it lacks a human pulse

Hey again :] I've been holding onto this update for awhile. Mostly because I was trying to decide if I was going to do 2 weeks or not in this update. In the end, I decided against it. I didn't want to have another 90 picture update. Those are nice, if the images are compressed JPEG's >_>




We open where we left off. Because I want to be sure to give the kids lots of "screen time," but also because Naveen is a slow learner.



So it's time for a little help.



Things progress much faster after the smart milk, and Shiva is able to greet April upon her arrival at home. It's time to make more babies. This is a matriarchy, after all.



Aww. They must get so annoyed with me, I turn on the lights in their bedroom all the time in order to take pictures and stare.



Nanette thinks this is the perfect time to lecture April, but when April is studying how to make new dishes, she is dead to the world.

Besides, no one cares what you have to say Nanette. You're really rude and condescending. And it would be fine if you were endearing, but you're not.



Naveen is such a happy babbu :3



I'm going to regret this later. But things are about to get really rough around here.



April's night time position has her sleeping during the days, and working weekends. Since Shiva is off on weekends, he spends some time relaxing beside her. Only when Naveen is napping of course.

April was pretty clear about spending as much time with their kids as possible.



This is the rough part I'm talking about.



After her pop, hunger hits her like a wave. I'm not even joking. It's like her hunger bar just dove on impact.



So hungry she couldn't even wait for dinner. But I'm glad you guys are clicking together so nicely.



CAUGHT YOU. Ohoho. It's about time.

Sometimes I think you guys think I'm making it up about Nanette not caring, but she literally never autonomously messes with babies or children. Every interaction you've seen until now has been forced. That's why April is such a relief :']



But, as it is, it's time for Naveen to grow up.



And talk to strangers online apparently >_>

Where are the parents??



But eventually I get him to the mirror and adjust his look. I keep forgetting to put those dots on Shiva. That white skin is just made for these dots.



Minnie (lilith-sims) came by to seek advice from April regarding pregnancy. This is Minnie's first.



hhehehehe



EEHEHEHEHE



Minnie stayed long enough that she felt at home enough to wash some dishes. Weird, but okay.



Naveen's ~pirate~ room :3



Even though April is on maternity leave, she wants to be ready for her return to work. So she's still up at the crack of dawn and reading by nine. It's actually really disconcerting, considering Lala's horrible pregnancies.



I caught the delivery person doing this. Little too much time watching Wakka, methinks.



YES, GOOD.



Is this really the best idea in your condition??



I think Nanette is actually ~really~ going soft this time! But then again, playing chess with a child is different from tickling one, eh?

(in case you didn't know, I'm an unreliable narrator! Whoooo!)



Naveen is adorbs. I don't know if I'm going to play spares. I mean, I'll still -play- them, but IDK WE'LL SEE.



Hallo Malik :3
(He's my favorite out of that batch)



FINALLY, A BATHROOM BIRTH! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG...ROUTE FAIL HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!



Except no one else could get in but Naveen because of how narrow the bathroom is. I laughed until I cried.



But because Naveen was in the way, April couldn't hand off the twins.

Yes twins.

Do my reasons for prolonging Nanette's life make sense now?



Chanda



Kanti

You'll be better able to tell them apart when they're toddlers.



I don't..uh, I don't think you guys should be out there at this hour.



Albert (lilith-sims) :3
He's so pretty.
He's getting in one of my families at some point, somewhere.



One of these days, I'll get back to Hieromy and actually build them houses with phones and stuff so that people can call them and all that. And play them even.

but the beauty of Hieromy is the lack of obligation.



In spite of bringing other kids home, Naveen generally prefers to play on his own in his room. He's a pretty introverted kid.



Nanette wakes up a few hours after Shiva arrives home and they share a late dinner before she has to work.



And then it was time for the twins' birthday. Chanda.



Kanti.



Heheheh..I purposely gave them the same hair because I hate myself. Chanda has smaller eyes than Kanti.



I'm going to capture every single one of these moments for the scrapbook and there's not a thing you can do to stop me.



Playtime. It's just too bad they don't each get their own big brother ;p



And with that, I gave April a new look. I quite like these defaults :3





Kanti crawled out of her crib just to go bug her daddy. It was totally cute.

But alas, that's it for this week :'| I'll be posting the spare update in a little while.
