Marilee greets you today with a cranky face. Pregnancy is not sitting well with her, clearly.
Morning sickness has hit, and she’s finding her camping bed rather uncomfortable. This makes for an unhappy Marilee. This face is so sad!
She hasn’t gotten a chance to tell Mitchell about the pregnancy yet, but I try to get him to help out around the house anyway.
He’s lazy, so I had to tell him to pick the dishes up literally five times before he would wash them. He better get over this quick. With Marilee growing a new person, he’s going to be helping out whether he wants to or not.
Marilee happily tells Mitchell the big news.
He’s thrilled and leans in to feel her baby bump.
Aw. The look on Mitchell’s face is so sweet. He’s just as excited as Marilee is!
Mitchell decides his baby might need to eat some food that wasn’t made on the girll, so he whips up some BLTS. They have some veggies, at least.
Marilee appreciates the effort and dives right in to her sandwhich.
Marilee knows she’s got to stay healthy for the nooboo coming. She goes for a jog around the neighborhood.
Walking through a car isn’t good for anybody, though. I can’t leave these two alone for a minute.
Up until now, Marilee has been taking care of all the household repairs. She’s tired and has to pee constantly in addition to working on her garden now, so Mitchell lends a hand by fixing the computer. I hope he doesn’t electrocute himself.
After his success, the couple decides to throw a party for the neighbors at their home. Marilee still needs to keep in touch with the community and they’ll have less free time once the baby comes.
Everyone seems to have a good time, especially Marilee. Her dance moves are something special.
Mitchell takes the opportunity to try out some of his new material on the guests.
I don’t know if they liked it or not, but he cracked himself up.
Marilee makes sure she gets to spend some time with Bella during the party. She invites Bella to come back to the house while Mitchell is at work the next day. Since she is due to go into labor, she figures she might want some company.
Bella’s had two nooboos of her own, so she happily agrees to keep Marilee company.
The next morning is off to a rough start. The toilet and the shower both break first thing.
I set Mitchell to work fixing them, but there’s a bathroom emergency taking place outside.
Sorry, Marilee. Peeing yourself isn’t exactly fun. Not to mention the dirty dishes everywhere from the party last night.
I felt pretty bad for that. I’m a bad sim mommy 😦 While she was cleaning up, I decided to buy Marilee and Mitchell a new bed to make up for it. I picked it out more for Marilee than Mitchell. I figured a sim who loves the outdoor would appreciate the aesthetics here. I also got a bassinet.
Mitchell has to head to work, but Bella shows up to keep Marilee company.
Uh oh. That looked like a contraction.
Marilee thinks so too. Bella does her best to distract her until it’s go time. She encourages Marilee to take deep breaths.
Soon it’s time to head to the bassinet.
One more deep breath and…
Welcome to the world, Anise Keyes. I know all sim babies look alike, but she’s still cute.
Marilee is completely exhausted and crashes into bed.
When Mitchell arrives home from work, he finds Marilee fast asleep. He takes a moment to meet his daughter.
They are both very attentive parents. I didn’t take many pictures of the baby because, let’s be real here, it’s pretty boring. I thought this one of Marilee and Anise was sweet though.
Marilee and Mitchell know it’s important to take time for their relationship with a new baby around, even if it’s just to flirt over leftovers.
The next couple of days are full of baby care. Not much else gets done. I realized that it was Mitchell’s birthday, though. I hate when my sims get sad because they don’t have a birthday cake. I upgrade the kitchen just so Marilee can make him a cake.
It’s not much, but it’s functional. This is the first time Marilee’s used the oven, so let’s see how this goes.
Success! No fire AND a cake!
Mitchell thinks very hard about what he wants to wish for.
Marilee sings in the background. The expression these two make are just too funny sometimes.
With a spin and a sparkle, Mitchell becomes an adult. I’m not sure why he looks so surprised.
I give him a makeover to go with his more mature age. I think he looks very handsome.
Before it seems possible, it’s time for little Anise to grow up. I send Marilee over to her bassinet, but then…
This is what I get for letting you cook, Mitchell.
I manage to calm everyone down and get Marilee to come back on the lot. She ran off when the fire started. It’s back to the bassinet for Anise’s birthday!
More sparkles and then there she is.
Anise (named after the plant, since her mother is a gardener..) rolled neat and Artistic Prodigy. This is her after her makeover. She has apparently inherited her father’s habit of not opening her eyes for pictures.
I think she looks more like Mitchell than Marilee right now, but time will tell.
Mitchell takes some time to help Anise with her homework before she has to go to school tomorrow.
Anise has a smile on her face, even while doing her homework. I wonder if she knows that could potentially be the future of the Keyes Legacy.
That’s all for this chapter! See you all next time.
