Chapter 1410 Quinnie's Postpartum Depression
Lilly was in the middle of her meal when she suddenly heard Edward's phone beep, and a voice
message played out loud:
'Yeee Yaaa! Awoo! Dada!'
Lilly was taken aback and suddenly remembered that Jonas' baby should have been born by now!
Last year, when she came back for Christmas, Quinnie was already about three months pregnant.
She calculated the days and realized their baby should be four months old now.
"Wow! Is this Uncle Jonas' baby?" Lilly suddenly got excited.
Edward said, "Yes! Yes! He's a big chubby boy. He weighed 12 pounds at birth and was the heaviest
baby in the entire hospital."
Lilly was shocked.
Bettany added, "Yes. When the due date was still a week away, we were worried sick and wanted to
have a cesarean section in advance... But Quinnie believed that the baby had already endured a week
inside the womb, which was equivalent to a month outside, so she insisted on waiting until full term for
the cesarean section."
The doctors couldn't believe it when they estimated the baby's weight to be 12 pounds. They doubted
the machines and their medical skills, but they never doubted if the baby was really that big.
In the end, it turned out to be true...
"During the last week, Grandma was worried sick. Any baby over eight pounds is considered a big
baby, and we were afraid that the baby would suddenly come out, causing Quinnie a lot of suffering."
Fortunately, the baby was well-behaved, and Quinnie felt contractions on the day of the cesarean
section. The baby was born smoothly.
Lilly sighed. "Aunt Quinnie has worked hard!"
Regardless of how it was done, a cesarean section involved making an incision to take the baby out.
No matter how skilled the doctors were or how well they took care of the mother afterward, it would still
damage the body.
Lilly thought to herself that when Quinnie came over tomorrow, she would make a special meal just for
her to ensure her good recovery.
Bettany couldn't help but sigh and worry at the mention of Quinnie. "Quinnie seems to be experiencing
postpartum depression..."
Lilly was taken aback. "How is that possible?"
In her impression, Quinnie was very cheerful and always smiling. She had a youthful heart and loved
comics and dolls.
Bettany said, "It seems that she has been unable to regain her figure after giving birth. It's strange
because no matter how much she exercises or controls her diet, she can't lose weight."
She wanted to advise her to take it slow. After all, the baby was only four months old.
Perhaps due to her profession, many female celebrities could recover their pre-pregnancy state
overnight after giving birth. Coupled with some unfavorable public opinion, it was indeed pressure for
her.
Lilly listened silently and kept it in her heart.
"Uncle Edward, I want to talk to my little brother!" Lilly still had something greasy in her hand.
Edward gladly pressed the voice button for her.
Lilly said, "Uncle Jonas, Aunt Quinnie, Merry Christmas! Mr. and Mrs. Woods, Merry Christmas!"
"Little brother, come early tomorrow. I will give you a big gift!"
She didn't mention a gift specifically to Quinnie. She thought as Quinnie's former friend, Quinnie must
not want to be treated specially.
The voice message was sent.
On the other side, Jonas looked at the two voice messages Edward sent.
He didn't even want to open them!
He knew without thinking that it was him showing off again.
Jonas snorted and threw his phone aside.
Quinnie finished eating and came over to take over. Upon seeing the situation, she asked curiously,
"What's wrong?"
Quinnie, who had just given birth, had gained weight. She didn't know why her body shape was out of
control.
She had received professional postpartum exercise guidance and ate food prepared by a high-level Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
nutritionist, but she still couldn't lose weight.
She used to weigh just over ninety pounds, but now she weighed one hundred and forty pounds.
Gaining weight was already anxiety-inducing, but when all efforts to lose weight failed, it was the most
frustrating blow.
Jonas freed one hand and pulled Quinnie into his arms before kissing her forehead. He said, "Lilly is
back, and everyone is excited in the family group chat."
She exclaimed, "Lilly is back?"
They had agreed to hold the wedding when she returned, but she hadn't returned, and with her belly
getting bigger, the wedding had been postponed.
The Crawford family had originally decided not to wait for Lilly and hold the wedding after she finished
her confinement...
But Quinnie felt disappointed. After giving birth, she had become too fat.
She didn't dare to have this wedding now. She was extremely anxious and afraid of how others would
see her like this.
Jonas suggested announcing it on Twitter first, but she rejected the idea. She believed the best
announcement should be her, Jonas, and the baby appearing together, but how could she appear
now?
Upon seeing her subtle change in expression, Jonas hugged her again and distracted her attention.
"Yeah. We'll go back tomorrow. I'm thinking about the gift we should give Lilly."
He had a headache. Lilly didn't lack anything, and she had more and better things of her own...
Quinnie thought for a moment. "For girls, the most popular gifts are usually lipstick, cosmetics, and
handbags—at least most girls like them."
Jonas smiled and said, "She's over ten years old now. Lipstick, cosmetics, and handbags are not
suitable for her. That's why I'm having a hard time. How about I hand this task over to you?"
Quinnie nodded. She no longer had time to feel anxious as she had been racking her brain for ideas
about what gift to give Lilly.
At the restaurant.
Grace perked up her ears. Was Lilly back?
Hmm... Tomorrow, her sister and brother-in-law would return to the Crawford family. Considering that
they would have a baby with them and it would be inconvenient for them to carry things, she reluctantly
decided to send them over!
"I'm full. Mom and Dad, you can take your time." Grace put down her fork and spoon.
Eloise asked, "Are you already full?"
Osmond also stood up and said, "I'm full too."
Eloise frowned and said, "Sit down! Jonas hasn't eaten yet, so sit, wait for him, and then eat with him."
He sat down obediently and glanced at his slightly protruding belly.
He should eat a little more and gain some weight himself so that his daughter wouldn't feel anxious
about gaining weight!
"Go ahead and eat," Quinnie said.
Jonas handed the baby to her.
Quinnie took the baby. The baby was no longer crying, but it kept babbling and reaching for the phone.
She picked it up and casually opened Edward's voice message.
It turned out to be Lilly's voice.
"Uncle Jonas, Aunt Quinnie, Merry Christmas!"
Jonas was surprised!
He felt like he had missed out on a great opportunity.
