My Wonderful and Loving Mother

I complained to mum that I have no time to wash all the hands me down clothes that was given by friends during a family dinner recently and mum immediately offered to help me wash them. She is free during this period before the new Bedok Hawker Centre open. Felin and I was amazed at the amount of clothes that are handed down to us and I felt its somehow exaggerated. Babies will outgrow these clothes so fast that they may not be able to wear some of the clothes even the 2nd time.

Mum even ironed the clothes before stacking them up. She is such a wonderful mother but groomed a lazy boy like me. I think its my turn to work for my own children in future.

Felin entered into her 31st week today and her tummy is really big. The babies are still growing fast and kicking her more forcefully now. I'm worried about her health and my heart ache when I see her carrying such a big tummy but I'm also worry about the babies that haven't stayed long enough and praying that they are still comfortable in Felin's womb and not tempted to come out yet.

So what is happening to the babies at week 31? Let see from the babycentre website...

During your 31st week of pregnancy, your baby's body and brain continue to make the connections that enable her systems to work as a whole. Also when you’re 31 weeks pregnant:

• When you’re 31 weeks pregnant, your baby weighs more than 3 pounds and is 11 inches long from crown to rump, about the length of a bunch of bok choy.
• Your baby's reproductive system continues to develop. In boys, testicles are moving from the kidneys through the groin to the scrotum. In girls, her clitoris is visible, but her labia are still growing to cover it.
• Your baby's lungs are now more developed but are not completely mature.
• As trillions of brain connections develop, your baby is already using all five senses.
• You might notice that your baby has more defined periods of being awake (and active) or asleep
