19 Weeks
This week Baby starts bulking up and packing on "brown fat" he'll need to keep warm when he gets evicted from my uterus.
Vernix, a milky white coating that protects baby's skin, appears all over body to keep skin from getting pickled in the amniotic fluid. Baby has been dipped in yogurt. ... Under the vernix, a fuzzy layer of hair called lanugo now covers baby's body. Most of the fuzz will fall off before baby makes his grand entrance.
Baby's kidneys are fully functioning and producing urine this week. Bad news: That means there will be lots of diapers in my future. At the moment the pee just passes into the amniotic fluid.
Almost half way!!
