A Struggle & A Suprise?

Now Belle is a child, Mimi & Stile’s have had more free time to do other things. I’d like to say they’ve enjoyeds themselves but it’s mainly it’s just work work work.

Stiles has also got into the annoying habit of waking up everyday at 10am whether he’s fully rested or not.

Photobucket

What the hell are you doing?

I’m not too sure

Are you ill?

I don’t think so.

Are you going into labour?

I hope not!

Well get back in bed you idiot

Oh right sure. I am abit tired actually

Honestly men?

 But I did promise Mimi she could have a baby with this fool once Belle was older so I decided to let them start trying.

Easier said than done i’m not sure if age is a factor with pregnancy in S3 pregnancies but it seemed alot easier the first time around…

Photobucket

they tried & tried & tried

Photobucket

It was actually dark before I let them give up

& we still had no lullaby :(

This is very unsatisfactory. I am a STUD

I WANT A BABY NOW!

We’ll try tommorow Mimi I promise.

Meanwhile through all of the pro-creating that had been going on Belle was happy enough entertaining herself.

Photobucket

She’s quite the artist don’t you think?

She is also uncontrollably neurotic. Especially at night i’m tempted to get rid of the sink because she’s constantly worried about leaving the tap on.

I also think she’s bordering on the OCD side of things as she’s constantly wanting to tidy up and wash her hands. Which then leads to more worrying about the damn sink.

Photobucket

Belle honey your hands are clean

But the germs!

There are no germs this is the 3rd time you’ve washed them

Germs are everywhere! you can never be too carefull.

She never listens though, just like her mum

I spotted Mimi eating ice-cream, hmmm she never normally wants ice-cream

Photobucket

Um Mimi?

Go away too depressed

Uh why?

Too old to get pregnant. not fair

Why are you eating ice-cream?

Don’t know had a craving for it

hmm… 

Anyway considering the earlier problems in conceiving we’d had I was extremly suprised to find Mimi sprinting to the bathroom..

Photobucket

Urgh too much ice-cream

I don’t think thats the ice-cream Mimi

Belle’s Birthday

Today is the big day Belle is turning into a child.

Mimi & Stiles both wanted to throw Belle a birthday party. I decided to let them this time as Belle was older & it seemed more appropriate.

Photobucket

Stiles rang around to invite everyone & after a few hours the party was in full swing!

Photobucket

It’s a shame they don’t know any other children as Belle’s party is full of adults.

Photobucket

Cycl0n3 & random townie enjoyed a spot of wild dancing.

Photobucket

While Zelda & Gus had what was either an argument or a very intense mating ritual.

Gunther seemed a little distressed by his recent split with his wife so I sent Stiles over to comfort him.

Photobucket

(I shouldn’t have bothered)

So yea, like get over it man. It’s a party.

*sniff sniff sob but I love her!*

Move on dude, Get a drink from the bar.

Such a charmer aren’t you Stiles.

Next up it was candle time Mimi did the honours once again & brought Belle to the cake (most likely just to get in some more pictures)

Photobucket

Yay when you grow up I get a new baby!

Mimi that’s not nice & it’s not how it works!

What? It’s not like I said I’m gettin rid of her & I know that not all sparklies bring babies now.

Good

WOOP WOOP YEAH!!!

Photobucket

Does he have to do that right behind me?

I was actually pretty dissapointed with the lack of enthusiasm from the other uest only Stiles ventured over to watch.

 Cyl0n3 seemed to have forgotten the reason he’s there in the first place.

Photobucket

Aww look at her clapping! Clever girl.

Photobucket

Now bring on the sparklies!

 (Mimi seems to have developed a unhealthy obsession with the sparklies)

 

Photobucket

Oh my god she’s deformed!

Photobucket

Call a Doctor!

Shut up Stiles it’s supposed to happen.

It looks extremely unpleasent

Photobucket

Rather interesting looking isn’t she?

No she isn’t she’s lovely.

Hideous clothes though

Easily fixed Mimi

Belle grew up well & so grew up with the trait artistic. She Is now a Good natured, neurotic artist. Should be interesting.

Photobucket

Ahhh much better!

Ohh she’s so beautiful! *sob*

So Belle how does it feel to be a big girl now?

OMG it’s awfull what if the bus breaks down on the way to school? Or the stove catches fire? Or I can’t do my homework & fail school and grow up badly? Did I switch the sink off?

Belle you’ve only just grown up you haven’t even used the sink yet!

But somebody else could have & the bathroom could be flooding right now!

I should never have gave her that neurotic trait.

Goals & Plots

After a long day of toddler skilling there was just time for quick cuddle with bear (ahhh)

Photobucket

& it was off to bed for Belle.

Photobucket

Mimi & Stiles are having some alone time & watching TV…

Photobucket
You know? I’m still not sure about him

Who? Stiles?

Yea he seems shifty

He probably is with you staring at him like that
Photobucket

She’s starting to scare me. What’s she thinking?

I was just wondering the same thing love

Photobucket
Got it! Mwahahaha

Uh? Got what?

Oh nothing darling just had an interesting idea that’s all. tehe

Mimi what are you plotting?

Nothing nothing now shh both of you I’m watching TV

It’s never nothing when it comes to Mimi. Im sure we’l find out soon enough…

The next morning it’s off to work for Mimi while Stiles looks after Belle.

Not that she needs much looking after anymore she’s such an easy child to care for.

 Photobucket

look at her skilling up like a good little girl, she is also walking now. look at her go!

Photobucket

Also In Belles news, she has mastered the blocks, the xylophone, walking, talking & potty training, & she hasn’t been half as much trouble as her mummy (yet)

Once Mimi get’s back it’s family skill time…

Photobucket

Good little worker bee’s!

 & halle-frickin-lujah Stiles finally got another guitar point, one more & he’s cracked it :D

 I sent him off to do a concert he went on the big black bus. (the first time a sim got on there I thought they’d been sent off to military school) It is rather rock & roll though, with the leopard print seats & what not.

Photobucket

Stile’s disagrees. Nothing new there

This is not acceptable! I’m playing a concert! Wheres my limo? Get on the phone to my manager!

Always moaning that man, it’s a good job I don’t listen.

Photobucket

Turn’s out he heard me a stormed off in a huff

Oh well..

We also decided to give Mimi another little makeover to make her look a little more grown up, and also to celebrate her promotion to level 4 of the science career :D

Photobucket

(She was tired so I let her sit down for it, She’s abit grumpy because she’s still rolling wants for a new baby & im making her wait)

Remember all the drama when you found out you were pregnant with Belle?

But it will be different this time I promise

Do you think you can cope with a new baby and a toddler?

Um..?

Exactly! At least wait till Belles at school

It’s Belles birthday tommorow!

Ohh heck! Why did I say that?

A Mid-Life Crisis

Good afternoon Mimi fans. Today is a very good day in the Minasota household for me anyway :)

Photobucket

Here Stiles finally managing to gain that last 1000 points so I could afford to give him a Mid-life crisis sim’s style!

Because lets face it a self-confessed Loner & neat freak does not scream ROCK LEGEND! to anyone so for anyone who can’t remember his stats before here they are new & improved.

Traits

1 – Loner Artistic

2 – Frugal

3 – Light Sleeper Lucky

4 – Neat Virtuoso

5 – Loves The Outdoors Ambitious

I kept the Frugal trait as I’m quite fond of seeing what coupons I get each day (when I remember)

Photobucket

As you can see Stile was abit unnerved by the sudden change

Oh God somethings happened to me?

What?

I feel weird

Weird how?

Weird..not myself a different person. Maybe I should go to he hospital?

Are you ill?

I don’t know but..

Do you feel an overwhelming urge to clean anything?

Uh? No

Do you feel the need to run & hide because your not the only one in the room?

No

Hallelujah! You’ll be fine.

Now go play guitar my little music maestro!

Photobucket

Look at him go! And would you beleive it? he got a promotion the very next day!

Anyway enough of him he’s just background noise.

Now I promise I haven’t given anymore mid-life crisis out in the Minasota house but Mimi seems to be having one all on her own.

She’s constantly rolling up wants to snuggle, play, teach to walk/talk/potty train Belle.

Photobucket

 I got rather unnerved when she rolled up a want of a having a baby.

I almost fell off my chair when she woke up one morning & not only a baby! but a baby with Stiles! I think she’s growing soft in her old age.

Photobucket

Um..Mimi

Yes?

What’s all this nonsense about a new baby?

It’s not nonsense I just thought Belle’s pretty cute isn’t she? So why not see if I can get one even cuter?

Thats no reason to have a baby!

Of course it is!

Mimi we are not a prettacy

Well of course we aren’t im way too pretty to be a prettacy founder.

I gave up after that sometimes theres just no talking to that girl. Although it did amuse me when through the mother of all tantrums after she broke the toilet again.

Photobucket

(She looks pretty scary to tell you the truth.)

Right now onto little Belle who is being a good girl for mummy & daddy.
Here we see her pretending to be a tiger…

Photobucket

GRRRRR

(Ahhh Bless)

here we see her enjoying her favourite thing to do…EATING

Photobucket

Nomnomnomnom

She may look cute but her eyes say ‘Touch my food & I will bite your hand!’

That’s it Belle munch that food!

& here she is practicing walking with daddy…

Photobucket

Come on princess! Walk for daddy!

(does it creep anyone else out when he says daddy?)

& And here she is learning the basics of being a mini Mimi….

Photobucket

Right Belle I will teach you the basics in Goldigging the first being, never beg! that’s what you want the guy to do.

Photobucket

& only choose a man who earns lots of money!

Photobucket

& get’s lots of raises & promotions

Photobucket

& a shiny sports car!

Photobucket
And if he doesnt have any of that dump him!

Hmmm…

What like you did Mimi?

But he said he was rich!!

Ok, ok, I was just wondering sorry.

From Pod To Tod

Welcome back readers well the last post was all about Mimi & her birthday but now it’s Belle’s turn to take the spotlight as our resident pod person is turning into a toddler today :)

Mimi had wanted a birthday party but I felt it was abit much for a baby.

Spoilsport

Ignore her, she’s just cranky because she thinks she looks old.

Photobucket

I do! I do! Thankgod I have all my own teeth!

For now..

WHAT?!

She manged to cheer herself up though…

Photobucket

Come on Mimi this is not your post this is Belle’s post not yours

But this is my blog!

Honestly woman you are so selfish. Now go get Belle & bring her to the cake.

If your good i’ll put you in the shot aswell.

Oh alright then

So sometime later we managed to get Belle to the cake..

Photobucket

Blow the candles out for mummy!

Photobucket

Oh alright I’l do it myself

Watch her head!

Him again?

Photobucket

Im so excited!

Now what?

Um..Put her on the floor

That seems a little unhygienic but whatever it’s your call

Photobucket

The sparklies!

Photobucket
(I apologise for the crappy camera angle she spun round & my laptop was too slow to move in time)

She looks like a boy!

We’ll soon change that…

Photobucket

Aww isn’t she a cutie! Take’s after her Mummy!

My babies growing up!

How’d she get blue eyes?

Babies & Birthdays

It’s almost Mimi’s birthday and in all the baby drama I almost forgot so I ask Mimi what she wants to do for it.

Wow Mimi you’ll be a fully fledged adult tommorow!

Photobucket

Don’t remind me!

I thought you liked birthdays?

Photobucket

But I’m getting so old now

Your only going going to be an adult

I don’t want to be an adult! I don’t want to have a birthday :(

Oh so il cancel your birthday party then?

No! I mean we’ve already invited everyone, it wouldn’t be good to cancel at the last minute what would they think?

You changed you mind quick?

Of course I didn’t. anyway must dash got to feed Belle it’s almost bedtime

Hmmmm

Photobucket

After Belle’s been fed it’s off to bed for both mum & baby…

Photobucket

Awww bless.

The next morning Mimi is out tending to the garden & Stile’s is on baby duty.

Photobucket

It’s about time!

Photobucket

Does baby love Daddy?

in audible gurgles

which i’ve taken to mean ‘Yes aslong as you buy me lot’s of nice presents & toy’s’ After all she is her mother’s daughter.

Photobucket

Whos Daddies little sweetheart?

It’s actually quite sweet in a rather creepy way.

Anyway I realise I’ve left Mimi alone for a little too long & when I find her im a little disturbed by what I see…

Photobucket

Maybe the pressure of motherhood is getting to her?

Anyway I decided to leave her to it & got a little setting up done for the party & soon the guests were arriving.

(I’l skip the boring meet & greet part & get down to the good stuff)

Photobucket

It may look like she’s wondering what to wish for but I know exactly what shes thinking the devious little monkey..

Photobucket

Mwahaha

(honestly)

Photobucket

Oh god! The sparklies! They’re back!

Photobucket

Hmm, I feel different but I don’t see a baby?

Photobucket

Ok the sparklies have gone..I still don’t see a baby?

Um, Mimi sorry to intrude on your birthday, but our resident pod person is about to explode

Photobucket

Hmm I still don’t get? it the sparklies were there but then no baby?

Mimi it was your birthday. Babies aren’t birthday presents Mimi. Now sort out your daughter.

After Belle has been pacified Mimi & Stiles spend some alone time together & have something to eat…

Photobucket

So.. Um have a good party? Nice cake.

Yes did you enjoy it?

Uh? I wasn’t there I was at work. Didn’t you realise?

Oh yea of course I just meant in spirit you know..

But?

Just shut up & eat your cake!

Labour Is Painful

Even though Mimi is very near the end of her term she still insists on doing the gardening, preferably alone.

Photobucket

Im pregnant im not dieing!

(She’s also a little cranky due to hormones)

She also seems to have become rather fond of her pregnancy bump.

 I caught her smiling to herself and rubbing her bump after she got out of the shower…

Photobucket

Mimi decides she’s had enough for the minute and decides to relax in front of the tv.

Suddenly she’s up and looks confused/possesed…

Photobucket

Mimi?

Photobucket

Oh Dear God what’s happening?

Breathe Mimi!

Photobucket

Im trying!

Meanwhile outside strumming away Stiles is oblivious to his wifes screams…

Photobucket

Aarrrggghhh!

Photobucket

Where the hell did he come from?

I sent him in to look after you

(on second thoughts he would have been better left outside)

Im going to kill him!

Photobucket

Aaarrgghh is she dieing? what’s happening? Is it over? I cant look! OMG! OMG!

Photobucket

Jesus man pull yourself together!

YOU! You did this to me! You will pay!

Photobucket

Oh hell no! He has not just put the TV on has he?!

Photobucket

Oooh look sparklies!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

It’s a girl!

(Pheww)

Meet Belle Minasota!

Photobucket

Belle – French origin meaning beautiful
Due to the smooth course of Mimi’s pregnancy we were allowed to pick one trait for Belle.

She was born with the Good trait locked in I decided Neurotic would be a good one, what with her mother being a money obsessed golddigger and her father on obsessive neat freak.
Belle has her father’s eyes & also shares his favourite colour white & his favourite music – Electronica
She likes Goopy Carborona

Photobucket

Hmm quite a cute little pod person isn’t she

Awww :)

Baby Blues

Well Mimi was defiantly right about the OMG buisiness as she is most definatly pregnant.

We found out outside the supermarket…

 Photobucket

Hmm there’s something different aout you Mimi

Really? I feel fine

Have you got a new dress?

What? no, this old thing I always… Holy Crap wheres this come from? Omg I’m getting fat aswell!

Photobucket

Mimi I think your pregnant

Noooooooo!

After a minor melt down at the supermarket Mimi goes home to tell Stiles the ‘good’ news.

He take it pretty well and promptly start rolling up wants for havin a boy & wanting to talk to Mimis tummy…

Photobucket

Ahhhh it’s actually quite sweet

Mimi on the other hand is not so enthused

I don’t want a baby :(

But it’ll be so cute Mimi.

But it’ll cry & poop all the time!

Not very often the TS3 babies are pretty  easy to care for

Well I only want it if it’s a girl!

I’ve heard if you eat watermelons during pregnancy you’ll have a girl so it’s off to the supermarket again

Why can’t I have a car? Im too pregnant to ride a bike!

Because we can’t afford one. You should have taken a taxi they’re free.

Photobucket

After buying her watermelons and munching a few. I decided it’s about time we fulfilled Mimi’s oppertunity which has been lingering around for the past few weeks, so it’s off to meet Jocasta and charm her socks off…

Photobucket

As much as Mimi keeps moaning about this pregnancy buisiness, I think she quite likes the idea.

I often catch her rubbing her tummy and thinking about the baby when she thinks im not looking…

Photobucket

Pretty sweet isn’t it. Although she denies it if I ask her.

Anyway after a quick greeting Mimi’s oppertunity is fulfilled.

But just as we’re about to go home we spot a lovely harvestable garden round the back…

Photobucket

Oooh they have potatos and onions!

After ‘borrowing’ a few of their vegetables it’s off home to bed for Mimi…

Photobucket

This pregnancy lark is tiring! And my back hurts.

It will when your waddling around like a duck! You look like your going to topple over.

It also seems we’ve fed Stiles some rather questionable food, as a few minutes after going to sleep he’s off to the bathroom…

Photobucket

(He’s flying!)

And…

Photobucket

Im dieing!

No your not you just ate some bad waffles

No seriously im dieing I need a doctor :(

Suck it up man! Your wife went through this all the time in the first stage of pregnancy now go back to bed.

Oh dear thas such a shame poor thing

Hmmm…
