happy 6 months, Jordan....

Your baby's growing steadily, gaining about a quarter of a pound since last week, when he was just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long, that makes a pretty lean figure, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon put on more baby fat. Your baby's skin is thin, translucent, and wrinkled, his brain is growing rapidly, and his taste buds are developing. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" and cells that produce surfactant, a substance that helps the air sacs inflate easily.

6 months today! we'll get to "see" him again on tuesday with a followup ultrasound. i'll be posting new pictures!!! as for me, i'm definitely "feeling" pregnant. but the aches and pains and all are worth it. when asah gets back from his workshop we'll be putting together the nursery! so exciting.
