Chapter 32 of the Year of Tranquility
Sunday, October 11th
I felt a slight abdominal pain when I slept last night, and there was a slight soreness in my waist, which was like a wave of fine waves on the sea. Similar to the usual feeling of menstruation, the pain came from the boundless darkness, like a ghostly moan, gradually increasing the volume. I think it may be a sign that labor is about to be delivered, and the reproductive health book clearly states that there will be one pain after another before childbirth. Tomorrow seems to be the day when the fetus will turn 9 months old, and the fetus is like a mature gourd, writhing hard to break free from the grip of the vine.
I couldn't sleep all night, savoring the pain that I didn't often have, and praying for God's blessing, and in a daze, the sky was already light, but now I was sleepy like a thick fog, and it became thicker. I was going to get up at 6 o'clock this morning, but I slept until 9 o'clock. After grinding for a while, I went down to eat. After eating and reading, I fell asleep again when I saw that I was sleepy and hazy, and slept until dusk came, but I didn't feel like I was going to give birth, and the soreness when menstruation came was gone, so the fetus was also asleep. Continue to read "Dragon Babu", I actually fell asleep when I watched it, and when I read this book at the beginning of the year, my eyes were shining, I forgot to eat, and I couldn't wait to read it all night. The older people get, the less their curiosity diminishes, just like the weather-beaten tree, looking down on the wind and rain and rainbows, and rooting deep in the earth.
Monday, October 12 Sunny
Today is the day when the fetus in my womb is 9 months old, this is a day when the ears are full, I seem to see the barns full of grains, the golden sunshine spreads all over the world, and the joy is pouring into clouds.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, I called Mr. Zheng from the accounting training class in Beijing and asked him to sign up for me. October 12th to 18th is the registration time, the National Day holiday is 1~8th, and September 10th to 11th is Sunday, so I decided to mail the required documents today: copies of ID cards, two 1-inch bareheaded photos, 180 yuan. I took my medical card and went to the health center for a check-up. I did a B-ultrasound: the diameter of the head position was 90mm, and the amniotic fluid was 42mm. I told the doctor that I wanted to have a baby, and the doctor said that the fetus was not very big and could be born naturally. When I went to the examination room on the first floor, the doctor there asked me to stay in the hospital and wait for a caesarean section, and I was a little unhappy, so I said that I would come back on the day of my due date. I went to the post office and mailed a registered letter, and then went to my mother's shop. My mother gave me 20 yuan to buy vegetables, and at noon I made rice and winter melon chicken.
After dinner, I went to Denny's supermarket to read a book and didn't come back until dusk. After cooking rice soup, my mother and I ate a bowl and went to church, and it was past 9 o'clock when I came out of the church. We ate beef ramen again in the alley leading to the church, because we don't eat it often, and we miss it for a long time. It was already past 10 o'clock when I arrived at the store, sleepy, and slept.

Today's weather is fine, the sun is smiling early, and the sunny weather is also refreshing.
After breakfast, I packed my things and got ready to ride home. I didn't look at the road much, walked straight over, just gently stepped on a woman's electric motorcycle in front of the store, and it reversed. The car was stuck on some sloping ground and was very unstable. She asked me to pay for the trunk of her car, and there were some cracks in the trunk, so it would cost about thirty or forty yuan to buy a new one. I was so unlucky to have this happen in the morning! My mother asked me to leave and she gave me money, so I left. It's my fault that I didn't look at the surrounding environment, only obediently pay for it, if I were the other party, it would be just me, cowardly and useless!
Passing by the front of the health center, I saw that the car of the health center said "all-weather free pick-up, phone ......", I took out my mobile phone and wanted to write down the number, but found that the mobile phone screen became a whiteboard, and I felt uncomfortable. I don't know if I was in this hospital when I was born, whether it was a natural birth or a caesarean section. Heavenly Father, I still pray for your blessing that I will be born. My mother's wish was a little bigger, and she said that she begged God for half a year, hoping that I could give birth to a son. But I don't have any extravagant hopes, but I just hope that God will bless me with a smooth life.
Today's mood is getting more and more gloomy, and the loss of money due to reversing in the morning has made me feel confused, and the unhappiness of the past is rolling like a dark cloud, and the pain has grabbed my head again, and tears are unconsciously falling down my cheeks. This bad emotion really wronged the child in the womb, and made her soak me in pain prematurely.
Bored, I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to take a shower, I didn't want to read a book, I fell into a state of decadence again, and in desperation, I held the one-dollar magazine I bought in the past two days to read.
I remembered yesterday that my brother looked older than his colleague Xiao Zhang, and my brother likes to stay up late and drink. He and his colleagues got together for three days to drink, and when they drank, they didn't eat, and let the spicy liquor run down their throats, and their flushed faces were hidden in the smoke. He was two years younger than his brother and daughter-in-law, but he looked a few years older than her. There are many people who say that my brother is old, and I also say that my brother is old, but who knows that he actually ridiculed him and said that I look as old as my mother. I was so devastated that I came back and looked in the mirror repeatedly, and the more I looked, the more I felt like I was old......

During the day, I was reading in Xinhua Bookstore, and I saw a book "If I Think of It, I Will Do It", which attracted my attention, and the book mainly talks about the power of habits.
The author is over 50 years old, and he has been practicing a big split for a month, writing a short essay every morning, noting down his daily inspirations, and gathering them into 1,001 heart lamps and writing for 1,001 days. Persistence is a habit and perseverance. He lost weight, did not eat staple foods every day, only ate vegetables and fruits, and in a month the general's belly became flat. He insisted on walking briskly, and for many years he went from a frail person to a healthy and energetic person, and he also insisted on swimming. In him, habit shows great power.
Saturday, October 17 Fine
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, my husband came, and the car he was in used to pass through the village at 9 o'clock, and he came at 11 o'clock today, and the fare was more than 50 yuan. He brought with him two red gold dragon cigarettes and a bag of dried crucian carp, which should have been the fish he had caught in the small river in the village. It is a round folded green net pocket that is placed in the river grass, and the fish are allowed to enter the net automatically.
In the evening, my father picked up my mother and came back, and my father made chicken soup ramen, which was smooth and mellow in taste, and it was worth savoring.
Sunday, October 18 Light rain
In the morning, I went to Honglin Street with my husband, bought him a jacket at Shenglong Supermarket, 98 yuan, a dark blue autumn coat for 15 yuan, and bought a bag of chocolate biscuits, and on the way back, I bought a stove, a wok, the bottom of the pot is a little flat, and I also bought a spoon and a shovel. After the child is born, we have to cook by ourselves, and my husband is specially here to serve my confinement. There are more than three meals a day during the month, so it is more convenient to cook them yourself.
Walking with her husband with a big belly, I didn't feel very tired. The child was quiet in the womb, and she either fell asleep by the regular steps I walked, or she was quietly listening to my husband's conversation and trying to catch her father's voice. For a few months, she was so lonely, but now her parents are around, welcoming her arrival, and she wants her to make her voice echo in her ears.
At noon, I ate the rice noodles of the old shop on the street, and the taste of the rice noodles of the old shop was so fragrant, and I missed it very much if I didn't eat it for a long time. When I came back, I took a nap, and I was really tired of walking. Sleeping upside down on the wide bed, the sleepy insect was already humming a song. When I woke up and washed the clothes brought by my husband, my husband made egg noodles, which were not very delicious, and they were not as delicious as my father's cooking.
Dad fed a nest of chickens in an empty room on the third floor, and the puppy always ran to the chicken nest, which scared the chickens to run away. Last night, the pants I was drying in the yard were carried by it to the side of the flower bed, and they were covered with mud, and they usually ran into the house and took my shoes into the yard as playthings. I angrily leashed it in the kennel on the second floor, but it screamed so loudly that my dad hit it angrily and unchained it from its neck.
I was sweeping the floor on the 3rd floor, and when I heard the spicy strips stop screaming, I thought that my father had beaten the spicy strips to death, and I felt very sorry. My husband went down to wash my clothes (there is a large cement pool on the first floor, and the water from the water pipe is big and urgent), and he came up and said that the spicy strips are good, and I feel better, and I don't bother it anymore. If it dies today, I will be ashamed for the rest of my life, animals love freedom, and the chain around their necks is undoubtedly a wielding club.
In the morning, I turned to Honglin Street, and after passing by the clinic I frequented, I had the idea of having a birth there, because the hospital usually insisted that I have a caesarean section. The female doctor at this clinic is the main gynaecologist in the big hospital, and her husband usually sits in the shop.
Tomorrow is the due date, but I have no signs of giving birth, and I am quite anxious. The female doctor advised me to come back in another three to five days, and if there was no sign of giving birth, I would come back and use some medicine to induce the fetus to come down. I want to wait until the 22nd, and if there are no signs of giving birth by then, I'll go here and give birth early.
The lower bones are getting more and more painful, and it is difficult to get up again every time I lie down. I thought that this child would be born early, but it would be born later.
My stomach is also upset, and I vomited last night. Today, I originally told my husband not to eat, but I ended up eating a lot, and my husband went to buy me two boxes of stomach and digestion tablets last night.
As soon as I slept at night, I felt a wave of pain in my lower back. It hurt a little during the day, but now it's really hurting.
At ten o'clock in the evening, I felt the labor pain becoming more and more obvious, the dense pain hitting my waist, and I felt that I might be about to give birth. The pain became more and more urgent, as if the daughter in the womb was calling: Mom, I want to go out, I want to see you and Dad!
I called out to my husband, picked up the clothes I had prepared and went downstairs, and called out to my father to ask him to drive a senior motorcycle to take us to the health center.
After I arrived at the health center, I asked my father to go back, and my husband went to pay the fee and go through the formalities, and I lay on the operating table in the delivery room and waited. Not long after, the doctor said that there were five fingers in the uterine opening, and a female nurse next to me asked if I needed a caesarean section.
The bespectacled female doctor said, "Get ready! It's about to be born! She helped with her hand, and after a while she heard her say, "The head is out ......."
After a while, I heard the loud cry of a baby, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The child was taken out by my husband, and I continued to wait for the placenta to come out.
Not long after, with the help of the doctor, the placenta also came out. I continued to be left on the delivery bed for water. After the infusion, I got out of the delivery bed and walked to the ward. I felt so much easier on my feet.
The delivery room was full of women who gave birth to their second child by caesarean section. I'm proud, I overcame the pain and was born! The child's hair is so black and dense, as if she is wearing a wig, her skin is so ruddy, her eyes are so big and bright, she was born looking at her husband with wide open eyes, and she can only see that her husband is hairy in his heart.
