19wks

19 weeks! Almost half way there!! 21 weeks to go!!
We can't wait till the 30th to hopefully find out what we are having!
I am feeling the baby move alot now. Last night i even felt it w/my my hand on my tummy!

Vernix caseosa a greasy white substance made of languno, 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.
* Your baby has the same awake and sleep patterns of a newborn. He has a favorite position for sleep and recognizable active and rest periods.
* Throughout baby's body, nerves are being coated with a fatty substance called myelin, which insulates the nerves so that impulses can flow smoothly.
* Scalp hair becomes apparent this week. It has sprouted and continues to grow.
* The milk teeth buds have already developed and over the next few days the buds for the permanent teeth will begin to form behind the milk teeth.
* If baby is female the uterus starts to develop. If you're having a girl, the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes are in place.
* If it's a boy, the genitals are distinct and recognizable.
* Your baby is swallowing amniotic fluid and his or her kidneys are making urine.
* Your little one's size is around 6.02 inches (15.3cm) and 8.47 ounces (240gm).
