How your baby's growing:The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.

So we hit 6 1/2 months this week! Baby bump is slowly and steadily growing. Jellybean is more and more active. I think a lot of times he is positioned like in the above picture because often I will feel a lot of movement and kicks but I can't feel it on the outside of my tummy. David loves to feel jellybean move when we're laying in bed together and I think JB recognizes Daddy's voice cuz when David talks to him, he'll give us a couple of hard thumps!
The hormones are doing crazy things to my skin though... I have these dry skin patches on my legs and had some a few wks ago on my arms that have gone away... and talk about high school acne :( it's not no matter what I do I can't fight the zits and I never had a problem with zits before (well besides in high school) and I haven't changed my regimen at all... so nasty! Also I've had crazy mood swings where some days I just sit here and feel so disillusioned. Well, not about the baby, but just about everything else. I think the only thing that lifts me out of my funk is hubby.
Anyway, more to update later... post call today so I've been just sleeping on and off today. David's working late tonight so I'll be asleep by the time he comes home, booo.
