As the days went by, everyone's life was going on in an orderly manner.
Elizabeth had been pregnant for three months, and her flat belly had become slightly swollen. However, she was thin and wore thick clothes in winter, so others couldn't notice her pregnancy.
But James was not the same. After washing up at night, he looked at Elizabeth's belly and had very complicated emotions in heart, but he was very proud.
"Alas! After so many days, I can finally feel my son now." Saying this, he reached out and touched it.
Elizabeth laughed, What are you talking about?"
"When I was young, I found that the aunt next door suddenly had a big belly. At that time, I always thought that women's bellies would become so big immediately after they got pregnant. Later I grew up and knew that I had been wrong. However... honey, why are your belly still not big?"
"I don't think so. The child grows big slowly day by day, right?"
"I just want him to grow big soon so that I can feel the fetal movement." James snorted, "Two days ago, didn't the doctor say that I could feel the child when it moved? I bought an equipment to listen to its heartbeat, and I want to use it. Now he is too small, and I don't dare to use it."
Elizabeth curled her lips, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not as eager as you."
"Then you may not be my child's mother."
Elizabeth remained silent for a while before speaking, "So who am I? Surrogate mother?"
"I was just kidding, wasn't I? Do you take my words seriously?" James shrugged his shoulders and sat up straight. He did not forget to pull down her clothes to cover her belly, "But, honey, in fact, you are very lucky. Didn't the doctor say that many pregnant women would vomit after being pregnant for more than a month? Look, our son is really obedient. He doesn't torture you. You've been pregnant for three months. You can eat well and sleep well, and you don't vomit. How good it is!"
When he was in the hospital before, he once saw a pregnant woman who was vomiting painfully.
At that time, he thought that Elizabeth was thin, and he didn't want her to throw up like that. Otherwise, how distressed he would be!
It seemed like his wish had come true.
"Yep." Elizabeth nodded, "I heard that vomiting during pregnancy is very uncomfortable. Moreover, pregnant women need nutrition. Think about it. They have no appetite, and they vomit everything they eat. How could the baby be well-nourished?"
"That's true." James looked very proud, "When our child is born, I will definitely praise him."
"You..." Elizabeth was speechless. After a long while, she said softly, "Whatever."
"Well, go to sleep, honey. It's late. You should go to bed early and get up early. Tomorrow, I'll ask Auntie Chang to buy you a free- range chicken. Didn't you say the chicken soup was delicious?"
When Elizabeth heard this, she couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't want to drink it anymore."
James was stunned for a moment, "Well... maybe it's because you drank too much a few days ago. Fine, we won't drink it. Let's talk about it when you get up tomorrow."
"Alright."
As a result, when she got up to have breakfast the next day, Auntie Chang served her a soup as usual. However, it was fish soup.
He was really anxious. When Elizabeth got pregnant, the doctor had instructed him to pay attention to her diet. She couldn't catch a cold and couldn't have a stomachache. Taking medicine was bad for her.
Hearing this, Lydia was very worried, "Then... what should we do? Let's... go to the hospital right now. Dr. Shen is not here today. Alas! I am so anxious. John, look! Elizabeth's face is pale!"
Elizabeth was not feeling well. Seeing that everyone was in such a hurry, she calmed down and felt that she was slightly better. Then, she said weakly, "Mom, I'm... fine, I just... want to vomit..." As soon as she finished speaking, she retched again, "Ugh!"
James was dumbfounded. He was completely at a loss.
Lydia was also stunned for a while, "You don't have a stomachache? Then..."
Auntie Chang was still patting Elizabeth's back. At this time, she smiled and said to Lydia, "Madam, this is morning sickness."
Lydia nodded, "Oh, morning sickness? I can finally be relieved!"
James seemed to have come to his sense after hearing Lydia's words. He shouted loudly, "What? Morning sickness?"
"Yeah." Auntie Chang said with a smile, "Many pregnant women vomit and retch."
James suddenly became speechless, as if he had been dealt a severe blow.
Last night, he said those words so proudly. However... Elizabeth retched this morning?
He got a slap in the face!
