Kyoto in mid-June.
The sky is blue, and the sun is beginning to show some heat. From time to time there is a heavy rain, filling the air with heat and humidity.
Lin Xuqiu is 22 weeks pregnant. Although her belly is more obvious, her limbs are still slender.
Because Wen Yanci has been accompanying her to do prenatal yoga.
Doing yoga during pregnancy can not only enhance the physical strength and muscle tension of pregnant women, but also improve the flexibility and toughness of the entire muscle tissue, which is beneficial for childbirth.
It can also increase blood circulation, help improve sleep, and make the entire pregnancy healthier and more comfortable.
In the yoga room.
Lin Xuqiu was wearing yoga clothes and had her hair tied up in a bun. There were some fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
Wen Yancheng was wearing a vest and sweatpants, revealing his strong and muscular arms. He stood behind the woman and helped her do wide-leg squats.
This move requires you to stand with your feet slightly shoulder-width apart and your knees pointed toward the center line of your feet.
Inhale and squat, exhale and stand up...
After doing a few sets of wide-leg squats.
The two began doing Swiss ball kneeling chest extension exercises.
Lin Xuqiu knelt on the yoga mat with her thighs perpendicular to the ground, leaned forward, put her hands together, and supported her elbows on the Swiss ball.
Then, with Wen Yanci's assistance, she stretched dynamically while inhaling.
Repeat for several sets.
Next is the Swiss ball chest and abdominal stretch.
Lin Xuqiu sat on the yoga mat, used a Swiss ball to support her lower back, and leaned her entire upper body on the Swiss ball.
Wen Yanci fixed the woman's wrist at the other end of the Swiss ball and applied force backward and downward in response to the woman's inhalation.
Wen Yanci was very careful and meticulous in every move he made, always paying attention to Lin Xuqiu's breathing and condition.
With the assistance of Wen Yanci, Lin Xuqiu finally completed all the movements.
She was breathing slightly, her cheeks slightly flushed, sitting on the yoga mat, enjoying the man's massage.
The man carefully and attentively massaged and stretched her leg muscles.
At this time, Lin Xuqiu touched her belly and suddenly felt the fetal movement. She looked at the man who was massaging her in surprise.
"Honey, the baby seems to be kicking me."
Wen Yanci stopped what he was doing, his eyes lit up, and he leaned forward eagerly, placing his hand on the woman's bulging belly.
There seemed to be a slight ripple under his palm.
They were so excited because Lin Xuqiu's two babies were very well-behaved, not very noisy, and had very few fetal movements.
Time seemed to stand still as the two of them felt the baby's vitality.
Wen Yanci slowly put his head towards the woman's abdomen, his eyes full of tenderness and doting, and called softly.
"Baby, you have to be good and don't make trouble for your mother."
The two babies seemed to understand and soon stopped making noise.
Then, Wen Yanci and Lin Xuqiu smiled at each other.
The next day.
Chen Zhizhi and Lin Zhidong came to visit their daughter at nine o'clock in the morning.
Because today is Lin Xuqiu’s 22nd week pregnancy check-up day.
Lin Xuqiu was wearing a loose dress and her hair was braided into a loose side braid. She didn't look like a pregnant mother at all, but more like a girl going out for an outing.
She looked at her parents on the couch and greeted them.
"Good morning, Mom and Dad."
Lin Zhidong and his wife smiled lovingly.
"Xuqiu, good morning. Did you sleep well last night?"
"That's great. Since I've been doing pregnancy yoga every day, my sleep quality has improved a lot. Mom and Dad, you can also do couples yoga when you have time."
"Your father and I are both very strong-willed. We can't do this."
After a brief chat, the family set off for the hospital together.
This prenatal checkup included four-dimensional color ultrasound and gestational diabetes screening.
Lin Xuqiu was doing a four-dimensional color ultrasound inside, while Wen Yanci and Lin Zhidong and his wife were waiting anxiously in the waiting area.
The doctor looked at the ultrasound image on the computer and sighed.
"Ms. Lin, your two babies are really pretty. Their noses are very straight. Although their eyes are closed, you can tell from their outline that their eyes are quite big."
"Both of your babies are very well behaved and cooperative. Every ultrasound image captures their faces correctly."
"Look, this baby is smiling."
Lin Xuqiu looked at the four-dimensional image on the computer, her heart softened, and she stared at the two babies intently.
This was the first time I saw the two babies’ appearances directly. It was such a wonderful feeling and I felt so touched.
This time the pregnancy check-up was still all green, and the pregnant woman and both babies were very healthy.
Lin Zhidong and Chen Zhizhi looked at the four-dimensional color ultrasound images of the two babies, smiling so hard that their teeth were showing, and kept praising the babies.
"Look, the baby is smiling. It's so cute."
"The other baby doesn't smile. He must be like my son-in-law, with a calm personality."
"Who said the other baby isn't smiling? Look carefully, it's actually shy and laughing secretly. It must be a very clever baby."
The two of them discussed with each other.
Chen Zhizhi suddenly picked up the drawing of the smiling baby and said to her daughter.
"Xuqiu, look at this smiling baby. His facial features and contours are very similar to yours."
"Mom, you're exaggerating! How can it be resembling anything? This brass-colored image doesn't even have a clear outline."
"Tsk, Mom is serious. The other baby looks like Yanci, and this baby who loves to laugh looks like you. I can tell the difference right away."
Lin Xuqiu smiled helplessly.
Chen Zhizhi looked up at her son-in-law again and asked.
"Yanci, do you think what I just said is right?"
Wen Yanci looked at these four-dimensional color ultrasound images very seriously, his eyebrows and eyes were soft and affectionate, and there was a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I think both babies look like Xuqiu, both are so pretty and cute."
