Loooook, new furniture! Yes, that really is the most exciting thing that has been happening around here. Welcome back to the Hyde Alphebetacy.
But with any luck there will be more exciting things happening soon! Beside a plate of burnt waffles, Summer Hyde discovers she is pregnant. Hooray! Dorrogon instantly rolls the wish for a girl, and since I am playing 'no wish left behind', they'll either have to have a girl NOW or more children LATER. :D
Summer announces to Dorrogon that she is having a baby. His face really says it all.
I didn't take any pictures of the pregnancy cos I was slack, so here's Summer in labour.
Summer: *makes gorilla face* The shower is glitching my haaaaaair!
I make Summer give birth at home because I'm too lazy to take her to the hospital. She labours in the bathroom while Dorrogon paints obliviously next door.

And welcome the first baby of Generation 1, the 'A' Generation! The baby is a boy, and his traits are Heavy Sleeper and Neurotic. I name him Armando, after my cousin.
Armando Hyde, ladies and gentlemen and variations thereupon. Since all cocoon babies look the same, we'll have a closer look at his features when he ages into a toddler. For now, all we can tell about him is that he appears to have his mother's skintone, and possibly her hair.
Now that she's done being pregnant, Summer takes up new hobbies. She feed babies...
And plays guitars. Looking good, Summer!
Summer: What you're not showing is the screaming baby and stamping husband in the corner of the room.
No, I kid, I kid. I'm not THAT bad a simmer. But maybe we should challenge my mad skillz some more. Baby time!
Summer: Again?!

Summer: Again?!
Yes, again. I have a plan - my founders will have six children, the next generation will have five, and so on, until one generation will only have two children, then the next will have two again, the generation after that will have three, etc. It seems like a perfectly reasonable plan to me now... but we'll see how well I stick to it as the generations progress.
Hooray, baby time! Dorrogon still has that wish locked in for a girl, so let's hope for a pink SimCocoon this time.
Ooh, there's clearly some kind of psychic connection between my founders. Painting on the left is Summer's, right is Dorrogon's. The island is complete! Win.
Summer: Argh! This baby is stinky and glitching his hand through my dress! Do not want!
Nah, she loves him really.
Summer: *straight-faced* Yes. Yes of course... -_-
Summer: *straight-faced* Yes. Yes of course... -_-
And of course our resident perfectionist does more than caring for babies. Having fun, Summer?
Summer: No. It's wet and I'm pregnant and shouldn't my husband be doing this?
Yeah, but he's conked out in the bed. NOT that I'm a bad simmer or anything! ...doo de doo de doo... Luckily for me, with a neat sim and a neurotic perfectionist in the same house people are always autonomously cleaning the mess I created. Hooray!

Summer: Dirty dishes are unhygenic. *glares*
Yeah, well, at least I don't waddle. Hahaha... geddit? Okay, that was terrible. My jokes are terrible.

Dorrogon: *snores* Mmm, beheaded unicorns... zzzzz...
Sorry, I just thought we hadn't seen him in a while. Now you can see why he gets no facetime.

Summer: ZOMG, if someone left the sink on it could flood the whole house!
Ah, neurotic sims. Gotta love 'em.
Ah, neurotic sims. Gotta love 'em.
Ah, Summer? You're in the stove.
Summer: Yeah, sorry. Being pregnant makes me glitchy.
Summer: Yeah, sorry. Being pregnant makes me glitchy.
Wow, Dorrogon, are you actually playing with the baby for the first time since he was born?
Dorrogon: Why yes, yes I am. He's actually rather sweet. Arncho, wittle Armandokins? Daddy wuvs woo.
Ugh. I despise baby talk.
Dorrogon: Why yes, yes I am. He's actually rather sweet. Arncho, wittle Armandokins? Daddy wuvs woo.
Ugh. I despise baby talk.
Look, the creepy psychic paintings are complete! On one side of the desert island is a creepy tower, on the other side are some palm trees. Weird place.
Wahay, what's up? More glitching?
Summer: Nooo! Labooooour! Oooooooow!
The pain only makes her cross-eyed, so it can't be that bad. Home birth. And I'm going to leave it till next time to find out the gender and name of the baby, heh heh. Aren't I mean? (Hint: not really) So, next time on the Hyde Alphebetacy, look forward to meeting our newest Hyde, and also see Armando become a toddler. Hooray! Catch all those things and more in CHAPTER FOUR. And don't forget to COMMENT!
