22 weeks & A Name

I had my monthly appointment today. The doctor said everything looked perfect. I'm measuring at exactly 22 weeks today. They said he has "long arms & legs"...wonder if that means he will be tall? My mom is 6 feet tall, so that is a possibility! He is 1.1 lbs. & in a breech position right now, but that doesn't mean anything. He had his back to us during the ultrasound. His heartrate was great. We also confirmed he IS A BOY! I've only gained 2 lbs. so far during the pregnancy & they said I need to drink a lot more water. They said I should be drinking A GALLON A DAY! I'm not so sure about that. The doctor also said I probably can't feel the baby b/c my placenta is between me & the baby. I should be able to feel him soon.

Here are the pics from the ultrasound today:




I think we have also decided on a name:

Jarrett Coleman Brown


This name has been the front runner with our family, so I think we are pretty much decided on it. I don't think our minds will change, ha ;) I really like the name & we have been calling him "Jarrett", so it's pretty settled!

  1. Love the name! Wow, your mom is 6' tall? Are you and and Becky tall? I always assumed you were average height for some reason. I'm 6'1" and taller than both my parents (mom is 5'10" and dad 6') so between me and my 6'3" husband I expect our kids to be giants.

  13. Love the name. And so glad you found out why you've had trouble feeling kicks.

    As for the 2 lbs. WOW! I'm certainly impressed...or maybe "jealous" would be a better word!!!

    You look adorable! And I love the school picts. Did I spot a "Nellie Olsen" hair-do in one of those picts? That's okay, I had one too! I thought is was sooo incredibly cool at the time.
