I'm a little late posting but it's been a rough week to start with. I went to see my sister this last weekend in PA. We went to Philly on Sunday and didn't get back until late so I stayed another night and got up early to drive back to work. It was a rough morning... I had to stop and take a nap to make it to work but I also had to call Gary to help me as well. But thankfully, I made it safely to work. :)
Today I woke up feeling dizzy so I stayed in bed and eventually it went away but it was really weird.
Finally, here's what the sites have to say
My Baby:
This week marks the halfway point in your baby's development. And right around now, nature gives her a spa treatment--a white, cream-cheesy moisturizer called vernix coats every inch of her skin, keeping it smooth and wrinkle-free for the next 20 weeks as she floats in a warm bath of amniotic fluid. She'll still be covered in vernix when she's born; your doctor or midwife will wipe it off a few moments after birth, revealing skin that's (you guessed it) baby soft.
Baby's Size: Coconut
Baby's Length: 6-6.5 in.
Baby's Weight: 9-10 oz.
How your baby's growing:
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.) (Which doesn't make sense to me since the wee one is still curled up...) He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).
