I can't believe it, we're half-way there!! I'm becoming more and more impatient and anxious to meet the little bean in there! I've been feeling some kicks over the last few days, it's really awesome. Kyle even got to feel it the other night!! Here's the status report...
You're at the half-way mark -- Congratulations!! Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. She's about 10 inches from head to heel— the length of a banana. A greasy white substance called vernix caseosa coats your baby's entire body to protect her skin during its long submersion in amniotic fluid. She's also producing meconium, a black, sticky substance made of dead cells, digestive secretions, and swallowed amniotic fluid, which will accumulate in her bowels and end up in her first diaper. Again, too much information. I love hearing all about my bean's development, but I would be fine not knowing what "meconium" is and how it looks etc. Ew.
