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.) You might get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature.Those nasty leg cramps are probably making it tough to get comfortable. One way to ease the pain: Extend your leg and flex your ankle and toes toward your knees. Or enlist your partner for a calf (and back!) massage. Good news: Your now-bulging belly should get you a little more compassion from everyone around you. Feeling great! I am about to head out to LA for five days! This is Baby Higgins third flight (Dallas, Miami and LA). Baby Higgins will also be flying to Pittsburgh and Las Vegas before its born. Talk about skymiles!
Currently not fitting into many shorts or jeans. Time to go shopping. I might head to Old Navy today to pick up shorts and capris.
