783 Baby Being Sensible About The lancholic Mother
That evening, when Gu Shaoting returned ho from work, he found Shu Pan sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the sky outside.
"What's wrong? You seem down," Gu Shaoting approached, concern evident in his voice.
Shu Pan suddenly looked gloomy, which surprised Gu Shaoting. He thought sothing must have happened.
"Is it because the baby's being difficult and upsetting you?" Gu Shaoting could only think of that possibility.
"No, the baby is fine. It's just... I don't know, I'm feeling a bit unhappy for no reason," Shu Pan said sowhat lodramatically.
Gu Shaoting grew anxious. He had heard about postpartum depression affecting many new mothers, and he hoped his wife wouldn't be one of them.
This was a serious matter.
Quickly, Gu Shaoting comforted and hugged her. He knew he might be tired from taking care of the baby, but he hadn't anticipated that it would be the mother who felt depressed, especially when the baby was well-behaved and slept soundly after eating.
Yet, Gu Shaoting understood Shu Pan's feelings. Being stuck at ho every day, dealing with a non-verbal infant, could indeed lead to frustration.
"When you're done with the postpartum period, I'll take you out for good food and fun activities, whatever you want. Okay?" Gu Shaoting said patiently.
"Okay," Shu Pan agreed, realizing she might have been a bit unreasonable and lodramatic.
In the middle of the night, when the baby woke up crying, Shu Pan was still in a daze, but Gu Shaoting sprang into action.
After a quick check, he confird the diaper was wet and promptly changed it. He had beco quite skilled at it after doing it so many tis recently.
Shu Pan opened her eyes and watched him under the dim light, focused on changing the baby's diaper. He looked every bit the devoted father, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness.
Once Gu Shaoting settled back onto the bed, she reached out and gently hugged him. In truth, she realized he was even more exhausted than she was during this ti. Not only did he have to go to work, but he also had to manage the affairs of the corporation, take care of both her and the baby, and deal with her recent moodiness.
But this was sothing Gu Shaoting had gotten used to. As her father and Auntie Lu would say, she wasn't like this before. Now that soone was backing her up, she had beco sowhat spoiled and lodramatic.
She glanced up at Gu Shaoting's chin and furrowed her brows. "Hubby, you've lost a lot of weight. Don't always focus on and the baby. Take care of yourself and get so rest too."
"Yeah, I'm fine," Gu Shaoting replied with his eyes closed, reaching out to grasp her hand accurately before pressing it to his lips. "You should go to sleep now."
As a man, Gu Shaoting didn't consider what he was doing to be particularly strenuous. He wished he could bear Shu Pan's suffering for her. Although he wasn't a doctor, he had learned a lot about pregnancy during Shu Pan's pregnancy. He knew won needed proper rest during the postpartum period, or they would face many complications later.
He also understood the importance of considering a woman's emotions and not neglecting the adults while focusing on the child.
So, he paid close attention. He empathized with Shu Pan's struggles. Truly, he had only heard about the greatness of motherly love, but experiencing it firsthand made him realize it was indeed remarkable. It seed like going through the ordeal of childbirth was akin to passing through the gates of hell.
Fortunately, his wife was amazing and strong, safely delivering their baby.
Basically, Gu Shaoting's thoughts were all centered around them now.
Sotis, he and He Ming would chat about parenting in the office. He guessed people would be surprised to hear two business tycoons discussing childcare. They would get quite animated, with He Ming boasting about how adorable his daughter was while Gu Shaoting would proudly talk about how well-behaved and thoughtful his son was.
Having a child truly made everything worthwhile.
