The Birth

It’s a typical Morning in the Minasota house, Belle is at school, Stiles is off being useless somewhere as there is really nothing usefull for him to do now he’s mastered the guitar & Mimi is playing with the dolls house.

Or at least she was….

 
OMG What’s happening!

Oh wow Mimi your in labour. Yay!

Not Yay! Ow ow ow pain!

Arggghhh!

Him again? He is NOT helping!

Arghhhhhh!

If he doesn’t shut up i’l give him something to scream about!

Is she going to be ok?! Should I call the doctor? OH DEAR! OH DEAR!

Seriously get him away from me now or I may kill him!

I sent Stiles off to do something equally as useless elsewhere.

You ok?

DO I LOOK OK? I think im dieing!

Look Mimi sparklies! (they usually cheer her up)

Yay pretty sparklies!

Right so will these sparklies give me a baby?

Yes Mimi your in labour it usually results in a baby at the end.

Wheeeee!

Ooo this is fun!

It’s a girl! I had a girl! YAY!

(Thank you sim gods!) Poor Stiles he’ll never get that boy now I’ve decided 2 kids is enough.

Thats what she thinks

Whats that Mimi?

Oh nothing look how pretty she is!

She looks exactly like Belle when she was born.

So she’s pretty right?

Of course she is

Meet Sadie Minasotta

Sadie – Hebrew meaning Princess

For some unfathomable reason we wern’t allowed to pick any taits for Sadie. She was born also with the Good trait like her sister & the Virtuoso trait Like her daddy. She also seems to have inherited her mothers skintone whereas Belle is pale like Stiles.

Her favourite colour is Lime green, She enjoys classical music & her favourite food is Stu surprise.

 

It’s About Time

Hello Mimi lovers & welcome back thank you for your patience & yes I had an absolutely awesome time at my festival thankyou. Not that you care your all just here for Mimi lol

Well we finally had confirmation on the pregnancy.

Ooo I feel funny

I don’t like these clothes, but YAY a baby!

Mimi immediatly rolled another want of a girl, Stiles wanted a boy. But I decide to let the sim gods of fate decide this time.

But I want a girl!

You can’t always have what you want Mimi

Why not?

It doesn’t work like that

Humph

Then it was off to finish/start the garden again as she’s not very useful when pregnant.

Yes I am growing a baby here!

Well other than that then.

Belle was off  in the kitchen worrying about peeping toms and what not.

You know, I really don’t like these windows.

Why not honey?

Well anyone can see inside they could spy on me while im changing or what if theirs an explosion they could shatter and we’ll all die!

Belle you worry way too much for a 7 year old.

I think I’l ask mummy about getting rid of a few.

Well you can try sweetie but they were her idea.

Mummy?

Yes Belle?

You know the windows?

Oh yes of course marvelous idea wern’t they?

Oh..um.. I don’t know

How can you not know? Look how light and airy it is in here it’s brilliant!

But what about peepimg toms?

Nonsense darling now go play mummies busy.

Abit of a strange one isn’t she?

Mimi thats your daughter your talking about.

Hmm I think this window thing may really be affecting Belle as all her pictures look like this

Dark and Mysterious anyone?

I decided spot of family bonding was in order so I sent them off to watch a film.

Evidently it was about robots…

Ooo I’m not sure about this

OMG

Wimps

Scared to look there Stiles?

& what was that you were saying earlier Mimi?

Whats that for!

She’l be ok won’t she?

Boring

Huh?

What?

I don’t get it?
 LMAO at their facial expressions especially Stiles!

The next morning Mimi was up bright & early & up to her usual tricks….

More broken sinks Mimi?

Blasted thing GRRRR Im pregnant I shouldn’t have to this!

You break it you fix it that the rule in this house missy.

*incoherent angry mumbling*

Anyway it was off to school for Belle so i decided to send Mimi & Stiles for some bonding time around the fire.

As I’ve decided to remodel the minasota house in order for the new baby to arrive, so I totally demolished the old house & moved it right to the back of the garden…

Much better dont we think?

Also on a very exciting note I’ve had Stiles playing guitar morning noon and night in order master the guiatar & I’m proud to say he finally done it! WOOOOO!

Well done my little guitar hero!

Can I go to sleep now?

Yes yes sleep away my little friend

 

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.

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…

they tried & tried & tried

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.

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.

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

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..

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.

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

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

Cycl0n3 & random townie enjoyed a spot of wild dancing.

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.

(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)

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!!!

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.

Aww look at her clapping! Clever girl.

Now bring on the sparklies!

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

 

Oh my god she’s deformed!

Call a Doctor!

Shut up Stiles it’s supposed to happen.

It looks extremely unpleasent

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.

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)

& it was off to bed for Belle.

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

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

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

I was just wondering the same thing love

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.

 

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

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…

Good little worker bee’s!

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

 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.

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.

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

(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

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)

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!

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.

 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.

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.

(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…

GRRRRR

(Ahhh Bless)

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

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…

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….

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

& only choose a man who earns lots of money!

& get’s lots of raises & promotions

& a shiny sports car!

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.

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

For now..

WHAT?!

She manged to cheer herself up though…

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..

Blow the candles out for mummy!

Oh alright I’l do it myself

Watch her head!

Him again?

Im so excited!

Now what?

Um..Put her on the floor

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

The sparklies!

(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…

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!

Don’t remind me!

I thought you liked birthdays?

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

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

Awww bless.

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

It’s about time!

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.

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…

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)

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

Mwahaha

(honestly)

Oh god! The sparklies! They’re back!

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

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

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…

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!
