今天我们家的小Qoo 已经31个星期啦！真的是一眨眼，一个星期一个星期就这样晃过去了。这个星期小Qoo 的daddy 好忙，因为公司有 conference 的关系～所以今天晚上他的daddy 会在 MBS 那里 set up 到好迟好迟才会回来～ 所以我一早就跟他说：今晚不要等 daddy跟你说晚安了哦！daddy 很忙，会很迟才回～你自己先睡哦！虽然不知道他听不听得懂，但是感觉跟他说了后，他还真的静了下来，直到半夜12点多他daddy 回来后他又再开始动了。真的搞不懂，哈哈哈。。他们是真的明白我们说什么的吗？
好像昨天，他懂得特别特别厉害，一整天都属于亢奋状态，也不知道为什么～哈哈。。老公都感觉得到～当他躺在我的肚子上的时候，老公的头还会一直被小Qoo 踢到跳起来，哈哈哈。。之后因为实在懂得太厉害了～老公叫我播小Qoo 平常听的 Mozart 的音乐～ 虽然一开始还是会动，但真的过了一段时间后，他就比较安静下来了～但是还是偶尔会动一动。
之后我们要睡觉了，老公就对着肚子跟小Qoo 说：小Qoo～ 睡觉了哦！你不要再一直踢mummy了哦～这样子mummy 睡不着的啊！乖乖哦～
之后很神奇的她就乖乖的真的不踢了，好奇怪哦！老公就称赞小Qoo 好听话～
hmm～～～真不明白，他们难道真的听得懂我们说什么吗？哈哈。。虽然老师叫我们要跟肚子里的宝宝多说话，因为他们可以感觉得到那个讯息～但是我还是半信半疑他们真的感受得到吗？可是一次又一次的实验证明，真让我开始有点相信了～哈哈哈。。
明天就是小Qoo daddy 公司的conference了～虽然老公在忙，但是心里还是会一直挂着他的小宝贝～哼！我都开始有点吃醋了呢！哈哈哈哈。。。老公跟小Qoo说：daddy 忙完今天，明天后，后天星期六daddy mummy 就带你去daddy 公司的 D&D 去吃好料哦！
然后下个星期一呢！就是我觉得还蛮担心的验血日了～听说不会马上就知道结果，好像还要等多一个星期才会知道。唉～～那不是还要提心吊胆一个星期哦？哈哈哈～～希望一切安好，这次去看小Qoo 她还是一样健康可爱哦！
This week, your amazing growing baby is around 3 pounds and 17 inches tall.
With each added layer of baby fat, your baby's wrinkly raisin skin starts to look more and more like it will when they're born.
The heavy news: you can expect your miracle-gro muffin to gain about a half a pound of weight per week from now until about two weeks before birth.
Your baby's developing immune system has made some serious gains over the past weeks getting them in full gear to face our disease-ridden world o’ wonders.
Even so, a large majority of your child’s immune strength will need to come from your milk in the first year.
Their cute little noggin’ (which could already be covered with luscious locks or just purty peach fuzz), is still soft because the skull bones have not yet fused together.
As disturbing as having an infant with a soft cracked skull sounds, it's pretty much a necessity for passage through the birth canal during labor.
If your baby is in your birth canal for an extended period, they'll come out with a bit of a cone head, as a result of their skull plates being compressed while in your rather snug birth canal. It's normal, harmless and their skull will even out into a more round, less cone-heady shape in the next few weeks.
Oh, and FYI: your baby may have that “soft spot” on their head for up to eighteen months after birth.
And how's mom doing?
Here’s a good way to deal with your mounting impatience (and distract you from your discomfort): map out your plan of action for the big day.
It’s an important and necessary step that’s both soothing and fun.
If you think about it, planning all the details of your labor now can be a real saving grace once the chaos and intensity of labor kicks in.
Planning a hospital birth:
*These guidelines also apply for a birthing center birth*
Pack a bag with a couple of changes of loose comfortable clothes (bikinis if you want to be hopping in and out of the shower/bath), reading material, music that you think would inspire/relax you during labor, and a camera.
Have an infant car seat, blankets, newborn diapers, wipes and a going-home outfit ready for your brand new baby's journey home.
If you haven't yet, choose who you want present during labor and whether you're going to have a doula/midwife who will mediate potentially pushy medical staff on your behalf - in order to support you and uphold your birth plan throughout labor.
Get to know your driving route to the hospital or birthing center like the back of your hand.
Make a list of typical medical procedures you're comfortable with and which ones you'd like to avoid during labor and birth. Type it up and print out the list to give it to your medical caregiver as soon as possible.
Start researching your pain management options. Read weeks 35, 36 and 37 for more detailed information and labor tips.
Include a post-birth plan to prevent your baby from being taken away from you, ensure that they're not given formula or a bottle, which can induce "nipple confusion" and make breastfeeding more difficult.
