Harding Baby Boomers | Part Ten
Mar. 30th, 2018 07:37 am
Welcome back to the Harding Baby Boomers! Last time, Jordan gave birth to Beth, Boromir, Belle, and Berúthiel, meaning that we're super close to actually finishing this challenge. Or at least having the required number of each gender. There were also a lot of birthdays and some of the older kids moved out, like usual.
Current Household:
Jefferson Harding, dad
Jordan Harding, mom
Barb Harding, girl 7/12
Birgit Harding, girl 8/12
Bianca, girl 9/12
Bilbo, boy 7/12
Bill, boy 8/12
Beth, girl 10/12
Boromir, boy 9/12
Belle, girl 11/12
Berúthiel, girl 12/12


Things are crazy with the quads. As you can see, one likes to run away as Jefferson is taking care of the other. They're never still. XD

They're cute though!

The older kids always do their homework as soon as they get home from school. Not by choice, sadly. I always make them do it. I don't want them to fail school and get taken away.

Birthday time for Birgit and Barb!


Birgit has an interesting clothing choice (outerwear as your everyday? really?) but Barb looks good!


Neither of them is happy about missing college, however.

And because two birthdays isn't enough, it's also birthday time for the quads!

That is the wrong way to age up your child, Jordan. Poor Berúthiel!

The only boy, Boromir.

My personal favorite since she's named after my favorite Disney princess, Belle.

And finally Beth, who is also named after a favorite character and therefore a favorite.


I don't know why Barb decided to wake up at three in the morning, but she checked on Boromir before going downstairs and playing the piano.

Baby time!

First up is Bartemius (from Harry Potter).

Second baby is Bev (from IT).

And finally, Barliman (from Lord of the Rings). We just need one more boy and we have all the kids we need! One more pregnancy, Jordan. You've got this.

And then it's time to work on the adult portraits of Birgit and Barb so they can move out.

By the end of the day, the portraits are done!

Barb managed to max out creativity at the last second.

Bye, girls! You'll be missed.


Time to get started on that last pregnancy! Assuming Jordan has a boy, that is.



I'd completely forgot that I'd given them a hot tub, so Jordan and Jefferson have some fun while the kids are at school.

But Jordan has to jump out of the hot tub to throw up. A sure sign that she's pregnant again.

Later that night, it's time for the triplets to age up, starting with Barliman.

Next is Bartemius.

And the last one is Bev.

Final pregnancy is confirmed!


Jordan is still slowly working on her LTW of eating 75 Grilled Cheeses. I'm literally making her eat two at each meal even though she's not hungry because I just want to finish and see what her new LTW will be.


Time for Bill and Bilbo to age up!

Bilbo rolled Knowledge, and I forgot to check his and Bill's LTWs. Whoops.

Bill is Popularity.

Second pop!

I'm going to attempt to teach the triplets all their skills, starting with Barliman.

Another maxed skill!

Just in time, too. It's Bianca's birthday!

For once, it's not a terrible outfit. I actually like that dress.

The birthday party gets interrupted by Jordan going into labor.

And it's a boy named Barney (from How I Met Your Mother). And that means we're now at 12 boys and 12 girls (well, technically 13) so I just need to get all the kids to adulthood and I'm done!



Teamwork is the best way to try and skill the toddlers.

Belle plays so much chess with Beth that she managed to max Logic before she's even halfway through the child stage.


All that teamwork paid off, because Barliman learned to talk and Bev learned to walk!

Bianca helps teach Bev how to talk while Jefferson works on her portrait.

Before too long, he's done with it! The line of portraits is coming along nicely.


One last snuggle to celebrate teaching her baby sister how to talk, and then Bianca moves out.


I was hoping for a money bonus, especially since Jefferson has all his skills maxed. But at least he didn't get fired.

Barliman is now successfully potty trained, which means he's the third Harding kid to be learn all his skills as a toddler.

Actually, this might be where Belle maxed logic. I think the earlier picture was just me showing the kids doing stuff.

Time for the triplets to age up!

Barliman is up first.

Then Bev.

And finally Bartemius!

Once everyone is in bed, Jordan makes herself a couple grilled cheese sandwiches before going to bed. She's so close to having eaten 75. I think she just needs four more.
Next time...probably lots of birthdays and more grilled cheese eating for Jordan. I'll probably make Jefferson quit his job and have Jordan get a job as well so that she can try and earn some more points for me. Now I just have to successfully age up all the kids, so I'm not too worried.
