19 Weeks

We're almost 1/2 way there! The baby's busy tumbling around and practicing all of its gymnastic moves. It better take advantage of all the space it has now while it's small. It's about to get a little more cramped in there every day. Here's what thenest.com says the baby's been up to:
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.
