As she entered her fifth month of pregnancy, Gu Yuanzhi's belly began to grow noticeably, expanding rapidly like an inflating balloon. This is a natural physiological change during pregnancy, signifying the healthy growth of the fetus in the mother's womb. Although her body shape didn't change much in early pregnancy, at this stage, even wearing the loosest clothing couldn't hide the fact that she was about to welcome a new life.
Gu Yuanzhi's face radiated maternal glow; she was both surprised and delighted by the changes in herself. She often gently stroked her belly, feeling every movement of the baby inside—the most intimate connection between her and her unborn child.
Seeing the changes in his wife, Pei Yanchuan was filled with love and a sense of responsibility. He took even better care of Gu Yuanzhi, ensuring she received the best nutrition and rest during this crucial period. He often accompanied Gu Yuanzhi on walks, helping her with appropriate prenatal exercises to promote blood circulation and muscle health.
Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao were overjoyed to see Gu Yuanzhi's belly grow bigger every day. They frequently inquired about Gu Yuanzhi's health and brought her various tonics, hoping to help her and the baby stay healthy.
The children in the family were also curious and excited about Gu Yuanzhi's changes. Pei Yunduo and the twins often surrounded Gu Yuanzhi, asking questions about the baby, and they looked forward to the day they would meet their new brother or sister.
During her pregnancy, Gu Yuanzhi paid even closer attention to her diet and health. Following her doctor's advice, she increased her intake of foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals to meet the needs of herself and her baby. At the same time, she reduced the number of times she went out to avoid overexertion.
As her belly grew, Gu Yuanzhi began preparing some maternity clothes, which were both comfortable and convenient, making her feel more at ease during her pregnancy. She also started organizing and preparing items needed after the baby was born, such as a crib, clothes, and diapers.
Pei Yanchuan also actively participated in the preparations. He and Gu Yuanzhi attended prenatal classes together, learning how to care for a newborn. They discussed the baby's room arrangement, choosing colors and decorations, hoping to create a warm and comfortable environment for the baby.
As Gu Yuanzhi's pregnancy progressed, her belly became increasingly noticeable, and she and Pei Yanchuan enjoyed the process of preparing for their soon-to-be-born baby. They frequently visited maternity and baby stores, selecting various necessities, from soft baby clothes to safe cribs, each item carefully chosen by them.
In a cozy, decorated maternity and baby store, Gu Yuanzhi gently stroked each small garment, her face radiant with maternal love. Pei Yanchuan carefully checked the labels on each product, ensuring they were non-toxic and harmless. They discussed various colors and patterns, hoping to create a colorful and comfortable living environment for their baby.
In the crib area, the two tested the stability and safety of several cribs together. Pei Yanchuan carefully checked every detail to ensure the crib's structure was sturdy and there were no sharp parts that could harm the baby. Gu Yuanzhi, on the other hand, imagined her baby lying peacefully asleep inside, her heart filled with anticipation.
They also selected some educational toys for the baby, toys that not only attract the baby's attention but also promote their visual and auditory development. Gu Yuanzhi particularly liked a brightly colored crib mobile with soft music, believing that her baby would love it.
In the baby care section, Gu Yuanzhi carefully read the ingredient list of each product, hoping to choose the most natural and gentle care products for her baby. Pei Yanchuan consulted the store clerk for usage advice to ensure they could use the products correctly.
After each shopping trip, the couple would return home with a bounty of purchases. They would carefully arrange their newly bought items in the room they had prepared for their baby, each piece embodying their hopes and dreams for the future. Pei Yanchuan would also help organize and install some of the larger items, ensuring everything was ready.
As their baby's arrival drew closer, the couple grew increasingly excited. They knew this new life would bring tremendous changes to their lives, but with love, they had the strength to face anything. They eagerly awaited their baby's arrival and looked forward to embarking on this new journey together.
Gu Yunxi knew how important postpartum care was for her younger sister, Gu Yuanzhi, so she was determined to prepare something special for her to ensure she received the best care and rest after childbirth. She carefully selected some practical and thoughtful gifts, hoping to bring Gu Yuanzhi convenience and comfort during this special time.
In a high-end maternity and baby store, Gu Yunxi carefully selected each item. She whispered to Gu Yuanzhi, "Yuanzhi, these are all carefully chosen for you. I hope you can feel comfortable and relaxed during your postpartum period." Her voice was full of care and warmth.
Gu Yunxi's movements were gentle and meticulous. She softly stroked each piece of baby clothing to ensure that the material was soft and suitable for a newborn's sensitive skin. She selected some organic cotton baby clothes with soft colors and cute patterns, each one revealing her deep love for her soon-to-be-born nephew or niece.
Her emotions were delicate and rich; whenever she picked up an item, Gu Yunxi's eyes would sparkle with anticipation. She imagined Gu Yuanzhi's comfort and peace of mind while using these items during her postpartum period, and her heart was filled with satisfaction and joy.
Gu Yunxi also prepared an exquisite care set for Gu Yuanzhi, containing high-quality skincare products specially designed for postpartum mothers to help alleviate postpartum fatigue and skin problems. She knew that Gu Yuanzhi would definitely like these gifts that would help her feel relaxed and revitalized.
While choosing gifts, Gu Yunxi frequently chatted with Gu Yuanzhi, inquiring about her preferences and needs. She hoped that these gifts would truly suit Gu Yuanzhi's tastes and make her feel deeply loved and cared for by her family during her postpartum period.
Gu Yuanzhi was deeply moved by Gu Yunxi's thoughtfulness. She knew that her sister's care and support would be a vital force in her postpartum recovery. She held Gu Yunxi's hand tightly, her eyes filled with tears, and said gratefully, "Yunxi, thank you. I am so happy to have a sister like you."
Pei Yanchuan was also very grateful when he saw the gifts Gu Yunxi had prepared for Gu Yuanzhi. He knew that the love and support from her family was of great significance to Gu Yuanzhi and was an important force in their welcoming of a new life.
As the due date approached, Gu Yuanzhi and Pei Yanchuan were filled with anticipation for the new life to come.
