Rebuilding Worlds Vol. 2

Update 2: baby time!

At first I thought Luana seemed to enjoy her pregnancy, she was always smiling, even after work.

Manu also seemed to look forward to parenthood. He was dumpster diving in the areas nearby with a big goofy grin on his face.

After that he went to play some games. And can I just say he makes the best expressions :lol:

But after a day or two, Luana got sick every. single. morning.

She gave me a very displeased look, lol.

Manu spent most of his free time working on recycling and fabricating.

Luana usually followed him into their makerspace garage to do her own little side projects. She's been wanting to make fizz out of their homegrown fruits!

I'm glad to say Luana wasn't sick during the day, and returned to her happy smiling self, especially when she saw Manu around.

Manu had a little mishap with his fabricator. He was really sad!

Luckily, our first batch of Fizz was just done!

Look how cute! This is a strawberry batch.

So how to cheer up a sad Manu? Here's the instructions:

Worked like a treat!

Luana's bump has gotten progressively bigger now.

Manu was excited about their little boy or girl to join them soon.
https://i.imgur.com/4pqFnyA.png

Luana about had it with the morning sickness though.
https://i.imgur.com/D5LkN5M.png

On the last couple days of her pregnancy she was in a lot of discomfort.
Oh yeah, you'll be seeing Luana in her swimmingwear a LOT, she needs to swim daily to stay hydrated and I usually don't bother with changing her into something else, because I've tried that and well,.. They couldn't keep up with laundry.
https://i.imgur.com/0T9aJuP.png

And before I knew it, Luana went into labour!
https://i.imgur.com/O7wIFLH.png
Manu was panicking in the background, but I forgot to take a shot..
https://i.imgur.com/cGUxpUe.png

And there she is! Meet their little girl Aleyne! ♥
https://i.imgur.com/YqXhmh9.png

They look so happy to finally meet her.
https://i.imgur.com/hDjxRyd.png

Soon the baby started crying for food, but Manu persisted on holding her first.
https://i.imgur.com/h3UIp7d.png

He went for a kiss but Aleyne wasn't having any of it! That resulted in this hilarious shot.
https://i.imgur.com/iW3o68p.png

I went with a vibrant blue and yellow theme for this room, but as Aleyne grows I'll probably be evolving it to much more muted colours.

Look how lovingly Luana holds her little girl. She's going to be an amazing mom I bet.

Luana also got a beebox and some flowers to keep the bees busy. (I think snapdragon looks the most like lavender so I went with those.)
https://i.imgur.com/tzI0dm1.png

Now that Luana wasn't pregnant anymore, she tried some of her second batch of Fizz, grape!

Luana and Manu have been autonomously embracing and flirting after the birth of their girl lately.
https://i.imgur.com/rTU9wEx.png

Their growing family only seems to make them grow fonder of each other.
https://i.imgur.com/Y8WILR9.png

And before I knew it..
https://i.imgur.com/NFHROf5.png

They were up to some trouble.
https://i.imgur.com/ymeoKfd.png

The morning after, she seemed to be sick again....
https://i.imgur.com/6irA3ha.png

But she still went to work, and after work Manu and her were still holding to their ritualy of chatting and dining together.
https://i.imgur.com/cpdHRGH.png

Just after Luana took care of Aylene, she got the notification that she was eating for two again!
https://i.imgur.com/SLxOK5n.png

I didn't take a screenshot of the confetti, but she rushed to Manu to go tell him.
https://i.imgur.com/ybZMOxO.png

"So, uhm, I know it's only been a couple weeks since the birth of Aylene but.. we're expecting...again!!!"
https://i.imgur.com/XJvunL4.png

Manu was upset at first.
https://i.imgur.com/kkiNlkJ.png

But I secretly think he's just as thrilled to have their family growing fast. Luana seemed relieved.
https://i.imgur.com/mQWCINg.png

Meepsy was still getting attention too, he's been happily frolicking about in his cage.
https://i.imgur.com/87WQhSh.png

Luana is the first sim who I remember has been so morningsick during her pregnancy.
https://i.imgur.com/775AfSh.png

It takes a good portion of her morning sulking.
https://i.imgur.com/pkVaKJf.png

Manu always seems to be aple to cheer her up though.
https://i.imgur.com/E5y2rDK.png

Luana's bees love their snapdragon lavender garden, and Luana herself is quite pleased, too.
https://i.imgur.com/WXlY0WO.png

Even if Luana is taking a nap, Manu stays nearby.
https://i.imgur.com/LfrwHgv.png

After her nap she joined him in playing some chess.
https://i.imgur.com/03UC37e.png

And here he is giving Meepsy some much needed attention!
https://i.imgur.com/yMqwMEZ.png

Then one night, it was time.
https://i.imgur.com/lCBXlh8.png

They just about finished the new room for their next nooboo, as Luana went into labour.

A boy this time! Meet little Kadri. :blush:

I know things seem to be going fast in this update. But I've been playing a ton and not making as much pictures so this has been at least 4 simweeks of playing or so, but little Aylene was already growing up to be a toddler!
https://i.imgur.com/ITU7nQB.png

She seems to have her dads skintone and her moms hair.
https://i.imgur.com/buA2lDD.png

She's a cutie, even when she's sad because she's sleepy.
https://i.imgur.com/xTEDL9J.png

That's it for now, I'm gonna go back and play a bunch more, LOL. I need to get used to taking more pictures, as now I feel it seems like I've been rushing through the game. I've really not,... I think? Eh, either way, I'm having fun and that's what counts most :)
