Hello my little Mango! You’ve graduated to a tropical fruit size! Happy Week 19! We’re almost halfway there darling! I’m getting really excited as well as the jitters. Daddy and I are trying to get things ready for your arrival. We recently learn that this is what people call nesting!

As I mentioned last week, my taste buds are coming back and I can finish bigger portions now. They say whatever I eat now will be the foods you’ll enjoy eating, so I’m going to load up on veggies from now on! I’ll be making you yummy and healthy baby food once you’re able to eat solid foods.

I’ve been getting my weekly shots every Wednesday morning, so I’m visiting the hospital more often. While I wait, I tend to admire people’s strollers and car seats. lol I can’t wait to go shopping for your baby gear. There’s just way too many choices nowadays!

Baby’s now the size of a mango!
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.)
