As Gu Yunxi's pregnancy progressed, every corner of the house began to prepare for the arrival of the new life. He Siyan used his spare time to personally participate in decorating the nursery, hoping to create a warm and loving environment for the children.
Gu Yunxi sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a book about raising twins. She was studying it diligently to better understand and care for her two new lives. She said to He Siyan, "Siyan, shouldn't we prepare two cradles, and more diapers and bottles?"
He Siyan was organizing the shopping list. He nodded and replied, "Yes, Yunxi. I've already made a list that includes everything we need. We also need to prepare some comfort toys and children's books so that they can grow up in an environment full of love and knowledge from a young age."
He Ruizhe also actively participated in the preparations. He excitedly said, "Mom, I can help choose toys. I know which toys are the most fun."
Gu Yunxi smiled and stroked her son's head: "Ruize, you are such a sensible and good older brother. Your advice is very important to us."
At the hospital, Xia Liang, as the head of the family hospital, paid special attention to Gu Yunxi's condition. She arranged the best team of doctors and nurses to ensure the health of Gu Yunxi and the twins. Xia Liang said to Gu Yunxi, "Yunxi, don't worry, we will use the best resources to take care of you and the babies."
Han Yulan and Huang Haitang also frequently visited the hospital, bringing nutritious soups cooked at home and some handmade baby clothes. Huang Haitang said, "Yunxi, your grandmother and I made these by hand. We hope that the babies can feel the warmth of home when they wear them."
As her due date approached, Gu Yunxi felt both excited and nervous. He Siyan stayed by her side, offering her the greatest support and comfort: "Yunxi, no matter what happens, I will be here. Our child will grow up healthy and happy."
Finally, on a bright and sunny morning, Gu Yunxi felt the signs of labor. He Siyan immediately contacted the hospital, and the whole family waited anxiously and excitedly. Under the careful care of the doctors and nurses, Gu Yunxi successfully gave birth to a pair of healthy and adorable twins, a boy and a girl.
When the nurse brought the two babies to Gu Yunxi and He Siyan, they felt an unprecedented happiness and contentment. Gu Yunxi said softly, "Siyan, look at them, our little prince and little princess."
With tears in his eyes, He Siyan said excitedly, "Yunxi, thank you, you did a great job. They are our pride, our future."
The whole family surrounded Gu Yunxi and the newborn, their faces beaming with happiness. He Ruizhe looked at his younger brother and sister, his heart filled with pride and a sense of responsibility as an older brother: "Mom, I will take good care of them."
The Gu and He families became even more united and happy with the arrival of these two new members. Gu Yunxi and He Siyan knew that their lives would be enriched by these two little lives. They welcomed this new chapter filled with love and hope with gratitude and anticipation.
Faced with feeding twins, Gu Yunxi intended to breastfeed, but soon discovered that meeting the needs of two children simultaneously was a huge challenge. Despite her best efforts, her breast milk production was still insufficient to fully satisfy the appetites of the two newborns.
With He Siyan's help, Gu Yunxi consulted doctors and professional lactation consultants, and finally decided to adopt mixed feeding to ensure that both children could get enough nutrition.
Gu Yunxi said to He Siyan, "Siyan, I feel very sorry. I originally hoped to breastfeed our child exclusively, but now it seems a bit difficult."
He Siyan held her hand and comforted her, "Yunxi, don't say that. You've already tried your best, and your health and the children's health are the most important things. Mixed feeding is also a choice for many families, and our children can grow up healthy just the same."
On the doctor's advice, Gu Yunxi began to prepare formula according to scientific ratios to supplement insufficient breast milk. He Siyan also actively participated in feeding, taking over to feed the children formula whenever Gu Yunxi needed rest or when breast milk was insufficient.
Gu Yunxi said with emotion, "Siyan, I'm so glad we have you. Although mixed feeding wasn't my original plan, seeing how diligently you take care of our child makes me feel at ease."
He Siyan responded with a smile, "We are a family, this is what we should do. Besides, seeing their satisfied faces after they've eaten their fill makes all the effort worthwhile."
As time went on, Gu Yunxi gradually adapted to the rhythm of mixed feeding. She began to better balance her rest and breastfeeding time, ensuring that she had enough energy to take care of both children.
Han Yulan and Huang Haitang also frequently came to help, bringing homemade nutritious food to help Gu Yunxi improve her health and increase her breast milk production. Xia Liang would also visit from time to time, providing Gu Yunxi with emotional support and encouragement.
Seeing how hard his parents were taking care of his younger brother and sister, He Ruizhe offered to help: "Mom, I can help get diapers or put my younger brother and sister to sleep."
Gu Yunxi and He Siyan watched their son grow and become more sensible with gratitude. They knew that their family had become warmer and happier because of the contributions and love of every member. Although mixed feeding brought some new challenges, the unity and efforts of the whole family made these challenges less insurmountable. They believed that no matter what feeding method was used, as long as there was love in their hearts, the children could feel it and grow up healthily in love.
During the mixed feeding period, Gu Yunxi gradually found her rhythm. Although she was a bit overwhelmed at first, with the help of He Siyan and her family, she began to take better care of the two children.
Every morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the curtains into the room, Gu Yunxi began her busy day. She gently woke He Siyan, and together they prepared breakfast for the children. He Siyan was responsible for preparing the formula, while Gu Yunxi tried to breastfeed the children, hoping they could feel their mother's love.
As the children grew, their appetites increased. Although Gu Yunxi tried her best to increase her breast milk production, she ultimately had to rely on formula to ensure that the children's nutritional needs were met. Whenever she felt tired or frustrated, He Siyan would always give her timely encouragement and support: "Yunxi, you're doing a great job. The children are growing up healthy, and that's the most important thing."
Seeing his parents busy at work, He Ruizhe learned to be more independent. He started trying simple things, such as tidying up his toys or helping to look after his younger siblings when his parents were busy. His thoughtfulness made Gu Yunxi and He Siyan very proud.
Other members of the Gu family often come to their home to help take care of the children. Xia Liang brings nutritious food to help Gu Yunxi recover her strength; Han Yulan and Huang Haitang help with housework so that Gu Yunxi can have more time to rest and take care of the children.
As time went on, Gu Yunxi and He Siyan gradually adapted to life caring for twins. They learned how to find a balance in their busy parenting lives, and how to take care of themselves and their relationship while caring for the children.
At night, after the children have fallen asleep peacefully, Gu Yunxi and He Siyan sit together and share the day's events. They talk about the children's growth, share their worries and joys, and plan for the family's future together.
Gu Yunxi said with emotion, "Siyan, although I sometimes feel very tired, seeing the children's smiling faces makes it all worthwhile."
He Siyan held her hand tightly and said affectionately, "Yunxi, we will walk this journey together. Our family is more complete because of the arrival of the children, and our lives are more colorful because of them."
In this loving and warm family, Gu Yunxi and He Siyan face every challenge together and celebrate every small victory together. They know that as long as the family is united, nothing is impossible. And their twins, too, thrive in this love and care, becoming the most precious treasures in the family.
