“Yeah. And I’m a father,” said Rick.

Xixi smiled sweetly…

“Where’s our baby? How come they’re not back yet?”

“Don’t worry. The baby has your parents and sister to take care of her. They said they’d clean the sticky stuff from her body and would come back soon.”

“I’m not worried. My mom and dad must be exhilarated. But I’ve got to tell you our daughter is very filthy… Haha. The doctor showed her to me and let me kiss her; I thought she was a dirty little thing.”

Remembering her reaction in the OR, Xixi chuckled.

“What kind of mom are you? She’s just been born, and you are disgusted by her already?”

“But she was dirty… Besides, Hon, I think she looks like a little monkey… Do you think she’d grow into a sharp faced girl? My goodness… I can’t imagine it,” said Xixi in a small voice.

Rick: “…”

“She looks like a hairy monkey with tiny hair on her ears. What shall we do? Will she be like this when she grows up? Who’d want to marry her?”

Rick: “…”

“Stop it… The baby will not be happy when she hears it,” Rick said solemnly.

“Hahaha. She’s just been born. How can she understand our words? You overestimate your daughter.”

Xixi found Rick’s reaction was super funny and adorable.

“Are you in pain?”

Rick held Xixi’s hand tightly.

Men couldn’t give birth to children and thus didn’t know the pain of going through labor.

A doctor once compared the pain during labor with the pain of getting 12 ribs broken at the same time. Few people could bear the pain with ease.

With better living standards, people ate better and thus had bigger babies which were usually over 4,000 grams. It wasn’t easy to have natural births, which is why more and more young mothers chose to do C Sections.

This method means no labor pain but leaves an ugly scar in the belly. It wasn’t easy to be a mother.

Rick wasn’t a talker, but he knew Xixi had suffered a lot in the process.

“No. Maybe the effect of the anesthetic is still there, so I’m fine right now…”

Xixi smiled and looked much better after the childbirth.

Then she thought of something and said, “Give me my cellphone. I want to post the news on my Moments.”

“No. It’s bad for your eyes.”

“Just one minute. I’ll put the phone down after posting it.”

“No. You tell me what to say and I’ll post it for you.”

Rick was extra careful with Xixi since her mother had told him it was a big deal to take good care of Chinese women during the one month after the baby was born. If the mother wasn’t careful, she’d suffer from lots of illnesses later in her life.

Rick took it seriously and was quite strict with Xixi.

Seeing his tough attitude, Xixi gave in. “Fine. Post it for me. Did you take a picture of the baby?”

“I did.”

“Okay. Post a picture with the words, ‘My daughter weighs 3,400 grams. Mother and daughter are both in good health.”

“That’s all?”

“Yep.”

Rick: “…”

“What’s the look on your face?”

“Nothing. I’ll post it now.” Rick picked up Xixi’s cell phone.

“Hon, don’t forget to edit the picture…” Xixi instructed.

“She’s just been born. Is it necessary to edit her picture?” Rick didn’t know if he should cry or laugh.

“Of course. I want our little princess to look pretty from the first day of her life. Haha…”

Then a thought struck her.

“I wish Sister Mian hadn’t lost her baby. She’d deliver her son almost at the same time as I did give birth to our baby. Then we may arrange our daughter to marry their son.”
