1. WRITE (as much as possible): Not only will this exercise your writing muscules, this will also be fun to read
2. FOLLOW THE NAMING CODE: I put them their for a reason. It's like your spouse telling you what names they like and don't like User: Christinaxo

Story: Happy Birthday Little Ones!!!! Well lets start at the beginning, How did you tell your MIL (and Jack, for Mar)? Were they excited, happy, sad? Or did they find out on there own? If so how did they confront you? Were you relived to tell them? Or did you like keeping it a secret? Does Vicky/Thomas/Cameron/Fabian know they will be a big brother/sister soon? Are they excited? How's your pregnancy so far? Are you bummed that you can't find out the gender? Have you talked names yet? Is your MIL encouraging a certain name? Is your MIL being a big help? Or just a bother? Has your child been experiencing any medical, emotional, or separation issues? Do they have any kind of security blanket? Did you plan them a birthday party? If so how was it? Tell us where it was, who was on the guest list, what kind of cake ETC... Does it make you sad that your little baby is growing up? Also someone in your family recently got married. How was the wedding? Did it bring back any memories from your special day? Did your kids play any roll in the ceremony? Did they do something silly or funny when they were helping? (For Mar... Jack got a girlfriend... What's she like?)
(You are about 5 months pregnant now.)

DCat: Brody (Male)Diana figured it out when Kody decided to tell everyone that pickles and peanut butter was the best thing since sliced bread. Diana was extremely happy to be getting another grandchild. Cameron didn't really seem to understand what was going on, except that Mommy's belly was getting bigger. The pregnancy so far was going good, except for the weird food combinations that Kody always seemed to be in the mood for. Hashbrowns and a Klondike bar? It happened to be her favorite breakfast so far in the pregnancy. They still haven't talked about names, because they really don't want to get their hopes up with talking about a specific gender, and being deadset on a name and the baby being the other gender. Absolutely heartbreaking sometimes. Cameron seems to have separation issues with Kody, and one day she sat him down to give him a present. The present was a little teddy bear that Kody said would be Mommy when she wasn't around. Diana reported that when Kody went to work, Cameron wouldn't let go of the stuffed bear. Kody and Oliver decided that a birthday party would be too much with Kody being pregnant, and it only being Cameron's first birthday. Instead they just had a small family thing, with the Kody's and Oliver's brothers and Kody's parents coming along. And, of course, Cameron's godparents, Tiffanie and Marco, and their little girl. Cameron didn't really understand it, except that he got to smash his face in cake. Kody thought it was the cutest thing ever, but she really wasn't looking forward to cleaning him up. And about a month before Cameron's birthday, Kody's brother, Jefferson, got married. Kody was one of the readers at the wedding, not able to do much else, and Cameron was the ringbearer for the wedding. Instead of walking up the alile, he ran up andalmost triped going up the marble stairs. Kody almost had a heartattack. But the wedding was nice and small, just like her own wedding, and Kody was very happy for her brother, for finally growing up.

DDog: Maggie "Maggot" (Female)Avy told Raff that it was really time to tell her mother and Jack about the pregnancy, because she was sick of hiding it. Raff then confessed he had already told Jack, because "it came up in a conversation". Avy was a bit annoyed at that, but decided it was for the better, because now they'd only have to tell her mom. At Fabian's birthday Avy and Raff gave Fabian a present, which Vivian helped him unpack. It was a t-shirt that said "I'm a big brother". Vivian looked at it for a few seconds, before she realized what it meant. She was absolutely delighted to find out there would be an addition to the family. Jack feigned surprise as well, because Raff had asked him to not let Vivian know he knew before she did. Vivian cannot believe she didn't notice Avy's giant belly before, now that she paid attention...Fabian was pretty oblivious to what was going on and decided that his cake was more interesting than those squealing adults. He was covered in is from head to foot, before Avy realized that anything was amiss. Jack insisted on making a bunch of pictures of him, before they washed him. Jack has gotten his high school diploma thanks to Avy. Avy would have loved to see him try for college, but Jack wasn't really interested. He got a job instead. At his work he met a girl that he likes a lot and he asked her out. They went to the movies and apparently she slept over, because the two of them showed up for breakfast the next morning. Vivian immediately interrogated the girl, but the girl didn't seem to mind it. A week after that Nio (Raff and Jack's half-brother) called to say that he would be getting married the week after and would liked for them to be there. Raff and Jack were pretty surprised at this, since they hadn't heard from Nio for a couple of years.

DCat: Max (Male)We just celebrated Thomas' birthday last week. He's now officially a one-year-old. Greg and I threw a big party for him, and Thomas absolutely loved it. He is a people-person and seems to enjoy being held by people he knows--as long as one of us is within sight. Oria was all proud of her little grandbaby, though the day was bittersweet because Cesare wasn't there. At the end of the party, once we had helped Thomas open his presents and he was napping contentedly, we announced that we were expecting another baby in just over four months. The rest of the family was surprised, but happy to hear that Thomas would be getting a sibling.
Last month was a big month for my family as well. My youngest sister Avery got married. She's the last of us girls to get married, and the day was a very emotional one for everybody. Her wedding went wonderfully, and she is very happy with her new husband.

When I turned 10 weeks Kathy really started bugging us. Sure I was a bit sick but she still acted like I was dying and constantly asked what was wrong with me. Finally I cracked and told her. She was very happy... Until she found out I was over 10 weeks. She got really mad that we hadn't told her yet, but eventually talking to her friends, about how lucky she is to have 3 grand kids and counting, made her feel better. Then when we went to have dinner with my family she became extremely pissed when she found out that Ellie, Tim, and my parents all already knew for a while. Then we got home and she eventually calmed down... only to flare up once again when Ray (Rachel) accidentally let it slip that she and Hannah already knew. We also told Vicky not too long ago that there is a "bebee" in Mama's tummy. I don't think she understands. But she just says "Okie..." and "Coooool" and "mey dem tay way fom MY keewa" (which means Make them stay away from MY Keela). Keela is her baby doll, and she has a little cat she can't leave the house without named Moosie. This time around I still didn't want to know but Kathy did. At first we said no but she was just so irritating that I finally said yes. But the doctor said that the baby was crossing it's legs which means a sad sad Nonna. So far this pregnancy has been okay, not a lot of drama thankfully. As for names I am stuck on Alana OR Andrew, Jeff likes Lucia, Vicky wants Moosie-Goosie, and Kathy is being persistent on Adrienne or Donald. So far it's okay but I am getting really fed up with her being here. I mean it's MY house, MY husband, MY daughter, MY pregnancy, and MY life (okay I know I'm being selfish but still). Well anyways about a month or so ago Ellie got married and had her only and best niece, Vicky, as her flower girl. Vicky however had other plans and ate most of the petals, so we had to go find some more and remind Vicky that flowers are NOT for eating. The rest of the wedding went fine. We are also planned a birthday party for Vicky shortly after Ty and Ellie would return from their honeymoon. It was just a small family gathering with plenty of gifts. The guest list was my parents, Ellie, Ty, Tim, and (sigh)... Kathy. Lora thankfully couldn't make it.
