Round 33: April 2037 (Autumn)
Narrated by Lia Nott
I’m sure I’ve been driving Dr. Sitko crazy with all my fretting but he has, as usual, been so helpful and reassuring.
The idea of a fourth child at 40, completely unplanned and 10 years after our third child, has taken some getting used to for both me and Gordon.
Fortunately, we didn’t have anything to worry about, at least as far as labour went. It was just as free of complications as Gabriel’s birth was, which was such a relief.
And now we have a little baby boy! Gordon and I weren’t hoping for one sex or the other but Gabriel was secretly hoping for a brother.
**********
Matilda Jacobson is now in her third trimester and husband Miles is used to seeing her up and ready for the day by the time he gets up for work at 6. She’s big enough now that she’s too uncomfortable to sleep for too long, so she’s often up at the crack of dawn.
Other than that, all is going well. Miles and Matilda can't wait to meet their baby, due to arrive in August.Notes:
- I am, in case you were wondering, aware of the existence of Peter Gabriel. ;) I picked out Peter almost as soon as Lia got pregnant, just because it seemed like a name she'd like. Then I remembered he'd have a brother named Gabriel and considered not using it. I decided it wasn't that big a deal, seeing I don't have particularly strong feelings one way or the other about Peter Gabriel, so I used it anyway. They're just Sims, after all!
- Peter has black hair (surprise, surprise!) and brown eyes. I'm very curious whether he'll inherit any of Lia's features.
- This was all done before I decided on specialisations for my doctors; I'm still planning on making Cara the OB-GYN.
Aww Peter is the perfect name for this new baby. I was trying to think what he/she would be called and as soon as I read Peter I thought of course... haha. What name did you have picked out for a girl? I would love to know.
ReplyDeleteI know I have said this before but I am so so so excited to see Matilda and Miles' baby! Not long now :)
Oh and a quick question about your angled OMSPs if you could help. In my game I can use them ok but can't work out how to adjust the height- they don't seem to do it the same way as the other standard ones. I don't know whether you would know why or not but thanks anyway!
I thought Peter was pretty perfect as well. If he'd been a girl, he would have been Cecily Antonia. :)
DeleteI can't wait to see Matilda and Miles' baby either. I'm playing Amar and Adrienne today though and right after I finish, I'll be doing Maia and Ethan's birth, so that will be exciting enough. :)
The angled OMSPs don't move up and down on their own. You have to place your Sim on the angled OMSP and then place the angled OMSP on top of a shiftable OMSP. Then you'll be able to adjust the height by grabbing the shiftable and pressing [ and ]. :)
Thanks for reading!
Finally the update, you've been teasing us with pictures of Lia and the baby, and I've been wondering ever since you posted the first picture what they had and how they named their new baby! :)
ReplyDeleteSo another boy for this couple! And I like the name Peter, I didn't even think about Peter Gabriel untill you mentioned it, lol, it does suit them, and it fits in perfectly with his brother and sisters.
I really can't wait to find out what Miles and Matilda are having, and of course after that, and so anxious to see who he or she will look like the most :)
Heh, believe me, I was just as keen to get this update up as you were to see it. ;)
DeleteI figured not everybody would think of Peter Gabriel but I thought someone was bound to, so I thought I'd explain first. Once I got the name in my head though, I couldn't think of anything else that would suit.
I'm keen to meet Miles and Matilda's baby too. A first baby is always the most exciting for me, for any couple.
Thanks for reading!
Aww, the new baby is such a cutie, their family is "hopefully" complete now. I wonder how Matilda is dealing with her papparizi and fans now that she's pregnant.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping this is the last kid for Lia and Gordon! She's on BC (and was when she got pregnant too) and she's over 40, so that has to lower the chances. Right? LOL.
DeleteMatilda will appear in Adrienne and Amar's update, when I get that out (either tomorrow or the day after), so you'll see more of her then. :)
Thanks for reading!
Adorable baby Peter :). Poor Lia, pregnant at 40 does not sound like any fun at all! Hopefully their family is now complete :)
ReplyDeleteLia's never really enjoyed pregnancy much in the first place and it would have taken a greater toll on her body this time. :\ So she's just glad Peter is here now and has her fingers crossed she won't have any more babies. ;)
DeleteThanks for reading!
Sorry about that deleted comment. I was replying to a comment on my own blog and oh well... I shouldn't have two blogs open at the same time!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I have James Dean (Cooper, Grace and Sam's son) in my hood so brothers called Peter and Gabriel are fine by me ;) Besides I like the name Peter and it sounds exactly like a name that Lia would choose.
I can't wait to see what Matilda and Miles have. I think they're such a cute couple, their baby is bound to be adorable! :)
Heh, don't worry about it. I deleted the "stub" comment just then. :)
DeleteI forgot about James Dean, though I think I noticed it at the time! Yeah, I just decided it wasn't a big enough deal to bother changing the name. So Peter it is!
No one else in the hood looks like Matilda or Miles, so their baby (and especially seeing that baby age to toddler) is extra exciting for me. :)
Thanks for reading!
Aww, Peter is so cute! How exciting for them. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see Matilda and Miles's baby--they are both so attractive that it's sure to be a beautiful baby. :)
Heh, they're all cute in the beginning! ;) I'm hoping little Peter turns out looking at least a bit more like Lia. The other kids have been most unco-operative with that.
DeleteMatilda and Miles are a lovely looking pair, so I'm hoping their genes mix well with Baby Jacobson!
Thanks for reading!
I think Peter fits their naming style really well, and hey at least it's Gabriel first, generally when you talk about your kids, you do so in order, and it's not as noticeable then.
ReplyDeleteI'm just absolutely shocked he has black hair though! ;) Their kids can only have black right, Gordon is double black haired isn't he? Might have some cute blond grandbabies though. I can't believe it's been 10 years since Gabriel was born, I didn't realize they were *that* far apart!
True, Lia and Gordon would be more likely to talk about "Gabriel and Peter", as opposed to "Peter and Gabriel", which would be funnier and a bit more obvious a connection!
DeleteI know, right? Imagine a child of Lia and Gordon's with black hair! Yeah, Gordon is a townie, so he's only got two black hair genes, which is a bit boring of him. ;) Definitely a chance for some blonde grandkids though!
Thanks for reading!
I already commented over at N99 but welcome little Peter Lawrence! That is the perfect name for their son and I can’t wait to see what he looks like. Most likely a little Gordon since most of their children look just like him lol. Now they have the perfect 2 boy/2 girl family.
ReplyDeleteAnd we’re so close to knowing what Miles and Matilda have! Yay!
I think we're definitely awaiting another Gordon clone here! I would love it if he wasn't but what are the odds? He's got the colouring and I expect he will have The Nose as well!
DeleteI'm playing Caleb and Cara today and then I'll be doing Miles and Matilda's baby right after that. :D
Thanks for reading!
Awww, welcome Peter Lawrence!!! I'm happy everything was OK for Lia!
ReplyDeleteMatilda and Miles are expecting a baby!!! I find them both amazingly lovely, so I can't wait to see the baby!!! He/she will be a cuteness overload, for sure!
Lia and Gordon having another baby was quite the surprise but they're happy about it now (Gordon always was, secretly!) Annabel and Georgina will be off to college in a few years, which I think Lia will find really difficult, so Peter will give her something else to focus on when she starts fretting too much. :)
DeleteI'm so keen to age up Miles and Matilda's baby but it's only February in game now and I need to wait until August!
