 After Jesse aged up, he took a nice long nap… Marc and I decided that it would be the perfect opportunity for us to get pregnant with baby 88, so we climbed up into the treehouse with a sleeping bag, and went at it.

 After his nap, he woke up and went to school. Even though it was his birthday, and we would have allowed him to stay home, he wanted to go anyways. He said he wanted to make some new friends.

 After Marc went to work, (he got promoted to principal!) and Jesse went to his first day of classes, I decided to repair the stereo in the back yard that had been broken for months. It was extremely easy, since my repairing skill was fairly high.

 I then decided that I should bring in some more income… we were still struggling with buying all of our children houses. The economy wasn't the best, and house prices were through the roof. We were okay though.

I had to stop sculpting suddenly, and ran to the bathroom. I was nauseous, which was a good sign when it comes to being pregnant!! I hoped for another boy, so that Jesse wouldn't be lonely, but something tells me it will be a girl.

 As I walked out of the bathroom, I noticed that Jesse was sound asleep on the couch. I sighed. This is exactly why we normally let our children stay home on their birthdays… aging up always makes you tired.

 Marc was getting very good on the piano, and was now level 8!! He was very pleasant to listen to, and even if you were across the house, you could hear the beautiful sounds drifting through  the walls.

 Since Jesse was still sound asleep, Marc and I had a pleasant "date" dinner of cheesesteak. For some reason I had been craving it for days, and finally decided to make it, even though we STILL had leftovers in the fridge.

 As I walked out of the kitchen, I felt the first movement! I cheered and giggled and was so excited that I was almost at NINTEY children! I was so proud of each and every one of them!  I was sad though, that so many had moved away to China, Egypt, or even Twinbrook… I had lost contact with many of them as well. It breaks my heart that my children could so easily forget me.

 I went outside, since in Sunset Valley it is always beautiful outside, and began a painting. It ended up being "brilliant" and I knew it would bring in some money when I took it to the consignment shop with a few other sculptures and paintings.

 Colt was still working there, and I greeted him with a hug before asking if he would sell my stuff for me. He smiled, and said "Mom, you know that I would be more than willing to help out! I will buy that lovely painting there, and sell the rest for you!" I smiled. My son was helping me now…

 As I left, I went to the spa for the cheapest massage I could get… My back had been aching, and no matter how many massages Marc gave me, it wasn't as good as a professional chiropractor. He adjusted my spine, and told me to do some yoga poses to stretch, and that I would be just fine.

 When I got home, Jesse was working hard on his homework. I was very interested by him. He was not interested in his Imaginary Friend, and the doll still remained a doll. It wasn't child-form like he was. He hadn't made any friends at school either… I was worried.

 As I stared at the crib in the nursery wishing that whoever was in my belly would join the family SOON, I heard giggling and a loud "WHOOOOSHHH!!!" I looked out the window.

 Jesse was more than entertained in the sandbox, not even building anything, simply tossing sand into the air… Most of it landed in his hair! I knew he was slobby, but I didn't know it was that bad!

 I called him over, and we played hopscotch together. I didn't get very far, because I could hardly see over my very large stomach.

 Jesse didn't get very far either! We laughed, but he suddenly ran into the house leaving me alone. I sighed… I figured I may as well go spy on the neighbors.

 I was spying on the neighbors through the telescope when suddenly I looked up into the sky with it. I had no idea that I could actually see the stars during the day! I discovered a large yellow star! I named it Lasola! The scientists down the road donated a good sum of money for finding the star!

 As it got darker, I walked around to the front of the house, and saw Jesse  (wearing a suit for some reason - and no, he's not insane) telling a beautiful little girl a ghost story! It turns out her name is Sommer Meadows, and that she is Matthias Moonbrow's daughter. I walked inside, and suddenly went into labor. I walked quietly to the car so as not to scare Jesse or Sommer.

 I came home a few hours later with a beautiful pair of daughters! I knew I would have girls! This is Gianna! My 88th Child!

 And this is her twin sister, Dana. Baby 89.

 The girls get along very well, and talk to each other in what I like to call "baby talk" which consists of a lot of "goo"s and "gah"s…

 I fed them both and peered out the window again…

 Jesse was playing on the playground with Sommer! Something tells me this might be a crush! I hope so! She's a very sweet girl!

 They played all over the playground together! But finally, she had to go home.

 Gianna has her father's hair!  She is so sweet! And loves to cuddle more than anything!

 She was difficult when it came to learning, though. It took her around 8 tries before she got the potty chair concept down. Maybe I should have started with talking or walking first.

 And Dana, she is a handful! She is always whining about something! Even if theres nothing wrong with her.

 I have adorable little toddlers!

 Dana loves to be tossed in the air and tickled, but snuggling is not her thing.

 When it came time to teach her to talk, she was always in a far away land. I guess thats what I get for telling my babies stories all the time! She learned it fairly quickly though!

 I went back and taught Gianna to walk. She picked this up a lot easier than she picked up the potty chair. The good news though, is that there are no more diapers on her end that need changing! Only on Dana's.

 But that was about to change. Sure enough, two tries later, and Dana knew how to use the potty chair like a champ! All of a sudden I heard Jesse screech, and start shouting for me. I responded quickly with a "WHATS WRONG!? ARE YOU OKAY!?" Of course he was okay. It was a false alarm. "Mom! Sommer is a teenager already! I have to age up too!" I smiled, asked him how his grades were, and when we responded with "I have an A…" I agreed to have his birthday early.

 And he is handsome! Sure enough once he has finished changing into his new "teenager approved" clothing, he calls Sommer and invites her over to show her the new him, and to check out his teenage best friend.

 And she was beautiful. He was immediately head over heels in love with her, and to show her without being TOO obvious, he gave her some precious  pink flowers. She loved them!

 They headed outside to look at the stars for a little while, and then came inside when they heard Marc playing the toddlers a lullaby on the guitar.

 Of course, once the whole household was in the nursery, the music changed to something appropriate to dance to! I danced with Dana, and Jesse and Sommer danced together (kind of awkwardly too!)

 After the music party broke up, I taught little Dana to walk. Skills were almost done, and that meant that birthdays were just around the corner!

 Jesse and Sommer did their homework together, and then he asked me if he could have a sleepover with her. When I told him I wasn't sure that it was appropriate, he reminded me that Marc and Mia lived together, and are married with a daughter now. I gave him a stern look which I intended to have the "Its not the same" tone to it. I sighed, gave him the ground rules that she would sleep in the girls room, he would sleep in the boys room, and that there would be no sneaking around in the middle of the night. He agreed, and asked her to stay. She giggled and of course, agreed to the rules as well. I called Matthias to let him know, and to assure him that I would keep a very close eye on them.

 Marc finished the toddlers skills up by teaching little Gianna to talk! She once again, picked it up a bit slowly, but eventually she got there!

 Before going to bed, Jesse flirted for a little while, and then told Sommer he had a surprise for her. He led her to the girls room…

 And immediately began a pillow fight! It was adorable, and of course tired them out. The next morning, we set up the birthdays!

 Gianna is adorable, and looks so much like Marc. She still loves purple!

 While Dana's hair straightened out, so she decided to wear it long and down. She still loves green!

Sommer, Jesse, Gianna, Me, Marc, Dana
