To make up for being so later with round 3, I'm posting round 4 back-to-back.

---

It's a Congrats. It's a story game. You keep up yourself.
The story follows three sisters, who each find themselves taking an unexpected journey into motherhood. If you are a storyteller, feel free to write a few paragraphs about each sister's experiences each round.

---

If you don't enjoy the story aspect, just skip to the names section and name away.

---

There will be a dice rolling element in each round after round one, so everyone's family will be a little different in the end. There will be five rounds total.

---

When the twins are two, they decide to take the plunge again and have one last baby. In addition to having another child, it marks a big change in Middle's life, as she quits work to stay home with her children.
