Marilee and Mitchell made a cute kid. Anise spends a lot of time smiling. I got her an art table since she has the creative aspiration.
I also did a little expanding on the lot. We needed a little more space, so I added a second floor to one of the buildings, and did some rearranging. I got Anise a bed, too. First floor living room:
Second floor:
And the bedroom/bathroom:
Here’s Anise playing on the neighborhood play place. She’s so cute!
The family has some bonding time together on the couch.
Marilee is such a good mom!
She and Mitchell both love spending time with Anise. Here she is encouraging her to work on her art.
Anise definitely takes after Mitchell.
They were even eating in sync.
Days pass by quickly with a little girl to take care of, but Mitchell and Marilee still take time to talk together. Mitchell is very enthused about something here, I don’t remember what.
Soon, it’s Marilee’s birthday! She’s the only one who can be trusted to cook without setting the house on fire, so she has to make her own birthday cake.
Mitchell sings to Marilee while she’s baking her cake.
They wait until Anise gets home from school to light the birthday candles. No party this time, just the family hanging out together.
Marilee makes a wish while Mitchell and Anise cheer.
The spinning and sparkles seems to disturb Anise. Mitchell’s ignoring the whole situation.
Marilee looks very pleased with herself. Being an adult suits her.
While Anise plays, Mitchell and Marilee celebrate privately with a little woohoo.
Marilee gets a makeover in honor of her birthday, and then she and Anise eat cake together.
The next day, Marilee has a hunch, so she takes a pregnancy test. Baby number two is on the way!
And here come Marilee’s cranky faces again. She really doesn’t like being pregnant. Don’t worry Marilee, this is the last one. Probably.
As soon as Mitchell gets home from work, Marilee announces her big news. Mitchell is shocked, to say the least.
He gets over it quickly and looks excited.
On the other end of the challenge, Marilee’s garden is flourishing. She manages to get a cowberry off one of her spliced plants.
Marilee plants the strange looking berry.
Mitchell knows that the news about her new sibling might upset Anise, so he makes sure to spend some extra time with her. He works on the computer while she draws yet another picture.
Over dinner, Marilee breaks the big news about the baby to Anise. Turns out she’s enthusiastic about the idea.
Marilee spends nearly all her time working on the garden, spending time with Anise, or sleeping. Her hard work is definitely paying off, though.
Talking to the cow plant is just fun, though.
Marilee helps Anise with her homework since Mitchell’s work schedule keeps him away when Anise gets home from school. She has a B, now.
Aw! Anise feels the little nooboo kicking!
I didn’t plan it this way, but the bigger Marilee’s stomach gets, the bigger the cow plant gets. When she hits the third trimester, the cow plant is full grown and hungry! I don’t want it to eat anyone or die yet, so I make sure Marilee feeds it on a regular basis.
They are becoming fast friends, it seems.
Very quickly, Marilee is going into labor. I totally forgot to take pictures until I sent her off to the hospital.
Supposedly Mitchell was going with her, but he walked off the lot in the opposite direction that Marilee did. I don’t know what that was about.
Welcome to the world, little Bluebell. It’s another girl!
Mitchell waits to have his pre parental freak out until they come back from the hospital. What a weirdo.
I move Anise’s bed to the second floor of the living space so there’s room for the crib. I also didn’t want nooboo Bluebell waking her up with her screams in the night. (Yes, she’s named after another plant. A, B, what’s the next baby’s name going to start with?!)
Mitchell gets over his panic and cuddles Bluebell while Marilee falls into bed, exhausted.
He’s very sweet with the baby. And to think I didn’t want Marilee to marry him!
Until next time!
