	Week 31: The fingernails may reach the end of the hands. The retina of the baby's eyes can now dilate and contract in response to light. Due to the deposits of white fat underneath the skin the baby's skin is no longer red but pink. The baby weighs about 3 pounds 5 ounces (1.5 kilograms) this week.

	Week 32: Your baby's movements will peak this week. From now on they will change in quantity and quality. Most of the wrinkles may be disappearing from the baby's face, and there may be a lot of hair on the head. The weight gain has been substantial recently.
