You say it's your birthday, October 2044

Round 36: October 2044 (Spring)

It’s Kirstin Sitko’s 60th birthday and husband David is taking her out to The Claudette to celebrate.

Unfortunately, while they do get some champagne, their meals never arrive.

Birthday or not, Kirstin is insistent on giving the owner, Sophie Gentry a piece of her mind. 

Sophie is also David’s niece and he’s feeling a little protective of her, so he goes to smooth things over. She’s very embarrassed and apologetic. Kirstin and David’s waiter is new and there have been some issues with him.

Happily, Kirstin gets over the whole thing pretty quickly!

**********

Lucky it wasn’t Kirstin’s daughter Lila at The Claudette that night. She’s just hit 24 weeks and feels like she’s starving constantly. 

Her hunger pangs have even woken her up in the middle of the night sometimes. 

She’s put her husband Connor to work, to make sure she has something to eat a little healthier than potato chips in the future!

She’d do it herself but…well, she doesn’t feel like doing much of anything these days!

Both Connor and Lila are very much looking forward to meeting Baby Novak, who is due in February.

Lucy has been having contractions all day and they’re finally strong enough and frequent enough to come into the hospital, with husband Edward in tow.

Lucy is quite uncomfortable and in more pain than she’s ever felt in her life but Dr Moretti assures her that she’s doing very well.

And the babies are definitely ready now!

Lucy and Edward are now proud parents to a son and a daughter! 

Colin Garrett shares the brown eyes of both his parents and has thick brown hair like his mother.

Gwendolen Charlotte, to be known as Gwen, also has brown eyes but has her daddy’s black hair.

Notes:

• I don't know what was going on with the Claudette! The waiter actually dumped the first plate of food on David's head (an interaction which I almost never fail to miss). Then he went back to get more food, presented it to them...and then there was nothing on the table. So I don't know. I'm pretty sure I've had sims dine successfully here before, so hopefully it was just a one-off.
• Last month, we had the sim world's healthiest pregnant woman with Hope. This month, we have Lila, who is constantly hungry and tired. Thank goodness this is the last trimester!
• I should have put money on Edward and Lucy having a boy or a girl - my most common twin types by far! But I wasn't super keen on my second choice boy or girl names, so I'm quite content they had a boy and a girl. :)
