Chapter 418

When Ji Wanmei was in her third month of pregnancy, she told her relatives and friends about her pregnancy.

When Zhu Shuangyan learned that she was pregnant, she prepared large bags of prenatal vitamins and came to see her from Pingquan County with Aqiang a few days later.

When was the diagnosis found? How many months pregnant are you now?

Zhu Shuangyan looked at Ji Wanmei's belly with a smile.

This is her fourth year of marriage with Lei Tingjun, and it's time to have a child.

Ji Wanmei gently stroked her belly and said, "It was found out last month. It's only the third month. I've just gotten over the morning sickness of the first three months and can eat normally now."

Now she has developed a habit of touching her belly every day, and when she has nothing to do, she will look down and talk to the baby in her belly.

Zhu Shuangyan, whose child is already over four years old and can run around like a baby, spoke with the air of someone who's been through it all, saying, "It's your first pregnancy, so it's normal to have more morning sickness. Don't worry, my morning sickness was even worse than yours! You and Brother Lei are both so young and healthy, this baby will definitely be a good baby. Since you're not having morning sickness anymore, eat more and move around more so it'll be easier to give birth. If you need anything, just let me know, and A-Qiang and I will bring it to you."

When Zhu Shuangyan was pregnant, Ji Wanmei bought her son a lot of supplements.

Zhu Shuangyan was just worried about not having a chance to repay this favor, and now she finally had the opportunity.

After saying that, Zhu Shuangyan instructed Lei Tingjun: "Brother Lei, childbirth is a big deal for a woman. As her husband, you can't be careless. You must take good care of your sister-in-law."

Needless to say, Lei Tingjun did a more meticulous job than anyone else.

Then Zhu Shuangyan said, "How about this, I'll come over every week to make you some soup. If Brother Lei can't manage all the work by himself, I can also come over and help with some housework and chores."

Ji Wanmei quickly said, "No need, Shuangyan. You're busy with your own family, so you don't need to worry about me. We've hired a nanny to take care of my meals and daily life. My dad knows I'm pregnant, and he'll come to see me too. With so many people at home, I'll be well taken care of."

Zhu Shuangyan felt a little relieved after hearing Ji Wanmei's words.

That's true. Ji Wanmei is about to give birth, so her father must be very concerned. After all, she's the eldest son and grandson, so he's bound to cherish her.

"Okay, I'll come over every few days. Call me as soon as you need anything."

After saying that, Zhu Shuangyan took the dried goods she brought to the kitchen and stewed a pot of nourishing soup for Ji Wanmei, enough for her to drink for three days!

Although Ji Xingguo didn't come in person, he had already sent Ji Wanmei several large boxes of prenatal care products and things the baby would need.

Somehow, news of Ji Wanmei's pregnancy also reached Lei Tingjun's hometown, Xiahe Village.

Uncle Li and the others soon found out as well.

Uncle Li and his wife brought a large basket of free-range eggs from their own hens and other local specialties to visit Ji Wanmei, making Ji Wanmei feel very embarrassed and as if she had troubled the elderly couple.

It's not easy to make a special trip all the way from the countryside.

A few days later, Lu Zhuoxuan and Grandma Song also sent a lot of things for the baby.

Lu Zhuoxuan even called Ji Wanmei specifically to say, "After the child is born, I'm going to be the godfather, and no one is allowed to take him from me!"

It was only then that Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun realized that if they had known their relatives and friends would also buy so many baby and maternity products, they shouldn't have bought so many in advance. Now their house was overflowing with stuff, and they had two or three of many items of the same brand and color. Would the baby be able to use them all?

Ji Wanmei touched her belly and sighed. This child is already loved and cared for by so many people even before he is born. He will surely grow up in a happy and joyful environment.

******

When Ji Wanmei was four or five months pregnant.

She went for a check-up with Lei Tingjun by her side.

After the examination, a doctor looked at the baby's ultrasound image and said, "The little one is developing very well. The little girl is as strong and healthy as a boy."

Ji Wanmei was relieved.

Lei Tingjun was overjoyed when he accidentally learned that he was carrying a daughter.

Every morning and evening, he would take a book and give his daughter prenatal education while looking at Ji Wanmei's belly.

Sometimes he would recite a couple of romantic poems, sometimes he would tell her a fairy tale, and sometimes he would hum a song to her softly.

At these times, Ji Wanmei's gaze would always be gentle and tender as she looked at him lying in front of her belly, focused and serious, and an indescribable happiness would well up in her heart.

In the fifth month of her pregnancy, Ji Wanmei's belly finally began to show.

At this time, she had a rosy complexion and was in good spirits. Under Lei Tingjun's meticulous care, she had already adapted to her pregnancy.

Even though they knew the baby in her womb was healthy, they still went to the hospital once a month for a routine prenatal checkup.

Perhaps because she knew in advance that she was pregnant with a girl, Ji Wanmei suddenly developed a craving for spicy food in the following months.

But she knew that eating too much spicy food was bad for her child's skin. She had heard from Zhu Shuangyan and other experienced elders that if a mother ate too much spicy food that could cause allergies during pregnancy, her child would have bad skin and would also have a natural allergen.

Ji Wanmei was very nervous. Although she was very hungry and wanted to eat, she still held back and strictly followed the nutritional diet that Yin Luan had customized for her every day.
