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.

Marvelous Mango
This week baby M is the size of a mango. She is the cutest mango I've ever seen! I'm sure that more intesting things are going on in there besides this week's description which is below, but hey everything, even the slightly gross things are amazing and important to Joel and me. Last night we were talking about how we can't belive we are 1 week away from being half way through. Time continues to fly! I hope you all enjoy the week 19 update
