Checo and Tessa went to the park to try to knock out two challenges at once. Tessa worked on making new friends, and Checo worked on yet another possible gold badge: fishing. I think he’s at silver right now. He caught some big fish!
Checo met Stephen Tinker at the park and shared the exciting news about Lisa’s pregnancy. Stephen shared what had happened to Wanda after her latest pregnancy, giving Checo a whole lot to think about.
Meanwhile, Tessa was just cute.
Lisa came home from work with a promotion and a bad case of nausea. This baby is being kind of rough on her. She’s very glad that her boss agreed to give her maternity leave before starting her new position. Working the night shift while pregnant would be exhausting!
Lisa told Checo all her good news from work. He decided to let her know what was on his mind after his chat with Stephen Tinker at the park.
Checo: …and it just got me worrying. You and Wanda are the same age. If she had such a tough time, what if you have trouble with your pregnancy too? I don’t want anything to happen to you.
Lisa: I’ve been thinking about that too. That’s why I’m taking my maternity leave a bit earlier than I did with Tessa. I’m not taking any risks with this baby.
Checo: *scooting close and wrapping an arm around her* I’ll do anything I can to keep you happy, my love.
Fittingly enough, Lisa had her first pop shortly after that conversation. Checo is so excited for the new baby.
Tessa is also excited for her new sibling.
Lisa spends a lot of time either lounging or sleeping on the couch. The baby is wearing her out!
Checo spent some time at the business, getting it up to level 7. He also had a chance to talk with Wanda Tinker for a few minutes. He let her know that he was glad she was feeling better.
On Monday, it was time for Tessa’s birthday party. Lisa invited the Tinkers and the Kims, since Tess is friends with their kids.
Melody actually came from college for the party. Lisa admired her new grown up look.
Tessa is still super excited to be a big sister.
Just a cute side note - Lisa and Tessa currently have the same jammies. :)
Checo and Lisa are more in love than ever. Seriously, if I leave them to their own devices, this is what they do. I love it!
It’s a girl! Meet Carmen Ramirez, named for Lisa’s mother. It seems like Tessa was named for Checo’s mother, Theresa, so the tradition continues. I think she’s going to be adorable. :)
Checo and Tessa are both super excited to meet little Carmen. Yay!
Sorry this didn’t go up with the end of the round. I had it in drafts and forgot to finish it! I hope you all enjoyed the Ramirez round. I certainly did. Look below the cut for a few background details and my thoughts on what happened.
The Ramirezes are generally an easy family to play, especially after the chaos of the Tinker house. We only managed two of the three challenges this time, though, because I failed to throw a roof raising party for Tessa. (Whoops!) On the bright side, Checo did meet the extra challenge of getting fit again, and we did have baby Carmen, so I think that makes up for it.
I love how Tessa grew up, and I love her homework face. She really is a gorgeous sim. I’m already matchmaking Tess and Justin Kim. He is going to grow up when I get to his family this round, and I think the two of them would be good together. They both love their dogs. I can see them with a dog training business maybe. We’ll see what happens with attractions and aspirations and such, I guess.
I really don’t know why Checo couldn’t earn a gold fishing badge. I tried to look up how long it takes (or how many fish, or whatever requirements there might be) but couldn’t find any info. It could be a mod conflict, or some other game glitch. I’m not terribly worried. I just kind of wish I had used all the time he spent fishing to do something else. Ah well. At least I have 47 pictures of him fishing in various locations.
I feel like there’s always just a little story tucked into the Ramirez round. I liked writing the conversation between Checo and Lisa about her pregnancy. I want to do more with their friendship with the Tinkers next time around. Maybe a double date? Tessa could babysit. 🙂
I’m eager to see baby Carmen grow up. I think she is going to be lovely, just like her sister. I’m also excited to see how Tessa really does as a big sister.
The Ramirezes are just a fun family to play. I love them a lot. Hopefully we will see them around town a lot for the rest of the round. In the meantime, the Larsons are up next, and I’m planning on adding something to their mini-challenge to make them a bit more...exciting. I haven’t started playing them yet, but I’ll let you know when I have posts queued up again. In the meantime, thanks again for reading and for all the likes and comments. See you soon!
