You say it's your birthday, May 2035

Not much time left until Olivia Nihill's third child is born. She's in the process of preparing lots and lots of clothes for the upcoming addition.

Steve and Olivia don't mind what sex this baby is but after two girls, a boy would be an unexpected surprise. Baby Nihill is due in August.

Maia Novak is in the second trimester of her first pregnancy and she's wondering why women ever agree to do this more than once.

Maia is feeling grumpy and tired a lot of the time but fortunately, husband Ethan is on hand for back rubs.

Baby Novak is due in October.

Extras:
As soon as I bumped Maia up to the second trimester, she made this expression! So I just figured she's not someone who loves being pregnant, which seems to fit her anyway.

  1. Maia doesn't look like she enjoys pregnancy at all, I guess this might be her only pregnancy :\

  2. Poor Maia. She looks really miserable. I can't imagine how she'll cope if she becomes pregnant a second time. She and Ethan better get on that birth control.

  3. Apple Valley, well, Maia wouldn't be the first woman to hate pregnancy but still go ahead and have another baby anyway. I guess we'll see!

    Thanks for reading!

    Choco, ha, Maia and Ethan are both too slobby to be allowed BC! They're allowed to take more permanent measures (anyone is, in my hood) but I'm just going to leave them and see if they try again after this baby is born.

    Thanks for reading!

  4. Can't wait for both babies to arrive, especially Maia's, since this might be her only one. She does seem like the type to hate pregnancy though. ;)

  5. I think if I ever got pregnant, my expression would match Maia, not the baby as such, just the experience! Nice update~

  6. coolkat2, I can't wait to meet these babies either. We'll see if this is Maia's one and only. She and Ethan can't use BC, so it'll be totally up to them. ;)

    Thanks for reading!

    Drew, LOL! Pregnancy doesn't seem too fun to me either. If I ever get pregnant, I'm hoping I can take after my mother who "never felt better" all through both her pregnancies. It'd be nice if that was genetic.

    Thanks for reading!

  7. I wouldn't mind seeing anohter girl for Olivia and Steve. Maybe if they had a girl they could have another one, and maybe you could get that all girl family... lol ;) they have such cute kids :)

    Apparently not every woman likes being pregnant, my cousin is one of them, and apparently Maia is one of them as well :)

  8. Tanja, oh, if they have a girl, it would be tempting to let them try for another. But Steve is 40 and Olivia is almost there, so I don't know if it would happen anyway. And Olivia is definitely done. As I always say though, we'll see.

    I think some women are lucky enough to have really easy pregnancies or they're just so incredibly happy/relieved to be pregnant in the first place that they're willing to put up with all the symptoms. Maia fell pregnant pretty easy and is having a pretty tough time, so it's not so enjoyable for her!

    Thanks for reading!

  9. I can't wait to see these bundles of joy. I would love to see another girl from Olivia and Steve but a boy that looks like him wouldn't be bad either ;). And poor Maia. I would probably feel and look the same way! My current boss is pregnant and she's always telling me all the "wonderful" things she has to endure. I'm torn between excited and terrified :P

  10. Danielle, I'm still waiting on Maia and Ethan's baby but Olivia and Steve's is finally here! Yay! I still can't quite figure out who Ramona or Jacinta look like, so seeing this baby will be interesting. Steve and Olivia's kids tend to be good mixes.

    Poor Maia indeed. I think most of the women Maia is in close contact with (which is not many, as she's always been kind of a guy's girl) have had tolerable pregnancies, so she wasn't really prepared!

    Thanks for reading!

  11. Ha! Maia's expression is pretty great--though I must say that I was relieved when the first trimester morning sickness was over, and I didn't develop that particular expression until the third trimester. I often wondered how women ever agreed to do it more than once myself.

    I am excited about these babies!

  12. Rachel, women are so different with their pregnancies, aren't they? Before she had her daughter, one of my friends was so exhausted (from about 14 weeks on) that she would have to take naps at work!

    Maia's baby was just born yesterday in game, so at the moment, no one has seen it but me! It will be interesting to see if Ethan rolls another baby want to try to convince Maia to go through this whole pregnancy thing a second time!

    Thanks for reading!

  13. Can't wait!!! *bouncing* Maybe I won't have to wait for too long as I have a lot to catch up. :D
    I love Maia's expression!

  14. Sandy, LOL, I can still you're still reading as I've been replying to you, so who knows? You may have even met Olivia's baby by the time I finish this comment!

    Thanks for reading!
