The Douse Family x:

[align=center]Well, I'm obviously not the most popular person here on the sims fourms, but, I'll try to spice up my legacy, and maybe people will visit me more often, eh (:




Soon after my little baby Tyler was born, I started throwing up again. At first, I thought that it couldn't be true, because Tom and I had decided not to try for another child until Tyler had grown up a little. We wanted to care for and nurture our children, one by one. I'm not necessarily saying we wanted to love only one child once until another came along, but we wanted to give our children a sense of protection and love. Sure, it may seem a little sappy or weird, but when you think about all of the children in the world that get left behind and that are unloved, it changes your point of view sometimes.
But, our plans failed. I was pregnant again.



But all of the worries and wonders faded away on the lovely day of Tyler's birthday. I never thought I would be so attached to a child. He was absolutely adorable. An angel, sent down from the great heavens to give me a purpose. The purpose to love my little baby like I always wanted to.



It was absolutely amazing! I couldn't believe how much I had grown since the last time I thought about giving birth to another wonderful child. In some sense, I wanted a girl. But I wanted Tyler to be able to help out a little brother, and show him things guys do. We had already picked out names, and I was glad that was over with. Tyler's name had been from the last minute. We were too excited about our first child to even give a single thought about a name!



Tom was in total shock when I went into labor. The child wasn't expected as soon as it came. But, none the less, we were happy. Yes, it hurt. A lot. And I'm sure Tom will never know the pain I went through to give birth to this little thing, even though he was screaming and shouting with me.



She was absolutely cute! Yep, that's right, she. The little tator-tots name is Alice. We havn't forgotten about Tyler yet, but we still want to spend a lot of time with Alice. We rotate some, I guess. It's hard to take care of a little newborn and still have to train your little toddler to be ready for the world. It's stress, but we love our children. I just hope she grows up as quickly as Tyler's aging seemed. I love her, but the constant crying and shouting is getting a little too much.

awww, great update!  Tyler is adorable.  Great job!

Thanks!
Now maybe I can get this story rolling (: But there seems to be something wrong with my CC hair.
I just changed Alice's hair when she grew up ((to a teen)) and it looks all. . . not right. Everyone else's hair looks fine. But I havn't changed their hair. Only Alice's. Her hair looks kind of. . . stringy or not right. I'll try to get a pic. It looks fine in the mirror-changy-view-mode thing.

haha, ya I hate it when sims hair doesn't cooperate. 

[Joann]

lols.
I'll try changing another sims hair to see if it's just a temp. glitch. But if it gets all hay-wire on me, I'll just delete all my CC ((which is only clothes and hair)) and I'll just re-download them. Plus, there's a lot of the CC that I don't like (: It's like cleaning it out.

There will probably be another update pretty soon. Sometime today. I've got a few ready (:

Wonderful legacy.
You have very pretty sims =)
And I LOVE Mel's shirt, btw.

I knew that soon enough, my little Tyler would be growing up. It was sad because the little tot we used to have is gone. He was so much fun as a toddler, and I really enjoyed him a lot.
He wouldn't let me take a good close-up picture of him, but I did manage to snap a somewhat-decent photo.



After a few visits to the doctor and a few extra tries, I finally got pregnant again. It took a while, but I'm glad we're finally almost at the end of the creation of our family. I used to always want so many kids when I was young. That is, until I found out how hard it is to keep up with only a few. I never thought of bills or food and diapers, it was just all about the kids. Maybe that's why I still love kids to death.



I'm glad Alice grew up, because now we can be more interactive with her. And, well, she's interactive. She's so happy and hyper all the time, I really don't know if I can stand it. I love her, as always, but it's starting to get very tiring. She'll be growing up just like her brother soon, and maybe she'll be able to fend some for herself.



Over time, my stomach began to get bigger and bigger until I thought I was going to pop! I had bad back pains, but it was all worth it in the end. We ended up with another adorable girl, and named her Kailee. She got a mixture of mine and her dads eyes, like the other two. They're all extremely cute kids, and I'm glad I decided to have three!



Well, Kailee grew up faster than all of them. I guess the more kids you have, the less time it takes for them to grow up. And I was sad to see her grow up from a little stinky-turd into a cute wiggle-worm, because she was really quiet.



After Alice turned about ten, she and Tom really bonded. He didn't leave the other kids on the side-lines, but he just seemed to have a really special connection with the girl. And, I would too. She's very pretty, and I hope little Kailee turns out like her big sister. Maybe Alice will influence Kailee some when she gets older.

Aw! The kids are just so cute! I can't wait to see what they do with their lives!

Thanks.
Sorry if it seems to be moving a little too fast. I had to delete a couple of pictures. I didn't plan on changing it into the more 'explanation' type of story, so the pictures I took didn't fit well. So, there should be about one or two more updates with quick little things, and then I should be on track (:

[CountryGal4132]

you're not moving too fast at all, you're doing great!  I love it, it gives me something to do in my spare time
