In just 1 short week we are finding out if we will have a son or a daughter (weird saying those words!) I am completely craving anything spicy. Someone pass the Tabasco! Baby is a Mango this week!
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.
