1~6 Baby Boom

 Week 6

Day 1

I can't tell you how awesome it is to finally have help with chores. Especially when the help looks like Ben. Those aren't the only reasons I married him, but it doesn't hurt either. 

I upgrade the pets' feeder while Father has another fainting spell. I just leave him on the floor. Not to be mean, but he eventually wakes up. 

Ben surprises me by hanging up Christmas lights! I'm pretty happy when I see them. In my favorite color too, purple! 

I'm not happy when I end up hurling in the dirty toilet. Of course it wouldn't be clean when I have to barf. I'm not sure why I got sick, but I clean the toilet after I "toss my cookies".

Ben took this picture of us right after we said our vows. I love it so much! I decide to hang it in the main room, so we can see it several times a day.

We go to the consignment store. Dad consigns his 4 fish he caught last week.

Ben consigns 6 eggs but before I can get to consigning my items, the store closes. So we have to drive all the way across town...

I consign 9 eggs, 19 pieces of produce and 3 fish. I buy 1 Mycena to plant later on in my garden. Bank $12,414.

IT'S PAPA SMURF!...Father got into the jelly beans outside the shop. 

Day 2

Early morning and I read our Wedding Announcement in the paper. I'm not sure what crackpot reporter thinks we had an expensive Wedding, but oh well. I'm still happy to see the announcement. 

"Hope, that thing is reading our books again. Sitting in our chairs." Father complains

"Holy smokes that dish is dirty!" I exclaim. I've gotten use to our "pals" the ghosts. But I'll never get used to having to smell stinky dishes. Ew. 

My new sink broke. That's my Wedding present from the house. 

Thankfully I have a hunky handyman as a husband!

While Ben fixes the sink, I tend the planters. The weird voice tells me my gardening level is now at 7. 

I figure it's time for the bathroom to get a bit of an upgrade. I buy a joint shower/bathtub. A new sink and a new toilet. Bank is at $10,311.

All that shopping makes me feel like I'm starving. Time for leftover Wedding Cake! It's nice sitting down to eat with my husband. 

The new washer breaks. Goody. But it's held up better than the old one. I fix it and the weirdo voice tells me my handiness level has reached 5 and tells me I'm lucky I haven't been electrocuted. I guess that's supposed to be encouraging or it's calling me an idiot??

I get a message that some Produce has sold. bank - $10,827.

I cook some Mac N Cheese. I'm trying to stay ahead of running out of meals. The weird voice booms at me that I have reached Level 4 of cooking. 

Oh yeah, I think I'm preggers. 

Day 3

Yes, I'm certainly pregnant! I'm really happy that Ben and I will soon be parents. 

But that doesn't mean we can neglect our chores. I handle the inside chores, while Ben handles everything outside. 

And since we are going to need a nursery, I decide to do some more remodeling.

I know the nursery isn't as full as some people's, but it's more than I could have pictured for any kid of mine a few weeks ago. I think it's cute.

The main room gets a makeover. Some things are new, some Ben just moved around for me. I think it looks more homey now. 

We move Father down to the basement. I feel slightly bad about this, but it's the only place we can move him. I do buy him another rocking chair, so he doesn't have to go out on the porch (and into the cold) to rock. 

Ben pays the bills - $226 and then we get a message that Produce has sold. So all the new stuff, also minus the bills but plus the produce sell, confused yet?, The bank sits at $6,868 now. 

I make some hot dogs with my new microwave, which I am so freaking happy to have. I have a feeling I might not have time to cook much after I give birth. 

Doesn't every pregnant woman Garden? 

Ben talks me into some "alone time". Wink wink, nudge nudge.

After our fun, I put on a different top and go into the nursery. That's when it hits me. It feels like Godzilla is trying to claw forth from my womb and destroy the world and other parts of me.

After hours of screaming and oddly no one hearing me. Jerks. I give birth to a little girl. I name her Winter. (Traits Neurotic & Virtuoso)

I place Winter in her crib, along with her magical blanket that she somehow made in my womb. When she gets older, I shall ask her how she did it. 

I'm about ready to go yell for Ben when I feel the Godzilla pain again!

"Oh crap, we're gonna need another crib." I mutter to myself, wide eyed.

I gave birth to another girl. Ben and I have twins! I name the second baby Autumn. (Traits - Loves The Outdoors & Easily Impressed)

I buy another crib and in my haze I forget how much it costs. I'm also stunned that Autumn too also has the magical blanket. What is going on inside me? Are their elves crafting these blankets?

I shrug it off, yell for Ben to watch the twins and go to bed. I'm exhausted and think I just saw Santa Clause outside the nursery window. 

Day 4

I wake up starving. I sit down to eat my leftovers and think about the fact that I'm a Mom. To twins. Ben and I were not prepared for twins, but I love my little girls already.

While I eat, Ben is on twin duty. I'm glad he's a hands on Daddy.

As for me, I do some laundry and then go pass out in bed for a few more hours. I think I've earned the rest. 

When I wake up, Ben tells me that his Grandfather (who I have never met) has sent the twins both dolls. Kind of weird looking, but we're grateful for the toys. 

Feeling kind of refreshed, I think. Ben and I tackle our chores. 

I just bought that toilet a few days ago...grr. On the other hand, look at that booty!

The exciting lives of parents to newborn twins. Holla!

Father wantsto meet the twins, which I think is cute. So buy a chair for the nursery so he can sit in it and hold the babies. Chair $395. Bank $5,847. Ben also puts up a painting that was sent to us from the Fox's as a Wedding gift. It goes nicely in the nursery. 

The food seems to be going fast with 3 people eating it now. I make Veggie Rolls for the first time for dinner. 

The three of us even end up sitting down to eat together. I'm so glad I finally have a family that feels like a family. 

Ben does the dishes for me while I brush Ralston. She's part of the family too and I want her to feel welcome here. 

Day 5

I wake up in the middle of the night to go feed the twins and see something odd out the window. 

Clearly, I need more sleep. I'm seeing crap again!

Though when I get up later on, Father is acting a bit weird..even for him. But maybe I'm imaging things.

I refill the pet food for $100, since it was starting to get low. Bank - $5,786.

Ben and I do our chores, as usual. I love the outdoors, but I'm glad Ben has been handling the outdoor chores. I'm more of a warm weather type of gal. 

Not sure how a puddle gets in the house, but Ral has fun playing in it. I was going to mop it up, but didn't want to steal her joy. 

I send Ben to consign stuff and..he goes in his boxers. Maybe I'm not the only one who needs to get more sleep?

Ben consigns 10 eggs there.

He finally finds his clothes and goes to teach a logic class at the school. He got a call to do it. They pay him $600 for it, so I'm not complaining! Bank $6,386.

I tend to the twins, while my hair magically disappears and reappears. Elves again??

Deanie gets fleas...in the Winter. I didn't even know that could happen outside. I thought they died in the Winter, but shows what I know. I give him a flea bath. 

I get a notice after I finish Deanie's flea bath that some produce has sold. bank - $6,579.

Ben and I have dinner together and then we have some dessert. If you know what I mean. 

While we're "busy" Father keeps the pets company while watching TV. I swear there's something different about him...

Day 6

We wake up. Do our chores. I pay the bills - $259. Bank $6,320. 

I get out of the house and off the property for the first time since I had the twins. I go consign stuff at the elixir store. 5 Eggs and 16 pieces of Produce. The cashier tells me that some of Ben's eggs sold. Bank - $6,381.

Oh yeah...there's something different about Father alright. He looks like he swallowed a beach ball, after nomming on some twinkies! Which makes me jealous, because I want twinkies too! But seriously..what is going on with my Father? He couldn't have gained that much weight that fast! 

I'm thinking about taking him to the Doctor. 

Deanie brings me a Squirrel, which I sell for $26 and a Spotted Turtle, which I sell for $306. bank - $6,713.

Day 7

I see Father has fainted as I walk downstairs. Maybe I should make that Doctor's appointment..

But first I need to make some waffles because we are totally out of meals. 

Father and Ben eat, while I go take care of the twins and my inside chores. 

Ben invites me outside and we make snow angels. Maybe it's childish, but it's nice to have some simple fun! 

We walk back inside to see......my Father has his cane sticking out his butt?! OWWW!!

And the worst case of bad gas I have ever seen! I pull out my tracfone to call 911!

and then....

"Hope...I'm going to go away to the funny farm. I love you and the girls. Bye." Ben tells me, stunned.

I'm stunned too, honey bun. 

My Father...gave birth? To..an alien?!!!! WUT?!

"Her name is Hilda." Father declares as I rub my eyes and Ben checks out milk for liquor.

(Hilda's traits are - Friendly and Good)

I..have a little sister? And another baby to raise, because Father sure can't do it. I guess I wasn't seeing things...does this mean Santa is real?

We buy another crib - $330. Bank - $6,383. Ben moves the toy box out into the hall so they'll be room in the nursery. Now it's beyond crowded with 3 cribs. 

I always kind of wanted a brother or sister, but this...I don't know how to process this. But I start taking care of Hilda. She is kind of cute..

I just wonder how Ben and I are going to swing 3 babies. Thankfully the twins will be toddlers tomorrow, but this is still going to be a lot to handle plus the farm. Darn aliens. Why can't they probe themselves?!

I get a message that some produce has sold. Bank $6,902. And I also get a call to come to a party the Curleys are having. Old man Curleys tone seems to mean I NEED to come. 

So I leave my poor husband at home with 3 babies and an old man. He must really love me.

I give old lady Curley an update on the farm and say we adopted a baby from Antarctica. Somehow she buys it. I gotta explain Hilda someway and I think saying "My Dad got knocked up by an alien and gave birth through his belly button while his cane was shoved out of his butt." would not fly well.

Free food is the best food. I find some discarded bread and jam on the table with no one around. Finders keepers.
