Here is a picture from this morning-
What is baby up to?
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.)
Weight Gain: at my last appointment I had gained 5 lbs. Not bad for almost 19 wks!
Sleep: I am still sleeping pretty well. We just got new pillows and it is even better than EVER!
How big is baby?: Average size: 6.0 in, 8.5 oz, which is about the size of a mango.
Movement: I feel the baby about 3 times a day. Usually I am relaxing and I can feel him or her.
Food cravings?: not much different, just lots of salty chips.
Gender: Still do not have a feeling one way or the other, which is strange. Usually by this point I am guessing away at what I think the baby is. Our "big" ultrasound is January 20th at 10am. We are still not finding out the gender then though. We will find out when the baby gets here.
Feeling: I am still having headaches. My doctor finally put me on some medicine to help with these. I am not a huge fan of taking medicine when pregnant but these headaches are debilitating. I have thrown up from them several times, been couch ridden a few times and just been overall miserable when I have them. This is no fun for the husband or the kids. Thank God for Jason and his amazing husband/dad abilities! He has been cooking dinner, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, bathing the kids, WHATEVER, all so I can battle my headaches. I love him :)
Health: besides the headaches I think I am doing well.
Belly Button: Still in and even deeper than before.
