Round 31: September 2034 (Spring)
Sam Whitney is 25 and Susannah Carmody is 24.
I was so relieved that when it was time for the baby to come, it was late at night and Sam was around to take me to the hospital. I had nightmares about going into labour while he was at work and having the baby on the living room floor before he even got home from work!
I saw Dr. Clarke all the way through my pregnancy and she was there with us for the birth as well.
Sam and I were both pretty terrified but Dr. Clarke is very no-nonsense. If either of started to freak out, she was quick to calm us down. I was in a lot of pain, so she had to do that quite a bit!
It was amazing how that all flew out of my mind once I was holding our little boy in my arms. His name is Zachary Damian and we're going to call him Zac for short.
Now we just have to hope we're ready to take care of him for the next 18 years!Notes:
- First of all, I just want to say a quick thank you to whoever made the secret featuring me and Maisie yesterday. I found out about it while I was out having a very lovely day and it put an even bigger smile on my face. So thank you again, Secret Maker! I will indeed keep on posting. ;)
- Zac has green eyes, which is no surprise, seeing Sam and Susannah both do. Lamely, he also has blonde hair instead of the red I was hoping for. He is a boy though, which is what I was wanting. Can't win 'em all!
Yay for a little boy, I can't wait to see what Zac looks like, it's always the most exciting with new genes (aka first born), cause you just don't know at all! If this works out for them in the long haul, then maybe they'll have that red head, or a bunch of blondies like Nicole had. I do wonder why that happened.
ReplyDeleteSo funny you used the name Zachary, it's one of of our new neighbors son's names, so I put it on my list to use, haha. I shamelessly steal names from neighbors, the other girl is Ella, so already used in my hood. Actually, the only kid in my block whose name I haven't used is Zachary and Chandler, I just realized that.
Sooo yay! A baby! Geez, ramble fest. I can't wait to see them in their new home, with the new baby! I'm excited to see it in action. And ahem... any tiny apartment photos you might have on your computer for sharing... ;P
Maisie, I'm always a bit nervous about first borns - you've never sure how the genes will mix! But I've been pretty lucky so far, so fingers crossed! Neither Susannah or Sam are allowed BC, so we might see another kid from them soon. I'm hoping not though, personally!
ReplyDeleteI steal names from everywhere! The class rolls at school are my main source, I have to say.
Sam and Susannah aren't in a tiny apartment though! They're living in the new apartment building I built, which is a lot of things but it isn't tiny. I did go back and add a picture of Matilda and Miles' tiny apartment (which they're no longer living in) to their wedding post though. :)
Thanks for reading!
First of all about the secret love; it's well deserved!! And I can only stand by the creator of it and aks you to please keep posting :)
ReplyDeleteNow to the update :) I'm glad they had a boy, and I really love the name Zachary, or Zac, I've got to keep that one mind for future babies in SimsVille (which are a lot at the moment!)
Too bad you didn't get the redhead you wanted, but maybe next time it will be a redhead ...
I'm looking forward to seening little Zac growing up, and as Maisie I think it's going to be interesting since he's the first born with new genes :)
Welcome little Zachary!
Yay! A boy! I think they will be great parents, and I'm glad everyone came out of the labor and delivery okay.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your simsecret!!!
ReplyDeleteAww, a little baby boy, so exciting. Green eyed blondes are so cute.
Ooh I loved Miles and Matilda's place! I don't have those in my game, I'll have to add them in today! Somehow I totally missed the one bedroom in the lower level. And yep, I did know that these were going into your new apartments, I'm excited to see them in action, they look gorgeous in your tour.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that Sam and Susannah don't have another too quickly, and that they can enjoy Zac a little bit and adjust to parenthood. I'm really excited to see how this is panning out for them. When do we get an update from them and how Susannah is adjusting to Zac and living with a boy?
Congrats on the baby boy (even with blond hair) and for the secret! You totally deserve it and I hope you keep posting forever and ever ever!
ReplyDeleteTanja, thank you! And don't worry about that - sometimes I think everyone else will get sick of this blog long before I do, lol!
ReplyDeleteIf these Sam and Susannah never give me a redhead, I can think of a few other as-yet-childless couples who have a good shot at a redhead too. But I'd rather ALL those couples give me some redheaded babies, lol!
Thanks for reading!
Riverdale, I hope so! We'll check in with Sam and Susannah next round and see how they're doing with Zac.
Thanks for reading!
Apple Valley, thank you, it was a nice surprise to be mentioned. :)
I love green-eyed blondes too, like Susannah. And I don't have many green-eyed Sims in the hood, that I can think of, so Zac is definitely filling a void there.
Thanks for reading!
Maisie, I did like their tiny apartment but Matilda had so much money and I couldn't see them staying there long. Combined with what Miles had, they had more than enough to buy a house.
I have my fingers crossed that Susannah can stay un-pregnant for a good while! I want them to have time to settle in with Zac. I have drafted my play schedule for next round and at this point, it's looking like Sam and Susannah will appear in October 2035. I might still change things around but they'll definitely be in the first half of the round. :)
Mandie, thank you! I hope so too - I'd love to do this for a long time yet. :)
Thanks for reading!
Yay! Welcome to the world of sims Zachary! I'm glad you got the boy you were hoping for! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Congrats on your secret!
Zac is adorable :). I can't wait to see who he takes after as he ages. And congrats on the secret :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Welcome little Zac! (Love the name! :D ) Too bad about the blonde hair, but maybe if Susannah and Sam stay together and decide to have another, a little redhead will come along too... :)
ReplyDeletecoolkat2, me too! I've been getting sick of the gender imbalances though, so I give myself two reloads when my Sims give birth now. If I still get the wrong sex after that, I have to live with it! I wanted to keep some randomness in there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading!
Mizzgin03, oh, me too! I would love it if he had Susannah's cute little nose!
Thanks for reading!
Shana, heh, I thought you might appreciate that name! The blonde hair was a bit of a bummer but I'm hoping someone else gives me one. Such a dearth of redheads around Sullivan, especially redhead boys! I've never had one born in game!
Thanks for reading!
Aww, a little boy! I'm sure little Zac will turn out handsome, he certainly has nice genes.
ReplyDeleteSari, I'm still a little sad I wasn't able to get Sam's face exactly as it was before. :\ So I'm kind of hoping Zac takes after Susannah or magically looks like Sam V1!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading!
If there's someone in Sullivan who will never get unemployed, it's Josie! *giggle*
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Zac, and best wishes for Susannah and Sam!
Sandy, no, there's almost always something for my doctors to do! Medicine is a very stable profession in Sullivan. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading!
Welcome little Zac! I'm excited to see what he looks like when he ages up for the reasons everyone else already mentioned. I hope their genes blend well. Too bad you didn't get that red headed boy but he will come! And congrats on your secret!
ReplyDeleteDanielle, thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, I'd love a little Susannah clone! Seeing she was adopted, no one else looks like her and she's so cute. As for the red hair, well...hopefully. It's pretty crazy that I've never had one! I think Steve, Jack and Sam are the only redheaded males in the entire hood.
Thanks for reading!
Welcome baby Zachary! I love the name Damien for a middle name--you don't hear it very often. Too bad about the red hair (I am lamenting the same thing with my own daughter--her father has lovely red hair, but she seems to have inherited a reddish brown color instead).
ReplyDeleteRachel, no, you don't hear Damien a lot! I think it's because of that The Omen movie. The main cultural association being the son of the devil seems to turn people off!
ReplyDeleteLOL about you feeling the same way about your daughter's hair! Hair is funny though - it usually darkens as you get older but I know of some people who have had it do the opposite. So she could end up with red hair after all. I've got two women pregnant currently in Sullivan (I won't say who ;)) and I'm hoping one of them will come through with the goods for me, lol!
