Hello everyone!! It's been a long time. I'm slowly finding my way back to sims. I have a lot to share here before I finish bring this account up to day. I also have some poses and cc to share with all of you. I hope you're all doing well and like this story. It's baby time!!😍

Anna pov:

The day had started as normal. Ed and I woke up, he had helped me get up from bed and we had breakfast, but I quickly realised it was not going to be a normal day. At around 10 am I started feeling contractions coming closer together and I thought those couldn’t be Braxton Hicks. Sure enough, my water broke while I was taking a shower before we went to the hospital.

After my obstetrician confirmed our baby girl would be coming that day and getting settled at the hospital, all that was left for us to do was wait.

“I called our families, they will be here in a couple of minutes,” Edward said as he approached my bed. I closed my eyes, feeling the pain of another contraction hitting me and Ed placing his lips on my hair, as if he was trying to kiss the pain away. Once the contraction was over, I lied back down on the bed, opening my eyes to see my husband.

“It hurts,” I said, trying to smile.

“I know, but you’re doing amazing,” he said before kissing my lips. “I’m so proud of you. I love you.”

“I love you too,” I said. We stayed in silence for a couple of minutes and that’s when I remember I have been meaning to talk to him about something important since that morning. “I want to ask you something.”

“What is it?” he said, his eyebrows joining in a confused expression.

“I know we talked about not letting anyone in here for the delivery but,” I paused as another contraction hit me.

“Breathe, love,” Edward said, taking my hand in his, slowly drawing circles on my palm with his finger.

“That one was worse,” I said before taking a deep breath to calm myself. “I wanted to ask you if my mum can be here with us while I give birth.” The idea of my mother being present during the birth of our daughter had been in my head for the last couple of days. Edward and I were extremely nervous about what would be happening in a couple of hours and I knew having my mother in the room would help me stay calm; and if I was relaxed, so would be Edward; but I couldn’t decide something like that on my own.

“Of course, love.” Hearing him said that made me feel instant relief. “Whatever you need.”

“Thank you. Would your mum be okay with that?” I asked.

As much as I love Eva, I was not comfortable with the idea of her being there, but I also didn’t want her to feel left out.

“She will be okay; remember she already told us that. She even told you the story of how she asked her mum to be there but made her mother in law stay out when I was born,” Edward said, reminding me of the conversation we had had a month ago. “She will understand. Just worry about our daughter,” he said, placing his hand on my belly, where our daughter was getting ready to leave what had been her home for the past 40 weeks.

As another contraction came, I heard the door of our room opening.

“Hi Anni,” my dad said entering the room, followed by our mothers.

“Hi,” I said, breathing through the rest of my contraction.

“How are you feeling?” Eva asked.

“Good,” I said, as I tried to give them a reassuring smile.

“My girl, I’m so proud of you,” my mum said, getting closer to the bed so she could hug me with unshed tears in her eyes.

“Don’t cry, mum, or I will start crying too,” I said, hugging her back.

“I’m sorry, I can’t help it. You’re so big.”

“I want to ask you something,” I said, giving Edward one last glance as he gave me a small nod in reassurance. “Would you stay with me?”

“You want me to stay with you while you give birth?” my mum asked, letting go of me to look me in the eyes.

“Yes, please.”

“Of course, baby. I will stay,” she said, her smile making me feel safe. I turned to look at Edward again; he was standing next to Eva, who gave me a big smile and a little nod with her head; her way of telling me that she supported my decision.

Hours passed between contractions and getting distracted with our families. My doctor and nurses came into the room every once in a while to check on me. As I dilated more and more, the contractions got stronger, closer in time. After 7 hours of being at the hospital, I suddenly felt the urged to push. My obstetrician came quickly, followed by three nurses after I asked Edward to call her. She made sure our family left the room before she settled herself at the bottom of the bed to check me up and as she did that I heard her say:

“You’re ten centimetres dilated Anni. It’s time to meet your baby girl."

Anna POV: At 30 weeks pregnant my belly was getting in the way of everything. I still had 10 weeks left before our baby girl arrived and, even though I already loved my daughter with all my heart and I liked being pregnant, I would be lying If I didn’t say I wasn’t tired. Studying while being pregnant, did not make things easier. Fortunately, my university offered online courses. I had a long chat with Edward when I found out that was an option. He knew how much I enjoyed going to my classes and studying in the library, but he supported my decision of taking that semester online. I wanted to stay home with my baby as much as I could and I would still have classes, just in a different format. The doorbell took me out of my thoughts. It was Saturday and Edward and I were back home for the weekend. Our university house was ready for the arrival of our baby, but our house back home needed to have some last-minute things done, especially considering we were going to be staying here for the first two weeks after I had giving birth. I opened the door and I instantly found myself surrounded by the arms of my cousins, Brooklyn and Kristen. We had planned that meeting weeks before and I was so happy I could spend some time with them again. “Wow! Your belly is huge!” Brooklyn said as they both entered the house and I closed the door. ”Brookie!” Kristen said, turning around to look at her sister as she shook her head with contained laughter. ”What?” she asked. “She’s right though, I feel like a whale and my mood is all over the place,” I said as we made our way to the living room. “I mean, I tried shaving my legs yesterday... I couldn’t and I cried and then I cried more because Edward offered to help me.” We all laughed together at the absurdity of the situation I had gone through. ”How are you? Are you ready for her to arrive?” Kristen said. “I am. I’m nervous; I’m not going to lie. I still have moments where I doubt I’m going to be a good mum, but most days I’m really excited about it,” I said, trying to explain all my feelings to them. “I still can’t believe you’re going to be a mum but I know you’re going to be a great one,” Brooklyn says.

“Thank you Brookie,” I said. At that moment I felt my baby kicking hard inside my belly. Feeling her move felt unreal but it always made me feel calm. Feeling her move meant she was alive and safe. “Are you okay?” Kristen asked, a concerned look in her eyes. “Yes, she’s moving,” I said, placing my hand where I had felt the kick. “Aww, may I? I want to feel her kick,” Brooklyn said. I nodded as I took Brooklyn’s hand and place it where mine was a minute before. My daughter was not having it though, because she was not moving anymore, at least not enough for my cousins to feel it. “Come on baby! Kick for auntie Kris and auntie Brookie,” Kristen said. I moved my hands to my mouth to cover myself as I tried not to laugh at my cousin making faces to a baby that couldn't see them yet. They spent the next 10 minutes talking to my baby, trying to make her kick. All the noise and my constant laughter must have woken her up because all of a sudden she started moving and kicking like crazy. ”She kicked!” Brooklyn shouted over an over again as Kristen moved her hand to place it next to Brooklyn’s. ”That’s crazy,” Kris said. A couple of minutes later, once the baby had calmed down again, we sat down in the living-room where we spent the rest of the afternoon telling each other stories, laughing, and catching up with each other’s lives. With all my sudden nervousness from my baby arriving soon, I truly needed time for myself and my cousins were exactly what I needed to relax and have a fun day.

Baby Shower ❤️

Anna pov: “Are you all ready?” Edward said as he taunted our guests with opening the box that would reveal whether our baby was going to be a boy or a girl. Edward and I have had multiple talks about our baby. We had agreed very early on that what we were having was not important to us. Neither of us wished for a particular sex and we would both imagine scenarios of us living and playing with a baby boy or a baby girl. There was something special about finding out though, and after Edward’s mum had asked us if we were planning on finding out, we both decided that we would do it, but with our families and closest friends by our side. We both knew we wouldn’t be living the lives that we had if it weren’t for our parents, and the idea of having the people we love the most next to us at that moment was something that I couldn’t let pass by. “YES!” all of our guests yelled as I turned to look at them. “Just do it already,” Thomas screamed. I turned to look at him and I saw my parents next to him, both already had tears in their eyes. “Okay, count down from five!” I said. As everyone started counting I turned to look at my husband. Ed had the biggest smile I have ever seen on his face. His happiness, making me smile even more than I already was. Three, two, one and we opened the box together. Pink balloons made an appearance in the room as our family and friends screamed in excitement. I couldn’t help but jumped in my place as I looked at the balloons. A girl, we were having a daughter. Before I realised it was going to happen, Edward had embraced me, lifting me and spinning me around. “A daughter, we are having a daughter! Thank you, thank you, I love you so much,” he kept saying in my ear as tears made their way down our cheeks, at some point merging before they could leave our faces. Our laughs filling the room as our families continue to clap, scream and laugh with us. When Edward put me down on the floor, I turned to look at the people I love. Everyone was so happy, and as I placed my hands on the small bump on my stomach, the last thought I had before I was embraced by my parents was “You’re so love already baby girl. We are waiting for you.”

“Thank you all so much for being part of this important moment in our lives. We can’t wait for our little girl to get here and I’m happy to know she will have so many people in her life that would care and love her. Love you all! 💗 ~ Anna

20 weeks bump 🐣😍

Hello everyone! Long time no see. I'm sorry for disappearing for so long. The truth is that I have been struggling with sims for a long time, not having enough motivation to go in game and post pictures and I often forget to post on Tumblr so this account is extremely behind in comparison to my instagram one.

I bought a new computer a little over a month ago. At first it killed my motivation completely since the processor turned out to not be compatible with sims 3, but thanks to the amazing people of this community I found a workaround to make it work and that has brought a bit of my motivation back, so I hope to start taking pictures again soon. In the meantime I'm going to concentrate on putting this account up to date.

I hope you're all doing well and thank you for all your support ♥️

Anna pov: It’s been a week since we found out I was pregnant. That day we had gone to my grandparents' house to celebrate Father’s Day. Keeping my pregnancy a secret was harder than I thought it would be, but Edward and I had decided to wait until after our first doctor's appointment to tell anyone. Sitting in the waiting room waiting for the results had been nerve-wracking. My thoughts going everywhere, but once we were called in and my doctor had congratulated us, my mind was at peace as Edward and I hugged, smiling at the future that had been confirmed. “Anna, if you could please lay down on the bed. We are going to do an ultrasound,” my doctor said. I simply nodded before I walked slowly towards the bed. The thought of seeing my baby for the first time made my heart skip a beat and as I undress I felt like I was in a dream. Nothing seemed real. I had dreamed about this moment before, during my sleepless nights as a teen, but this was nothing like what I had imagined. “Alright, here we go,” my doctor said. We stared at her as she looked closely towards the screen in front of her, pushing buttons as she carried out the exam. My hand was sweating, but I never let go of Edward’s hand as she explained to us how everything was normal. I was 8 weeks pregnant with our first baby. She turned the equipment towards us before explaining what we were seeing and that’s when I saw it for the first time. There, in the middle of the screen, was our little baby. My mouth opened at the same time I heard an intake of breath from behind me and my hand closed tightly around Edward’s. I could feel my own heart beating fast and hard in my chest as my eyes became wet. I wanted to turn around to look at Edward but my eyes were fixed on the screen. Our doctor pushed a few buttons and we heard it. The hard sound of a strong heartbeat filled the room, filling our hearts with so much love and happiness. The heartbeat made it feel real. It wasn’t just an image anymore, it was the purest form of life making an appearance for the first time. I truly had a little baby growing inside of me.

(I turned around to look at Edward, before closing my eyes and resting my head on his arm. I felt a tear hitting my cheek at the same time I felt him kiss my forehead, a soft “I love you” leaving his lips before he turned to look at the screen again. I could feel tears leaving my eyes and running freely down my cheeks. With Edward behind me, holding my hand in his and the heartbeat and image of our little gift in front of us, I could say that I had fallen in love for the second time in my life, a love so pure and perfect that would hold us together throughout our lives. We left the doctor's appointment with a new meaning in our lives. We were officially a family of three and that night, I fell asleep, my hand resting on top of Edward’s hand on my stomach, as images of a small baby with green eyes as bright as their dad’s, filled my mind and heart.

Hi everyone! It’s my first time creating animations and I’m quite happy with how it turned out. It’s not perfect, but it is quite special to see your characters actually moving and feeling. It makes them feel more real. I hope you like this video and story 💛

I’m going to give you updates on Zane, Brooklyn and Kristen’s lives. Starting with the youngest one, Zane: Nothing has change much for this little boy. He’s almost 6 now! And you know what that means 🙈 he’s made quite a few friends in kindergarten and he’s very excited to be a “big boy” and start primary school soon. Out of all his cousins, he has the best relationship with Lyra. Age difference is quite big between cousins 😅 So yeah, enjoy this picture of toddler Zane, because there’s only one left before he ages up. I want to thank @days.of.our.sims on instagram of creating this adorable pose for me. I was not expecting it at all and it melted my heart when she sent it to me 😭 You’re amazing Steph! I love you! 💛

Edward’s POV: Watching our families’ reactions to our news was overwhelming but incredibly exciting. Anna had started crying the moment we gave the news. I simply couldn’t stop smiling. I let go of Anna the moment her parents approached us. Anna hugged her mother tightly, while Fred came to hug me. “Congratulations son,” he said. Frederick had been calling me “son” for the last two years and I didn’t mind at all. He had always been like a father to me, and, in certain moments of my life, he had been the closest thing I had to a father figure. “Thank you, Dad,” I said, as he patted my back, before leaving my side to go hug Anna. “Edward!” I turned around just in time to catch my sister in my arms. “You’re going to be a dad! Are you excited?” “I think terrified would be more accurate,” I said, feeling my sister shaking with laugher. “But yes, I’m really excited,” I said, letting go of her so I could turn and look at my parents. My mother was asking Lyra if she was excited to be an aunt, a big smile on her face. My father was looking at me with an expression I couldn’t quite figure out. It looked like a mixture of pride and sadness. Not knowing what to say to him and noticing that Lyra had run towards Anna, I turned to face my mother first. “My boy,” she said before she hugged me. “When did you grow up so much?” I laughed, knowing that, to my mother, I was still her little boy, even though I found it hard to understand how she still saw me like that. “A while ago I think,” I said, noticing how my father looked down, something I knew he did every time someone would mention the past. Some scars never faded, we both knew that. “Congratulations darling. Your baby is so lucky to have you and Anna as parents,” my mum said. “Thank you, mum, I’m lucky to have you,” I said, finally letting her go to turn and look at my father. My mother caressed my cheek as she said she will go to see Anna, my sister quickly following behind her and I was left alone with my father. “Your mother was right, you know? You’re both going to be amazing parents,” he said. “I hope so, I’m still scared though. I don’t want to mess up,” I said.

Voicing my concerns to my father was something that I hadn’t planned on doing. While I was extremely excited to become a dad, I couldn’t ignore the fact that having a little life depending on me was scary. “You will learn how to do things together. No one is born knowing how to be a father. You had both good and bad examples and I’m really sorry about that. But if there’s something I know, is that you will do anything in your power to make sure that your child is the happiest one on earth.” “How do you know that?” I said, genuinely curious. “That’s just the way you are. You want everyone you love to be happy and I’m really proud of that,” he said. “Thank you, Dad,” I said before I found myself in his arms. Hugs from my dad were rare but I still appreciated every one of them. They showed me support and the love I hadn’t felt him give me while I was growing up. At that moment, I promised myself to hug my baby close any time I could or they asked for one. Growing up without a father’s love was not nice and I would make sure my baby knew nothing about how that feels like.

Anna Pov: I flushed the toilet before getting up from the floor and walking towards the sink to clean my mouth. It was Saturday; it’s been five days since we did our last exam, five days since we went out on a date to a restaurant and four days since I have been getting sick. At first, we thought it was a combination of exam nerves and eating out of the house but, as the days went by and I was not getting better, Edward started getting worried and we had agreed that if I was not better by Monday we would go to the hospital. I walked back to the bedroom to lie down in bed. It was 9 am; Ed had left for work almost two hours before I started feeling nauseous again. Once in bed I contemplated what I could do next, I was feeling alright, nausea had disappeared already, but I was scared of getting up only to get sick again. I didn’t have much to do in our bedroom, our only TV was downstairs in the living room, my computer was in the office and I simply didn’t want to move from my bed. Deciding the best thing I could do was read for a little while, I opened my nightstand drawer to grab my book when I noticed them, the pregnancy test Ed and I had bought a month ago, when we thought we would be buying a house we ended up not getting, was sitting at the back of the drawer. My first thought was to dismiss the idea. But I could feel my heart beating fast and strong on my chest, my hands sweating. I couldn’t be pregnant, could I? When Edward and I had talked about trying we had agreed that we would wait until we had bought a house, and that had only happened three days ago, but if I was being truthful with myself we hadn’t been particularly careful since the honeymoon. I grabbed the pregnancy test box trying to make up my mind about what I should do next. The idea of taking the pregnancy test was scary but exciting at the same time. The thought of this little stick changing our lives was too much for my mind to comprehend. No matter what though, I knew I couldn’t do it alone. The most important moments of my life had happened with Edward by my side, supporting and loving me, and this would be the most important moment of our lives.

I placed the box back on my nightstand, having already made the decision to wait for Edward to come back so we could take the test together, when I thought about what a special day the following day was. It was Father’s day. We had already made plans to go to my grandparents’ house for the day, but I couldn’t help imagine what a special first father’s day could be for Edward, I could picture the smile on his face over a positive pregnancy test and his shock expression once he realizes he can start celebrating the day not as a son, but as a father. Making the decision to wait until tomorrow, I grabbed the plushie we had bought during our honeymoon and lie down again, my head resting on the pillow as my hand unconsciously moved towards my stomach. The thought of a baby growing inside of me scared me but I was already filled with so much love for a baby I was not even sure existed. I closed my eyes, my hand drawing circles on my stomach as I hoped, prayed for tomorrow’s test to be positive, as I prayed for our lives to take another step forward and our family to start growing.
