Your Baby
As they say in the baby business: You've reached the halfway point. By now the fetus is so large, you notice most movements. The skin also forms two layers: the epidermis and the dermis.
You
If you saw John Bon Jovi this week, he'd likely sing, "Oh, oh, you're half way there!" You're belly button may have popped this week, and you may notice a dark line (linea nigra) from your navel to you pubic bone. This line will disappear after delivery.
Now's a good time to start researching a pediatrician. Start by asking your OB if he/she has any recommendations.
