Sometimes all you need is a little splash of colour!
Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world.
It's Week 34: Mummy thinks she knows how little mini habibi is lying in her tummy, and attempts to "map-the-baby". Turns out my dearest boy is the other way around with his head at the top in a Frank Breech. Turn my little murmeli, turn.
