I haven't posted in so long I forgot my password! I have A LOT of catching up to do, but I am starting fresh with a 19 week update - almost half way!Here's whats goin on in there:
Vernix (a white cheese like protective material) forms on baby's skin with the lanugo, a soft hair covering the body. Your baby may hear your heart beating, your stomach rumbling or blood moving through the umbilical cord. He or she may even be startled by loud noises.Tiny air sacs called alveoli begin to form in lungs and the vocal chords are formed. Baby goes through the motions of crying but without air doesn't make a sound; yet. Your baby may have the same awake and sleep patterns of a newborn. Baby will have a favorite position for sleep and recognizable active and rest periods.Your baby measures about 6 inches crown to rump and weighs about 7 ounces. If it is a girl, she already has 6 million eggs! (This amount decreases to approximately one million by birth). We have an ultrasound this Thursday, but we are not finding out the gender so you will all have to wait to be surprised in January!
