure I suffered more than she did. She took it like a champ.
She has been a wonderful baby. At first I didn’t get any sleep, nor did my husband, who was wonderful enough to take turns with me so I could get some sleep. Sophia ate every three hours and since I am breastfeeding that meant I was up as well. Now, three months later she sleeps through the night and eats before she goes to bed and then again when she wakes up. Which I must say is just so wonderful. I finally get my sleep. Though I have noticed that it takes time to figure out what her different cries mean. I mostly hear her “I’m bored” cry, which is basically a small whine followed by laughing once I show up and start to play with her. Patience has definitely gotten me through many nights. My favorite thing is to watch her when she is sleeping. She is just so beautiful and perfect. I love the way she looks like both Kris and myself. I feel she is a perfect combination of us. Oh yeah, she also sleeps just like her dad with one arm above her head and a pouty lip.
Being Sophia’s mommy has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am enjoying every moment that I can. From her first giggle to the first time she rolled over. She is the joy in my life and I could not imagine my life without her. I am so fortunate. I am also blessed to have such a wonderful family. I have the added bonus of having my mom here with me. She is and always will be the best mom in the world. I don’t think I could do it without her. Thank you, Ama. I can’t believe that next month she will be four months old. Where does the time go? Oh yeah, now I remember, I spent it breastfeeding.
