"Because I wanted to give you a surprise! Besides, my parents are paranoid about me doing something stupid again, so they're keeping a close eye on me at all times.It felt really uncomfortable, so I figured I'd come over in advance!" Joyce replied with a chuckle.
"They're just worried about you,, " Natalie said.
Joyce let out a sigh.
"I know, but it puts me under a lot of pressure!"
"I suppose that's true.Still, why would they let you come over if they're that worried about you?" Natalie asked curiously.
"Because of you!"
Joyce giggled.
Natalie pointed at herself in confusion.
"Me? What does this have to do with me?"
"My parents are okay with me coming over because you and your husband will look after me.They believe that you'll keep me from doing anything stupid again”
Joyce explained.
Natalie rolled her eyes at her upon hearing that.
"That may be true, but we're not going to be watching over you all the time.You're the one who has to keep yourself from doing anything stupid.."
"Don't worry; I won't do anything stupid again.I need to watch this child of mine grow up, after all!"
Joyce rubbed her tummy with a motherly smile on her face.
Natalie broke into a smile too when she saw that.
"I'm glad to hear that, Joyce.How have you been feeling lately? Are you experiencing any discomfort?"
Joyce nodded profusely.
"Yeah, I've been feeling kind of nauseous.."
"That's normal for pregnant women” Natalie replied.
Joyce grabbed her by the arm as she said, "Yeah, I know that much.I just don't know the details.You have experience with this, so could you tell me what I should pay attention to during pregnancy?"
