Story: About three months have past since you brought home Baby Cameron/Thomas/Vicky/Fabian. Has the baby's personality changed? Have you taken the baby on any trips? Have you joined any mommy and me classes? Your maternity leave should be about over... are you sad? Are you going back to work? If so who's going to watch the baby while your at work? Also how was the first day back? Has anyone come to visit you and your new baby? Does the baby seem to have any medical issues? Has the cat/dog been nice to your new arrival? Has your relationship with your husband Oliver/Greg/Jeff/Raff gotten better/worse? Have you been breastfeeding, pumping, or formula feeding? Does the baby sleep through the night yet? Also something very exciting hapopened in the family. What was it? Anything else you'd like to add?Question 1: From now till I say so how does three or four months passing in Addy Hills between rounds sound?
Question 2: How old would you like your child to be when you find out your pregnant with the next and/or when you have the next? (also if they had another kid accidently then what would be a good age range :) )

DCat: Brody (Male)Cameron is a surprisingly easy baby. He wakes up about three times during the night, and Kody and Oliver alternate getting up to see what little Cameron needs. Getting back to work was tough, because Kody was extremely tired all the time, needing at least three cups of coffee to keep her going. Kody worked a regular five day week, sometimes pulling an extra Saturday on if something special was coming up and the extra money was needed. Two of the five days she worked Oliver didn't and was able to watch Cameron, though his mother came over to help him when she didn't have to work. Two of the final days Kody was allowed to bring Cameron in, because her clinic has an in-house day care for the doctors when they have no one else to watch the baby. And Fridays, Kody's mother watches her grandson, because Friday is her day off and both Oliver and Kody work. Oliver and Kody are currently planning Cameron's baptism, and in the mean time a handful of cousins that live close stopped by to see the new addition to the O'Riley-Cooper family. Luckily Cameron is perfectly healthy, giving out a nice, loud cry when he got his infant shots. Brody knows to stay away from Kody and Cameron, because he tends to get ignored, though Oliver gives the cat attention when Kody can't.Things have seemed to get better with Oliver and Kody. They are more intimate and playful with each other, and Kody seems to be extremely happy now that they have their first child. Kody's already talking about having another, but Oliver thinks they should wait at least a year or two before having another baby, so that way they can get used to having Cameron. As it is, Cameron is starting to sleep better, goingfor good four hour to six hour stretches at a time before waking up for some reason or another. What came as a shock was Kody's brother Jefferson saying that he was engaged to his girlfriend of four months, Veronica. Kody thinks Jeff pulled a cousin James and got his girlfriend knocked up. They'll see soon enough, of course.1. sounds gooddd
2. 1-4 sounds about good for either way =) (haha oops baby x])

LN: CarsonDH: Rafferty Fabiano "Raff" (24)
DW: Avery Jude "Avy" [Roswell] (27)DS: Fabiano Jacoby "Fabian" (3mon)DDog: Maggie "Maggot" (Female)Avy can hardly believe it's been 3 months already since Fabian was born. The time goes by too fast for her. Her official maternity leave is over and now she has taken on additional leave so she can stay with him every day until he is at least 6 months old. Jack is still living with them and when Avy discovered he hadn't even finished his high school she decided to home school him. Jack wasn't very happy about this, but Raff told him he had the choice to either do what Avy wanted or leave the house. Jack gave in. After two weeks of tutoring Avy was shocked to find out from Jack that Raff hadn't even finished high school either. She insisted on tutoring him as well, but he got angry and refused. He said that there was no time between having a baby and working extra shifts.Avy's mother comes over all the time. She doesn't approve of Jack being in the house and she thinks Avy should go back to work and even offered to take care of Fabian when she was away. She doesn't seem to understand that Avy just wants to be with her baby and that the babysitting part isn't the problem (especially not with Jack around and Raff working pretty much the exact opposite hours as she would, since he works nights). Fabian is a very calm baby and doesn't ming to get picked up by different people. The only one who does mind other people touching him is Maggie. In the beginning she started to growl whenever a stranger would come too close to him. She doesn't do that anymore, but she is still very alert when others are around the baby. Luckily she likes Jack and has no problems with him picking Fabian. Avy is pretty happy with the way things are going now. She only wished that she could get closer to Raff. He seems very distant and doesn't talk to her about how he feels. She senses the same reluctance to talk about feelings from Jack, and she wonders if something bad ever happened in their family, but she's afraid to ask either.
Q1: I'd like about half a year at least (maybe even more), bc otherwise it would take very long before Fabian gets to go to school everything.Q2: Younger than 3 preferably. For accidents anywhere between 1-3 is okay.

DCat: Max (Male)
Greg, Jaden, and Thomas have had a relatively uneventful few months. Thomas, now three months old, is still his same happy self--the stomach issues seem to have resolved on their own. Jaden has two weeks before her maternity leave ends, and she has decided to go back to work--if for no other reason than she and Greg could really use the money. They are trying to save up to buy a house with more space and more acerage, but with a new baby, the money seems to be flying out the door as quickly as Greg can make it. Max is really enjoying Thomas, which Jaden wasn't too sure about at first. Max sniffs Thomas delicately, then rubs up against him and purrs loudly. It's almost as if Max has adopted Thomas too, and Thomas loves the attention he gets--though he has discovered how to use his hands and recently has been grabbing at Max's tail every time he walks by. Jaden's mother recently stayed with them for a few weeks, and she really enjoyed her first grandson. Greg and Jaden decided that Beth will take Thomas on Mondays and Tuesdays while they are at work, and Greg's mother Oria will take him on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Jaden was able to get Fridays off and she can't wait to spend the extra time with her son. Greg recently found out that his entire family is planning to take a trip to Italy next summer, and that he and Jaden were also invited to come. After discussing it with Jaden, she and Greg have decided that they will go to Italy with the rest of his family and that they're going to take Thomas too. Greg's grandparents still live in Italy, and they are excited for the chance to meet their great-grandson.

I can't believe that Vicky is already 3 months old! But time does seem to fly by when you are sleep deprived! Vicky's personality has stayed basically the same since we brought her home. She is still curious and sleepy. Vicky still doesn't sleep through the night. We haven't had a chance to go anywhere other than my mothers house which means Jeff's parents (Kathleen & Henry) haven't met their 3rd grandchild yet. Also big news!!! My sister is engaged to... Tyler!!!! I am so happy for them! They will be getting married in a year or so and they are going to make Victoria the flower girl if she can walk by then (if not then Ty's cousin Matt's son Brayden will be pulling Vicky in a wagon because he's the ring bearer)!!!! No one has come to visit us other than my family. I think J's family feels a little left out but that's okay because we're going to visit them in a month or two! That will be the first time Vicky will leave the country! We haven't joined anykind of class because I have to go to work for another month or two (then the school year will end). Jeff and I discussed this before and he decided to take his paternity leave now and if he needed to work his boss said it was ok to work from home. The first day back was nice at first. Having 20 kindergarteners attempt to hug you is quite a sight! Math time and Reading time went by really fast and soon it was nap time. That was a bit hard for me. I almost started crying, but unlike the kiddos I was not crying for my mommy.. I was crying for my baby. The rest of the day went by good and soon I got home and told Vicky how much I loved her. I'm so glad I'm not working next year. The other problem with me going to work was Vicky's breastfeeding. I would obviously not be able to feed her while at work. Then I decided to pump.. But I can't do that at work so I do it at home. Vicky is very healthy but just a bit small for her age, which is attributed to her premature appearance into the world. My relationship with Jeff I think has gotten better. We seem to understand eachother more than we used to. Q1: Good
Q2: 2-3 years when baby born (for planned) 14mon-2 years when baby born (for unplanned)
