"Vernix caseosa, a greasy white substance made of lanugo, oil and dead skin cells (yum) now coats baby's skin, shielding it from the amniotic fluid. (Picture yourself after a nine-month bath, and the need for protection makes sense.) You might actually get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature."
Okay, I think they could have come up with something a little more exciting than this. LOL, but oh well I guess. I'm 19 weeks pregnant and my baby is now the size of a mango! Holy shit! He or she is getting so big! Just four more days, guys. Only four more days and I will be able to post the sex of my little one! I feel like it's taken forever to get to this point.
I've been a little worried about my babe having his or her legs crossed. We wouldn't know the gender if that's the case, but this baby moves around so much I don't think it will be too much of a problem. LOL! It's the most wonderful feeling in the world. I can't wait to see the babe again! Last time I saw it I was 10 and 1/2 weeks pregnant and it was just a little bean.
I've been getting leg cramps lately and that is a common pregnancy symptom, but damn it hurts! I hope it doesn't last for too long. Anyway, thanks for reading. I know I probably bore you all with my weekly preggo updates, but I'm really excited. =)
