| 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 actually get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature.
Sorry, no picture this week. Life has gotten a bit busier this last week, and I seem to have come down with a nasty head cold as a result. Even took the day off of work today. But thankfully, you still seem to be moving around and each day I feel a little bit better.
