Speaking exercise

My older sister have pregnant, she feels not good recently, because she always wants to puke. From last week, she came back home because she feels better when she’s at home. The food is better for her taste. She just got pregnant for 2 months. I think she is prefers a boy, if it is a girl, it’s also good for her, because she also like girls. For her husband’s family, it’s better to be a boy. At the beginning, my sister doesn’t want a second baby, because she feels stressed financially. In China, to raise a child is very expensive, you need to worry a lot of things. Her husband want to have a second baby because children can have company.
