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.
How far along? 19 weeks
Maternity clothes? Jeans I'm in full time. I have some shirts I can still wear though.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep? I wake up about once a night now. Though, I don't always have to get up.
Best moment this week? Disneyland of course!
Movement? Not yet. Though hello restless legs! Wow, my legs don't want to stay still anymore, especially at night.
Food cravings? Still Little Debbie, though it can be the brownies with nuts in addition to the Easter Cakes.
Gender? We still think boy because we want a girl. But, including this poll, it seems like the ratio is about 10-1 for those who pick girl over boy.
Labor signs? Nope.
What I miss? Pants will belt loops.
What I'm looking forward to? The big ultrasound tomorrow!
Weekly Wisdom: Just because Disneyland may be the happiest place on earth to you, don't expect to feel the baby move for the first time as you enter Main Street. Sadly, I don't think the baby realized it was it's first trip to Disneyland. Haha!
Milestones: None this week.
Emotions: I was in some sort of funk yesterday. I'll get in one normally every so often, but this one was bad, probably because of the added hormones.
Total weight gain/loss? Up 1 from last week, down 2 over all.
