NOVEL NEXT Chapter 45: Chapter 45 A Complete View
By the next morning, the three little ones had woken up the entire family bright and early with their cries, just as punctual as roosters.
The two maternity matrons were bustling about, swiftly wiping down the babies' bodies before getting busy with feeding them again.
Han Xuewei got up on time as well, as she had to breastfeed the babies first thing in the morning, or else she would suffer from engorgement.
Today it was her eldest son's turn to be breastfed, but before she could even finish halfway, the little guy unexpectedly pooped right into his diaper!
Han Xuewei, who was practically smoked out by the poop in the diaper, twisted her head away, covered her nose with one hand, and began shouting, "Husband! Come help, please! Our eldest son needs his diaper changed!"
Lin Yi rushed over at the sound, but found Han Yilin still in the act of breastfeeding; his eyes couldn't help but wander, taking in the expanse of her whiteness.
Lin Yi froze on the spot.
It was then that Han Xuewei suddenly remembered she should have lifted the baby away first.
The two of them locked eyes, falling into a mutual silence.
Han Xuewei immediately turned halfway around and also lifted her son away from her chest.
After she adjusted her clothes, Han Xuewei then handed her son over to Lin Yi.
However, it seemed the baby wasn't full yet, and the moment he was picked up, he started to cry a little.
Lin Yi quickly took his son into his arms and rushed to the nursery not far away, singing nursery rhymes and soothing the child while swiftly getting the diaper ready.
The brother and sister had already finished eating, but the eldest son still hadn't had enough! The longer the diaper change took, the louder he cried.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Listen to Daddy, once we've changed your diaper, we'll eat right away! As long as we clean you up and wipe you down, you can have your milk—just hang in there!"
While Lin Yi was uselessly comforting aloud, he was also busily changing the baby's diaper.
The brother and sister had weighed just over four pounds when they were born, while the eldest had reached five pounds. After many days of everyone's careful attention, the brother and sister had gained a good amount of weight, and the eldest had grown bigger as well.
These days, it was noticeably more strenuous to pick them up! They must have put on maybe two more pounds already, right?
Lin Yi quickly finished changing the baby's diaper and then swiftly brought Da Bao back to Han Xuewei's arms.
"I didn't expect Da Bao to have such a temper, it's getting harder and harder to change his diaper, but as soon as you hold him, he seems to stop crying..." Lin Yi shook his head helplessly.
Han Xuewei hastily took the baby, gently rocking him in her arms, and consoled, "Sweetheart, be good, don't cry."
Da Bao was quite clever, as if sensing his mother's scent and realizing there was milk to be had, he soon stopped crying and began to coo and babble.
"You little rascal, so you were just picking on your dad when you had me all to yourself!" Lin Yi said, finding the situation both frustrating and amusing.
Laughing, Han Xuewei added from the side, "The baby didn't do it on purpose, honey. He just wants to eat. If you fed him with a bottle, he wouldn't cry either."
Seeing his wife turn halfway around and start to feed Da Bao, Lin Yi felt it wasn't right to stay any longer, so he turned and left.
At the lunch table, Lin Yi's father suddenly spoke up, asking the couple, "Speaking of which, the baby has been born for so many days now, have you both thought of a name yet?"
Lin Yi suddenly looked up, puzzled, and said, "We haven't thought of a name yet, but that shouldn't be urgent, should it?"
His father shook his head and said, "How can it not be urgent? When you get the birth certificate, you'll need to register the child's residence, and logically, all three babies should have had their names picked out on the day they were born. If not now, then when?"
After listening, Han Xuewei's father laughed and said, "Hahaha, my dear friend, don't blame him. After all, it's his first time being a dad; it's understandable that he doesn't get these things. Do you have any good names in mind?"
Lin Yi's father smiled and said, "I've been struggling, too. I'm torn between several names. Does anyone else have any good ideas? Let's talk and discuss them together."
Han Xuewei's parents also fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Lin Yi's mother said to everyone, "A name is for life, we can't be careless about it. For the three babies' names, let's all name them together!"
"Lin Dad and I will name the eldest brother, Vivi's parents can name the second brother, and the couple can name the little sister! After we agree on the names, we can share them with each other for reference. Does that sound good?"
Han Xuewei eagerly clapped and praised, "That's a good approach! It will make it much easier to name the babies, and it won't take too much effort to think. I wholeheartedly agree."
Han Xuewei's mother smiled and slowly said, "It indeed is a good idea. Let's all think together! Surely, we can find suitable names for the babies."
"How about this! We use the afternoon to think, and we can discuss it together at dinner. It will be like our big family's first family meeting!" Lin Yi's father quickly set an example.
"Vivi, my dear in-law, our Lin Family has never been strict with names, so don't hold back. As long as it sounds good and has a good meaning, we can all accept it," Lin Yi's mother added.
Han Xuewei's parents also smiled and responded, "That's even better; there's nothing for us to worry about then."
After enjoying lunch together, Han Xuewei and Lin Yi went back to their bedroom, planning to take a good afternoon nap.
Once back in the bedroom, Lin Yi picked up a dictionary and started flipping through it page by page, hoping to find the right characters for his daughter's name.
There's no denying he was a responsible and good dad!
Han Xuewei often couldn't resist the urge to nap after lunch, so she had formed the habit of taking an afternoon rest, but today she found herself with engorged breasts, so she sat at the head of the bed and used a breast pump.
Seeing how serious Lin Yi was, she didn't have the heart to disturb him.
Han Xuewei's health had been good lately, and perhaps she naturally had a good constitution, such that now her milk production was almost enough for two babies every day. So looking at it this way, it was possible that in a little while, the babies could be fed exclusively on breast milk.
This detail also implies that Han Xuewei's bust must be quite sizable, right?
Occasionally, when she was breastfeeding and Lin Yi walked in, he would end up staring and daydreaming, which made Han Xuewei feel embarrassed for a while.
After expressing the excess milk, she stored it in a bag and then casually placed it in the bedroom fridge.
