Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Mineral ISBI. Coming up...Babies. YAY!
You probably can't tell, but here Christy is pulling her SECOND group meal out of the oven. She is awesome. Not only has she made two group meals autonomously, she has also gotten a promotion (although she did get a demotion before that, but that was a bad chance card.)
And, as always (because all major events in the sims happen in the bathroom) Christy pops in the bathroom.
Again, Chalce worries more about the bills than his wife.
Chalce: But they're yellow! That's urgent!
And, as she's always painting, the second pop happens there.
She fell asleep a lot while eating.
Hey Chalce, you think you'd wake your wife up!
Chalce: No thanks, too busy gaining relationship points with her.
Whu?
Second time. That looks like it hurts.
Christy: zzzshut upzzzzzz
But seriously! Your face is going through the bowl!
Christy: zzzzI'm pregnant, what do you zzzz expect?zzzzzz
And after waking up, she wets herself. Which Chalce laughs at. Geez, Chalce, I though you were nice!
Chalce: No, not really. I don't have the time of day to be compassionate. Hi, Christy! Sorry I can't help you through your mental breakdown. I have to make a toaster pastry.
Third time.
After which she stands up and has the quickest labor ever! I couldn't even pause before she popped out the baby and set it on the floor. No screaming, no spin, nothing. The baby just appeared in her arms.
It's a girl, and her name is Cassiterite.
I redid the house, what with the baby there. There's now a second floor, and...No windows. Whoops. I'm awful at building.
After giving birth, Christy goes straight back to bed without even putting her daughter in a crib.
Christy: Hey! I'm tired! You try being a pregnant lady on EAxis's stupid autonomy program!
Good point.
Cassy will stay in their room for a little while. I don't know why. I don't normally do this, but it seemed cute and if she's crying one of them will have to wake up rather than just ignoring her.
And, as Chalce was at work, the baby stayed on the floor for a while. At least Christy fed her.
This is the floor plan for the second floor. It's just one big room off to the side. Since then, I've found that it's easier to handle it with one floor.
There! I put in windows! But then I couldn't afford paint for the top floor, oh well.
Christy (while eating a moldy toaster pastry that is at least five days old): Stupid baby, crying on the floor.
And then she passes out again, really close to her bed. I don't recall why the plumbbob was on her, but I didn't give her an action at the time.
Chalce got promoted.
Chalce: -500! My life sucks! My wife is passed out on the floor and I have to change a diaper!
Oh yeah. It doesn't get much worse than that. [/sarcasm]
Woah! Who are you and why didn't I marry you to Chalce?
Her name is Kerie Toyanaga, and I am marrying her in as soon as possible. She's beautiful.
This is what a spread-out dart board looks like. AKA, this is how God plays darts.
Even though Chalce really needs to sleep, I send him out to talk to her.
And then she comes in and eats watermelon. She's already part of the family.
Ok, I hope nobody plays darts with that guy!
Are you actually going to pick up your baby, Christy?
Christy: Nope.
Goopy: This used to be my bedroom. And now it's a study. Joy.
Chalce got a huge aspiration boost from being scared by a ghost. Gosh, I love knowledge sims.
Why are there various z's spread out about the room?
There's another one... (sorry, I know these are really tiny.)
Chalce picked up Cassie while she was sleeping, and carried her to the kitchen. The z's still came out, but her eyes were open. Creepy!
Even as she grew up she was still "sleeping."
Luckily it stopped once she was a toddler.
This is her gigantic room. I started to hate it, because it took forever to get up the stairs. But I didn't have enough money to renovate.
Chalce: Think about how I feel, having to go up all those stairs whenever she has to go to the bathroom!
Eventually, to afford a toilet up there (so Chalce didn't have to walk all the way downstairs to empty the potty) we had to take out half the flooring. It really doesn't seem safe at all.
Geez! Another promotion!
Oh, how sweet...If Cassie wasn't chewing on the doll.
Cassie: But feet twaste gwood!
Chalce, you might want to try and kill that habit.
Chalce: And then the non-shoe eating man when and put shoes on his feet, not in his mouth.
Her first word was "high chair". Despite Chalce's best efforts to make it "Daddy".
Chalce: C'mon, honey, say Daddy.
Cassie: Nope.
Chalce: High chair?
Cassie: High chair!
They still have some of their wedding cake left. And it makes me wonder, how do they hold up the top part if they've taken all the cake from the bottom?
The nanny is pretty good, although she does give her food when she's stinky. But she was hungry too so it can be forgiven.
There Christy is in her new uniform! Good job. She really is an awesome NTH.
Chalce: Say bottle.
Cassie: bottle!
Chalce: Now say daddy.
Cassie: Uh-uh.
Christy: Let's grow you up now. Chalce, give it up.
Cassie: Ok mommy!
Chalce: Really?
Cassie: I don't wanna grow up. Then he gonna force me to say daddy.
Chalce: Yes! She said it!
Cassie, the glowing baby, grew up fittingly into alien pajamas.
Cassie: I grew up well too!
Her nose is a bit big, but she's still adorable.
I changed her hair to her mother's old hair. It works on kids, not on adults. And I love her everyday. She's such a little tomboy!
So I made her room reflect that. She was obsessed with the xylophone when she was little, so she gets an easel. There's also a remote-controlled toy.
Which she loves.
Aw, Christy still is a pretty good mother!
She is a family sim after all.
And she is still obsessed with it in the morning. Christy's started a painting of her own in her daughter's room. Sigh. And I thought Cassie was the one who would enjoy it.
Chalce: So Cassie, now that you're grown up you can enjoy watermelon.
Cassie: I like growing up.
Cassie: But I don't like school.
But you haven't even been there yet!
This is a weird mixed watermelon-hair thing.
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to watermelon fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Watermelon Fields forever.
-From Strawberry Fields Forever by the Beatles.
Yeah, there's nothing naughty going on here.
Nothing at all.
I left Chalce on free will for a little while, and he went to sponge-bathe. You do realize that there's a bath right next to you, right?
It was too amusing to cancel the action.
Ah, the trusty watermelon strikes again!
Kids napping is so cute. I love Cassie.
She even plays chess with her daddy.
So, backstory on this:
I got notices that the bills needed to be payed. Click on the mailbox. Nothing. Look all around. Can't find them. Finally I go and look where the portraits and urns are. Find the bills on one of the coffee tables. Grr. So I put little flowers on each place until I have all the urns so I don't get this again.
Again? Wow Christy, you're on fire. Nice job with getting a promotion.
And then she passed out.
Christy: ButzzzzzI made money!zzzzzzz
Christy: There's this weird feeling in my stomach, like....
Christy: I'm pregnant!
Cassie is adorable. Although a tomboy, she loves playing the piano.
She in fact maxed it while still a child.
Chalce was at work, really close to getting a promotion, but then one of his friends stopped being his friend. So I used Christy's adult action to call someone she had been friends with till recently. Chalce did get the promotion.
As you may recall, before I took pictures of townies that had cool names. Here's the list.
Noelle Charvat (vampire)
Tammy Curtin (Cool last name!)
Vyn Hourvitz (Diva, just seems like a cool name)
Aiyona Mace (unfortunately an elder female)
Luc McClellan (the guy with the suit and weird necktie)
Kerie Toyonaga (you saw her above)
Ramin Miguel (this is hilarious to me because I love ramin noodles)
Sierra Creelman (I just like the name)
Cleve Tang
Tristen McCarthy (surprisingly a little girl)
Sullivan Barrett
Tucker Bar
Lee Lewis (repairman)
That's it! As always, leave comments, and thanks!
