I can't believe I am 21 weeks! I had my follow up anatomy scan ultrasound yesterday. We needed to get some more shots of his heart, legs, nose, and head. He looks absolutely perfect! The ultrasound tech said he has really long legs, ha ha. Bet he's gonna be tall like Daddy. He kept playing with his cute little toes yesterday instead of his willy like last time, ha ha. Can't wait to see those cute little toes in person! He weighs approx 12+ oz and is over 10 inches long (according to online info, they didn't mention anything yesterday). He is definitely growing, he is one rambunctious little kicker/puncher/roller now a days. He is especially active after spicier foods and when I have juices, fruit (especially watermelon) and protein shakes. I am eating SO MUCH watermelon it is insane! Like, a personal watermelon per day, sometimes more if they're on the smaller side, ha ha. This kid is gonna come out half avocado and half watermelon 🤣 His eyes can now open. I think that is so cool! We weren't able to get good shots again because of his positioning against yesterday (he kept hugging the placenta), and because of my anterior placenta, but here's what we got 😀
We have decided on a name!! I wanted to do something heritage related or after my side this time because Cameron is Cameron Blake after Blake. I found out that Grant is a Scottish name, totally made my day! So he'll be Christian Grant 💙 Christian because it is the only name we both love, ha ha, and Grant after my Dad/his grandfather/my Scottish heritage. I really loved another first name but I couldn't convince Blake of it sadly. Maybe next time, if there is another, lol. So, all of our living and angel babies will be C names! We didn't mean to do that but it just turned out that way. Apparently we like C names, ha ha...Cannon, Claire, Cameron, Caelan, and now Christian ❤ Unless he really reallllly doesn't look like a Christian when he arrives, that'll be his name. But I feel like it is perfect and very fitting already, like with the twins.
Besides getting bigger, and this pesky rash, nothing much is new with me...yay! I was so happy to hear yesterday that my cervix are still maintaining 4cm in length and are remaining closed 🥳 I'm going to start going to a Chiropractor to get help with the typical back pain during pregnancy, and am looking into hypnobirthing. It is a very interesting concept if you look into it. Figured it wouldn't hurt to try it because I will be going all natural this time around, as the birthing center doesn't offer epidurals, and I don't want one anyways. Not wanting pitocin either. Both of those things come with risks for me and baby, which was never even brought up to me when pregnant with the twins. Lots of other natural options, in most cases! I'll post more on that later.
