Definitely not the prettiest description of the babies this week. Crazy that they're mango sized. I'm still feeling good, growing and stretching, and the little ones are becoming very active. We will have more pics next week after our 20 wk ultrasound! :) After the Christmas tree fiasco (See below) I'll keep this post nice and short!
Your Baby: Week 19
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.
