[Games] Congrats Game (round 2, finally!)
Welcome to the second round of my congrats game. My internet finally starting working again, yay! For people who are keeping track of their own families, here are the links to previous rounds: (feel free to start playing if you haven't played before)Round 1: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=3341090&board=game
Sign-ups: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=3340828&board=gameIt also would probably be easiest for you to pick one of the players and use their rules (so get the gender and amount of kids they got and use their naming rules), this way you will always have some fixed rules just like the players I am keeping track of.
Rules for this round:
  • Choose the name from the name banks under your family.
  • Write something about the arrival of the new one(s) and about how your eldest is doing. And what impact does having 2 kids have on the parents?
  • If you want to add (or remove) a significant other, you’re free to do so, but as long as you write about what happened. The name should come from another player’s name bank, and the LN is up to you.I’ll always be open to ideas and suggestions on how to make this congrats game more fun. If you have anything you’d like to see in the game, just let me know!

    AD: Signy LavernaLuna is now a happy and rather shy two-year-old girl, who enjoys painting with crayons and playing with her teddy bear. She also loves playing with her twin cousins, who were born some weeks after she came home.Some months after Luna's first birthday, Jo started to think about a second adoption. While in the process, she met Liam. Her friend Leah had talked about him a few times, but Jo had never paid attention until one afternoon when Leah invited him over. Jo and Liam immediately hit it off, and she was pleased to learn that he was very fond of children. Liam went to visit them several times in the next months; sometimes Jo, Luna and Liam would go for a walk in the park, other times Luna would stay with Leah, and Jo and Liam would go to the cinema. Liam also started going to weekend lunchs with Jo's family. Almost a year after her application, another little girl came home. Jo decided to call her Signy, which means "victory". Unlike her sister, she is a very active and nosy baby, but seems to be really at ease at her new home. Luna is simply delighted to have a little sister to take care of, and she calls her "my doll". Jo and Liam plan to find a new house to move in together; they want to get married eventually and Liam wants to adopt the girls.

    DD/DD: Amber Nicole & Andrea Susan (nb)After a year of adjusting to life with thier 1st daugther, Gabe & Shelby decided that it was time to add another bundle of joy to their family. This time there wasn't as much trying involved and they quickly fell pregnant, the surprise came at ultra-sound time when they detected not 1 but 2 little heartbeats. Gabe was concerned that twins might be too much for them since he had only recently gotten promoted to deputy and Shelby was working hard at the law firm as the assistant to one of the senior partners. Shelby believed this was a blessing since it meant they could grown their family to the perfect size, 3 and she wouldn't have to go thru 3 pregnancies to do so.The twins where 2 weeks premmie, and they ended up with two girls, Amber Nicole, named for the colour of the fields in their home town and Shelby's childhood friend Nicole, and Andrea Susan, after Gabe's parents, Andrew & Susan West.# For next time:

    DD: Oceane PrimroseGabriel and Iris were delighted when they found out they were pregnant with Oceane, although they decided to keep the baby's gender a surprise. Callan is delighted to have a new playmate, even though he said he would prefer a brother! Iris and Gabriel even let Callan pick her name, and he chose the name from one of Iris's best known paintings 'Ocean before the Storm'. The couple decided to give the name a French twist, and added Primrose after Gabriel's mother.Callan is developing extremely well, especially with Iris working from home, and Gabriel is around a lot more. Iris has found motherhood much easier than she ever hoped, and Gabriel has been a real support, meaning that they haven't had to rely on extra help as yet. They are going to see how it goes managing with both Callan and Oceane before they look into further assistance.

    While working one night Carson met a really nice girl anmed Mallory. She was beautiful and Carson couldn't keep his eyes of her. Fortunately for him, she thought he was very cute and ended up giving him her phone number. At first he thought he should wait with calling her for a few days, but about 5 minutes after his shift was over he couldn't resist anymore and called her. She had actually been hoping he'd call and invited him over. Carson, knowing that Rave was being cared for by his neighbour, didn't hesitate and went straight to her place. He made love with her without ever having exchanged more than 10 words with her. They were boyfriend and girlfriend for a while and she accidently got pregnant. At first Mallory was actually happy with it; she'd have a baby with a guy she was in love with. But when she went over to his place to tell him they'd become parents (after getting his address from a colleague of his), she found out he already had a child. Cars had been hiding that fact successfully for months now. He had never taken her to his place for the months they'd been together and he had never even given her his address in fear that she'd show up unnounced one day.Mallory was obviously really upset and Cars felt like the biggest idiot ever to think he could keep it a secret that he was a father. In the end Mallory decided to give Carson anoth shot, which had more to do with that she needed him right now, than with anyting else. She moved in with him to take care of the baby together, much to the objection of her parents who thought that Carson was about the worst thing that ever happened to her. They only let her go under the condition that she'd stay in law school.

At first Aurelia was considering an abortion as she definitely wasn't ready to have another child. Then she found out that she was expecting twins. After her parents had promised to help with the new babies, Aurelia decided to keep them. The twins were born two months early, but luckily they were both healthy. Aurelia named them Cassian Aurelius and Cornelia Livia. Phoenix is a proud big brother and adores his new brother and sister whom he calls Cass and Cory.

    When Jasmine and Carson found out they were having twins they were very shocked. Jasmine had twins in her family but that had been a long time ago and she had never imagined that she would have twins. The two were very happy soon. The pregnancy had some compliactions and the twins were born a few weeks early, but now James Joseph Charles and Rose Hannah Victoria are doing good. Little Chris was looking forward to having a brother and sister but now that they are here he is a bit jealous of the two new babies.
