19 Weeks!!!

Mark,

My sweet little son, I never get tired of saying that. You are getting bigger and bigger, you are supposed to be the size of a mango but that's how big you were Monday so I'm betting your bigger now. I'm starting to feel your kicks, which it is amazing and I love feeling them even at 7:30 in the morning lol. You seem most active in the morning when I'm waking up and before I go to bed in the evening. You still seem to be low and enjoy kicking/punching/bouncing on Momma's bladder not that I mind since I love feeling you. Keep growing in there, Momma and Daddy love you so much!

Love,
Your Momma



This is what's happening in there this week: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.
