Welcome back all! I’ve been steadily plugging away at the fashion career while Tomas has been promoted to “C-Lister”! (lv. 3). He’s gradually rising through the ranks of his career as well-now if only he’d actually help more around the house, but that’s an issue for another day. Onward!

Our little Elijah aged up to a “sensitive” infant. I secretly had a paternity test done and Shannon is the father. He called me up and asked me on a date the other day. Of course I said “no” but maybe he should be in Elijah’s life… He did say he wants to be his father but Tomas has agreed to be regardless of paternity status… What am I saying, of course he doesn’t need to be involved…

My boss, Randolph Pancakes dropped by our house. I’ve definitely gotta schmooze more with him, so I indulged him in a cloud gazing session. Turns out he’s not as bad as everyone makes him out to be. C’mon promotion!

See! This is what I’m talking about! Our house is so nasty that Fisher feels compelled to scrub our tubs! I don’t mind that Tomas is Vegan, and his creativity is what made me fall for him to begin with but his slovenly nature is truly abhorrent! Plus we have a kid and one on the way! My squeamishness doesn’t help at all either! :X So gross! Thanks Bro, I owe you a bunch!

To top things off, I’m as big as a whale! Seriously?! I better not be having twins!! I really wish I’d put off having children but this is all worth it, right?? How am I going to juggle my career that I’d wanted since I was a teenager with domesticity? I’m going stir-crazy to boot!

As much as I rag on Tomas, he is pretty handy; I hate handiness, so this works out just fine! He’s also decided he enjoys gardening and painting. I really should give him more credit… I do love him!

Tomas and Liam have become best buds recently! This is great because I was starting to worry about Tomas’ lack of friends. My hope is that he, Fisher, and Liam form a friend group or something.

That Thursday, I went into labor while seated at the kitchen table. Tomas assumed the typical fatherly panic, while I reassured him I’m fine and don’t need anything yet…

It’s go time! Let me tell ya, this one took A LOT out of me!

Introducing Ellie Grove-Landgraab to the family! She was born at 6:29 a.m. Welcome little one! Dad’s turn to tend to the baby!

And he’s absolutely smitten! Wonderful. <3

The perfect time to get back into the grind and lose all that baby fat!
Ciao for now,
Hazel
