(Eliot is 45, Cordy is 38 and Lila is 18)

Narrated by Zaria Royce-Nihill

Josh is planning on going into journalism when he graduates but I keep telling him he should consider politics. I think he'd be fantastic at it. He's been working as a door-to-door poller after school and wasn't having much success with responses, so he hit on the idea of phone polls. People have been much more receptive to answering questions over the phone.

You say it's your birthday, June 2029

When Cordy Lane felt the baby coming, she was all alone in the brand new family home. Eliot was at work and all three boys were at school.

You say it's your birthday, March 2029

Eliot and Cordy have moved into their new house with just a few months to go until the arrival of their fourth and final baby. Baby Lane is due in June 2029.

Notes:

• If one of my pregnant women has to have a girl, I'd rather it be Cordy. I just remembered the other day that I never got my girl who looks like Naomi, and seeing Eliot looks a lot like Naomi, this is my one chance. But I'll be happy if they have a boy too, seeing I still want my crazy all-boy family!
• The house is finally done, as those of you who saw the lot tour at N99 would know. Looking forward to actually playing them in it. :) It's the Lake Oswego, Oregon house from MTS - that series is a good one for those of you who like large houses too, by the way.
  

You say it's your birthday, January 2029

Cordy is now 4 months along with her and Eliot's fourth child! Eliot is really making sure to enjoy this time because Cordy has made it clear that this will definitely be their last baby!

Just a short birthdays post today.

The birth of Eliot and Cordy's twins is fast approaching! They've got the nurseries prepared already and Cordy's feeling fantastic, so all they can do is sit back and wait!

Notes:

• I'm already building up a name bank for the twins because I found it so hard to name Timothy! I think I was racking my brain for at least half an hour!
