simsterlyrock | Harding Baby Boomers

Because I am incapable of not starting new challenges and I really want another medal on Boolprop (and I'll get two-for-one for finishing my first challenge AND doing the Baby Boom challenge!), I've decided to attempt the Boolprop Baby Boom challenge. The goal is to have two sims have 12 girls and 12 boys. It'll be a lot of babies, but I'm also really excited.

These are my lucky Sims who get to have 24+ kids, Jordan and Jefferson Harding. I'd like to think that they were high school sweethearts who both came from small families and wanted to have their own brood of children. They're both Family sims and Jordan's LTW is to have 3 grandchildren, while Jefferson wants to graduate 2 kids from college. I don't see either of those happening since I don't have plans to play the kids after they age up and move out.

As for extra bonuses, I'm going to be going for Not The B's! meaning that all the kids will have B names. I'm going to try and do names from my favorite books/movies/TV shows, so we'll see if I can come up with enough. It also means some of the names will be weird since I read a lot of fantasy. I'm also going for Family Gallery (have a painted portrait of each child), Wishacy (try to fulfill as many wants as possible), FamilyShare! (upload the parents and all the kids) and then obviously StoryShare! for sharing my story here and posting it to Boolprop as well.

Jordan and Jefferson will eventually be living in a fully built version of this house, but they can only afford the main floor right now, so they get to treasure digging before the ground gets too hard from the snow. They're living in Riverblossom Hills because I've never really used that 'hood and I want to try a new place.

As soon as the paper arrives, Jefferson looks for a job. He takes the highest paying one, which happens to be in Medical.

Then Jefferson and Jordan head inside to do some skilling in the warm house. It may not have wallpaper or windows, but it's got a roof at least!

That night, it's time to try for the first baby! We don't have time to waste, after all. XD

Throwing up the morning after woohooing is a sure sign that a nooboo is on the way.

Jordan makes some breakfast for herself once Jefferson is off at work.

Before too long, the first baby is officially on the way!

Jefferson comes home with a promotion on his second day of work, which is awesome. I'm hoping that they can earn enough during the week to finish the walls of the house. Wallpaper and windows can come later, but I at least want all the rooms built as soon as possible.

It's almost time for the first baby!

Jefferson has the day off, so he spends some time skilling for his next promotion while Jordan works on a painting. Hopefully she'll quickly get high enough in her skill to be able to make more than a few bucks per painting.

Before too long, it's time for the first baby to get here!

Make that babies. Say hello to Blanche (from Jane Eyre) and Bellatrix (from Harry Potter).

Jordan puts the twins down in their new cribs and then she and Jefferson instantly try for the next baby. XD

Jordan is feeling tired (I wonder why? ;) ), so Jefferson helps her feed the twins after she changes their diapers and takes a nap at 9 in the morning.

Jordan and Jefferson both rolled the want to study Parenting after the birth of the twins,
so they sit down and do that.

Second baby is on the way!

Jefferson is very slowly making his way up the ranks of Medical.

Even though he gets home late, he isn't tired yet so he spends some time skilling for his next promotion before finally crawling into bed for a few hours before work.
