Claudia Kirby is quite relieved. Jacob's long hours working as a fire fighter had her worried that when she went into labour, he wouldn't be there. Luckily, Baby Kirby has conveniently decided to arrive on a Tuesday, which just happens to be Jacob's day off.
Claudia's very glad to have Jacob with her. He deals with emergencies every day, so he's good at keeping calm under pressure.
What's more, Josie Clarke, Claudia's cousin and close friend, will be delivering the baby.
A couple of days later, Jacob and Claudia are ready to go home with their new baby girl!
Claudia is taking a year's maternity leave from her job to spend time with Daphne Christina and get used to being a mother.
Also this month, playable NPCs Amber Dawn and Elmer Miguel welcomed their first child, Joaquin Zacarias Miguel.Notes:
- The baby boom continues! Daphne has dark blue eyes, like Claudia, and brown hair, like both her parents. She got an unexpressed blonde gene from one of them - both Jacob and Claudia carry one. I'm mostly just excited that she got Claudia's skin tone. Declan and Caitlin both take after Finn, so up until now, Megan, Claudia and Victoria have been Sullivan's only members of the Pale Force. I'm hoping Victoria's third will have the fair skin as well - just to get some more variety in the hood!
- I think Joaquin will be Amber and Elmer's only child (playable NPCs don't have to follow the BC rules that my playables do - they all go on BC as soon as I'm ready for them to), so I took advantage of what may be my only opportunity to use a very Spanish name!
Congratulations to Claudia and Jacob for a beautiful baby girl! I like the name too, Daphne Kirby has a nice ring to it :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Amber and Elmer as well.
You had me giggle out loud just by mentioning Pale Force, lol!
LOL at Pale Force.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to them on the baby girl! I also like the name Daphne and am excited to see who she takes after, features-wise.
And congrats to Amber and Elmer, too! Joaquin is a cool name. I don't see/hear it very often.
Yay for baby Daphne! I'm excited to see what she looks like when she's older, especially since Claudia is so unique herself.
ReplyDeleteAwe Daphne is a sweet name. Like scooby doo. :) which I actually like too. I'm looking forward to toddler pictures, and seeing who she takes after more. Lol on the Pale Force.
ReplyDeleteI like the name Joaquin too. Looking forward to the littletyke and curious on his personality. ;)
Sari, Daphne was almost Christina Daphne but I switched it around at the last minute. I'm glad I did!
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling you'd get the Pale Force reference! I know you're also a Conan fan.
Thanks for reading!
Danielle, oooh, last night, when I was setting everything up again after fixing Wade and Amelia, I almost aged Daphne up to see! I'm trying to be patient though, and wait.
The only Joaquin I know of is Joaquin Phoenix! Last night when I was adding this Joaquin to my notes, I typed "Joaquin Phoenix" instead of "Joaquin Miguel" at least 3 times before I got it right, lol!
Thanks for your comment. :)
Rachel, yes, I'm very curious about how Daphne will turn out! I did a little surgery on Claudia when she was a kid, though I made it genetic so it'll pass onto Daphne, if she ends up taking after her mum.
Thanks for reading. :)
Maisie, I didn't think of Scooby Doo! I was vaguely thinking about a girl I know from a forum I post at, who is also named Daphne.
I'm happy I have Grace and Everett and then Jacinta to age up this year. It'll tide me over until I can age these two little ones up. Very excited, especially about Daphne!
Thanks for reading. :)
Love that name, and gorgeous shot with her laying on the bed, and Jacob nearby. Evoked a lot of emotion in that shot~
ReplyDeleteDrew, I'm glad you like that one - I like it a lot too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading!
Different baby outfits! Wow, do you actually quit, swap the baby clothing download, restart, wait 15-20 for the neighborhood to load between deliveries? That's called dedication...
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have a faster way of swapping baby clothing in game?
lepifera, oh, goodness no! I did Amber and Claudia's births on the same day but I forgot to take pictures of Amber's. So I loaded up the next day, after I'd already swapped the baby clothes out (I generally swap them after each session where I do anything baby-related).
ReplyDeleteMy game takes a hell of a lot longer than 15-20 minutes to load! There's no way I'd quit just for baby clothes!
ROFL I forgot about pale force. I loved that skit! Happy borthday guys!
ReplyDeleteRiverdale, my sister and I are card-carrying members of the Pale Force, so we reference that skit often, lol!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading!
Welcome little Daphne and Joaquim!!
ReplyDeleteLOL at the Pale Force!
I have to say Carla, you did (yet again) an amazing job with the posing in the hospital! I hope to be as good as you at it one day!!
Tanja, aw, thank you! That's very sweet of you. I tried out some new poses this time, so they didn't turn out exactly as I imagined but I'm going to practise with them some more. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. :)
