Ryan Alexander Campbell

We are pleased to announce that we have decided on a name for our precious little boy. He is going to be named Ryan Alexander Campbell. Ryan means little king and Alexander means defender of the people. I think it flows nicely and we were very fond of Ryan since it is Michael's middle name. I know everyone's been curious and asking us so I thought I'd go ahead and have a brief post to let everyone know.

Also, follow up from my Dr's appointment yesterday, Ryan's heartbeat was 161bpm. My BP was 112/70 which is normal, and I gained another 5 lbs. which brings my total weight gain at a little over 23 weeks to be 11 lbs. I believe that's right on track and I really hope that it stays nice and steady. I was really expecting a big weight gain at this visit since I feel like my belly has definitely had some major changes and growth in the last 2-3 weeks. From here on out my "What to Expect" book says that he will gain approximately 6oz every week. (CRAZY!) Uterus measurement was 23 centimeters and the Dr said to figure about a centimeter per week, so also good. Before my next appointment I "get" to do the glucose test thing which I've heard is just lovely (sarcasm) and then I will see my Dr again November 12th. November is a busy month as we have our prepared childbirth class and babycare/cpr classes starting. It is hard for me to believe that November will be here in two weeks.

Other news, TCU plays Colorado State at home tomorrow so we will be planning to attend the game and hoping to catch up with many of our good friends at the game. GO FROGS!! I will also be participating with Sigma Kappa in the Alzheimer's Memory Walk in the morning which is a 3K walk around Trinity Park. Thanks to everyone who made a donation!
