They've got one permanent babysitter at home and two other sets of grandparents to choose from should Kimberly ever not be available!<br /><br />I have completely pointlessly put those two baby toys in the nursery, not remembering I might not even play them properly until the baby is a toddler. But I like it anyway!<br /><br />And thanks! I actually like building community lots more than houses, provided I have a good idea. I'm crap at planning the layout for houses.<br /><br />Thanks for reading. :)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-40840688605580995062011-02-02T11:57:46.955+11:002011-02-02T11:57:46.955+11:00Aww, they are so lucky that they have their family...Aww, they are so lucky that they have their family right there and they'll have plenty of babysitters! <br /><br />The nursery is too cute!

I'm happy I get to use my hospital as much as I do, though I'd like to get even more use out of it. <br /><br />Nick and Sarah both have very close families, so this baby will probably end up spoiled!<br /><br />Thanks for reading. :)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-51448070759834301812011-02-02T04:56:19.089+11:002011-02-02T04:56:19.089+11:00Nick and Sarah are a very cute couple, and it'...Nick and Sarah are a very cute couple, and it's great that their families get along so well and want to be so involved in the baby's life.

It's a shame I don't think I'll have any more Sims working there until Chris graduates university!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Tanja</b>, I think Sarah and Nick will do pretty well too. They have no shortage of help and Kimberly's there all the time.<br /><br />I like to use family names in the middle, when I think to. It seems realistic to me.<br /><br />Oh, Maisie's baby store is so much better than mine! Mine needs a major overhaul. It's really something I just threw together one day. I think it was specifically for a photo of Gordon and Lia, when she was pregnant with Gabriel.<br /><br />The carpool won't come for pregnant Sims but you can either click the Sim and have them walk to work or they can use a car to drive there. If you have the pregnant Sim set as the owner of the car, I think they'll even go to work autonomously. When I play a pregnant Sim, I always make them go to work. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-3034959264228846972011-01-31T18:54:55.244+11:002011-01-31T18:54:55.244+11:00I'm sure Nick and Sarah will do great as paren...I'm sure Nick and Sarah will do great as parents! And they will get a lot of help from their families too, maybe too much sometimes!<br />I like the idea with the babynames, that are going to honor their dead relatives!<br /><br />Seeing yours and Maisie's babystore, makes me wish I had one too, so I'm going to put it on my, already very long, to do list!<br /><br />How do you make your sims go to work? I like the idea of letting the sims work, because like you said, it's something silly of maxis to let the sims stop working that soon!<br />I'm jealous of Sari, because in Belgium a pregnant woman stops working, at last a week before the duedate, and maternety leave ends when the baby is 3 months old!! But I've heard that Belgium has one of the shortest leaves in Europe ...<br />Anyway looking forward to the next update!Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054869544598274885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-88321472684161081612011-01-31T18:24:53.462+11:002011-01-31T18:24:53.462+11:00I meant to tell u over an N99 that I really love t...I meant to tell u over an N99 that I really love teh office.

I might have to pop in a time or two to check them out. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Sari</b>, Nick and Sarah really are very sweet. They're always wanting to kiss and flirt with each other; even once the baby was born, they still had some wants for each other in their panels. <br /><br />It's similar in Australia, though the amount of leave you get depends on who you work for (it's now always at least 18 weeks, because the government funds that much). But the point is, no one stays off work from their second trimester on unless they have a pressing medical reason, more serious than just simply being pregnant.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Shake</b>, they really are - I love playing Nick and Sarah!<br /><br />By the time you read this, the birthday post should be up.

I thi...Aww, Sarah and Nick are the sweetest couple. I think they're going to be wonderful parents. How nice that they're going to honor either Nick's grandfather or Sarah's mother with their choice of name for the baby.<br /><br />I think it's really weird that sims go on maternity leave when they enter second trimester. In Finland the maternity leave starts one month before the due date and ends when the baby is 9 months old. Often the mother-to-be gets a sick leave before the actual maternity leave if they do physically straining work to avoid a premature delivery. But never on the second trimester!Sarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475614188928695076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-90158453917034468592011-01-30T16:23:22.132+11:002011-01-30T16:23:22.132+11:00Haha I agree that this was a great teaser.

You weren't sure about them when they got together. But you know, Nick's pretty fond of her and he just had to marry her. ;)<br /><br />In game, the baby is born (and I'll write up the birthday post when I tear myself away from Body Shop!) and it's very strange thinking of Nick as a father! I guess it's because he was born in such unusual circumstances but his birth and childhood are still very clear in my mind and it doesn't seem that long ago.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Apple Valley</b>, LOL, you're too funny! I've done the same thing with other people's blogs.<br /><br />Nick and Sarah are both so <i>nice</i>, so I guess they influence those around them. This family really does get along so well. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Maisie</b>, aw, sorry! Tomorrow though, I promise! All the pictures are taken and once that's done, it usually doesn't take me long to write the update. I didn't really mind what sex Sarah and Nick had but I was happy with the outcome; I got to use the name I liked the best. ;)<br /><br />Nick's parents didn't get along nearly so well for quite a while during his childhood, so he really appreciates seeing them so friendly now, along with his step-parents (Caleb is still a bit funny about Jesse but he hides that from Nick). <br /><br />Ha, I always wondered why pregnant women seem so nutty for swimming and aquarobics! Now I know. I can imagine that would be a relief. <br /><br />If I remember where I got those pictures, I'll let you know. It's on the tip of my tongue. But I love them too. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-60751102007427756962011-01-30T13:44:46.139+11:002011-01-30T13:44:46.139+11:00Oh what a tease!

I think they'd be such sweet parents to a little girl to spoil. But a little boy for him to play catch with would equally nice. <br /><br />It's great that everyone gets along so well, that doesn't happen often in any world, sim or otherwise. That's gotta be nice for Nick to not have to not have that stress. <br /><br />Sarah is adorable pregnant, I love the shot of her getting out of the pool, let me tell you, getting in a pool is *the* best while pregnant, you feel light and like your old self... getting out, you feel like you weigh a ton more than when you got in, and pretty much like a beached whale. I can see why Sarah would pick to swim, less strain than out of water!<br /><br />Lastly, I really like the pictures in the nursery, I want those in real life.maisiehttp://www.retromaisie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-20989489130489957002011-01-30T12:04:44.469+11:002011-01-30T12:04:44.469+11:00I can't wait for the baby, hubby doesn't u...I can't wait for the baby, hubby doesn't understand why I am willing to be late just to read this post :) That is amazing about the families getting along so well, wow.Apple Valleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211791410107503046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-85387942914617348062011-01-30T11:37:44.389+11:002011-01-30T11:37:44.389+11:00Okay, I'm sold on Sarah.
