Baby's now the size of a mango!
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 get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature.
Almost halfway there! Enjoying this portion of my pregnancy very much! Not sleeping as much as I used too but I am thankful for all the sleep I am getting now for that will be changing very soon. Getting wider for sure, feeling my hips and legs grow. Thought I felt some movement last night lying on the couch but it is not definite.
