Thanks for your comments. It made me really happy to read them.
Bashful is Born When Snow White wasn't at work, her main focus became improving her cooking skill. Harry was always painting.
Snow White tried to trade kitchen secrets with her boss and co-workers so she could learn more recipes, but none of them were natural cooks! Sometimes they had something to teach her, and sometimes they didn't. At least she got to know them better when she invited them over. Before long, she became best friends with all of them.
Snow White also made sure to spend the necessary time every day maintaining her garden.
Snow White and Harry began to feel the time ticking away. They decided that they should go ahead and have a kid, so that they could be around for as much of their child's life as possible.
They had to try for a baby 5 times, but they didn't mind at all
By the next evening, Snow White was showing her pregnancy and put on maternity leave. She figured while she was on maternity leave, she would try to make some money while having fun at the same time. You might think this would be hard to do, but Snow White found ways. In the picture below she is dancing at The Brightmore, which she was paid to do. I guess all the movement caused her to go into labor, because right after the picture was taken she started making painful noises and expressions.
She had to come back and finish her dancing time after the baby was born. Since she wasn't pregnant anymore, she made sure to sample the drinks while she was there.
On the way out, she met a very strange looking paparazzi.
She was also paid to go try a drink at The Prosper Room, which was absolutely delicious.
But I skipped the most important part, the birth! Here she is carrying her new baby, Bashful Dwarf, home from the hospital. I also included an overhead picture of him in his crib, which was taken later.
Bashful's first traits are loner and artistic. Hopefully he can take over for Harry since Harry won't be around forever. *sniff* The real trick is going to be getting someone to do Bashful's elder portrait. The adult portrait might be difficult as well.
Shortly after Bashful's birth, Harry managed to maximize his painting skill. Between the money made from selling what he had already painted at the consignment shop, and the money that Snow White made from doing odd jobs while on maternity leave, they managed to upgrade their bed and bathroom, get some stereos, and move their place indoors.
They even gave Bashful his own room in hopes that he would be happier by himself. Apparently, babies are too young to be loners, though. Also, they seem to be more needy than previous sim babies, and need at least 5 snuggles to fill up their social bar. They built a basement to start their immortal museum, and Harry painted a picture of Snow White to put in it. Snow White also took a picture of Harry. They're not sure yet how the museum will eventually look, but it would be nice to put pictures of the spouses next to their immortals. Snow White took a picture of Harry and they added this to the museum, also.
Harry began his next task of figuring out how to take good pictures. During the end of Snow White's maternity leave, he went around town, taking all sorts of pictures. He doesn't have many ideas for more pictures at the moment, and he only has his photography skill up to 5. Hopefully he can think of some more. Not being able to travel and having no community garden limits the possibilities.
So far, Snow White has accomplished:
Unique Lifetime Reward: Super Green Thumb
Unique Best Friends: Odine Perry, Alexy Fresco, Harry Dwarf, Wayne Bumble
BlackOps: Grape-Aid, Excellence You Can Taste
Portraits: young adult
