Write a sentence, a paragraph, or more about your family! I will give you prompts for each round and you can decide how much detail to provide.
Round 7:
Two years have gone by, and the family has welcomed a new baby (or babies) to the family! Was this pregnancy expected? How did the family choose the name for the new baby (or babies), and did the kids have any input? The other kids are now 9, 6, 5, and 2. Are they developing any hobbies or discovering new talents? Your couple celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary this year--did they do anything special?
The baby's gender and name are your choice.
Optional: This pregnancy resulted in multiples! Instead of a singleton, the family has twins or triplets! If you choose multiples, they are all the same gender (you choose whether or not they're identical). Their names are all somehow related (you choose how).

Welcome Iwan! Iwan was a bit of a surprise baby, to be honest, though no one in the family is complaining. His first name is Welsh, and his middle name is Dutch, switching around the typical order of the children’s names. Di is doing much better in school now, and loves to play sports. She’s trying to convince her mother to let her play football with the boys. Sam is still a very quiet girl; she likes reading, and is already ahead of the other students as far as reading level goes. Elian has started preschool, so far he’s doing fine. Pascal and Bronwen are celebrating their tenth anniversary next year, and they are considering taking a nice trip somewhere and having Pascal’s parents look after the kids for a bit.

Two years after her difficult pregnancy and birth experience with Matilda, Jess has given birth to twin girls! Luckily, this pregnancy went without any complications, and she managed to carry the girls to full term. During the pregnancy, Jess and Felix had polled the kids, asking them to give two names that started with the same letter, and Violet’s suggestion of Elizabeth and Evangeline had won. Violet has a best friend named Elizabeth, and she thinks Evangeline is the prettiest name in the world.
Meanwhile, Annabelle is in third grade, Violet in first, and Jasper in kindergarten. Annabelle loves to sing and knows Ariana Grande’s entire discography by heart. Violet is an artist and is most content when she’s coloring in her coloring books or finger painting. Jasper is into sports, especially soccer; he’s on a kids’ soccer league and is very good at playing. Matilda is still developing, but she loves to play games with her brother, sisters, and parents.

Sasha and Misha are just sick of all the girls in the house! Esmeralda gave birth to fraternal twin girl, Carina and Marita. Their nicknames, Cara and Mia, translate to "my beloved." Esmeralda and Sasha still yearn for another boy, so more children may be in their future.
As for the older children, Nani has taken an interest in the school's junior theatre group. She even got to play Juliet in the modern take on Romeo and Juliet. Flora is beginning to blossom as well. She has recently been praised on her excellent memory. She excels in spelling bees and memory games. Misha enjoys sports, but he has found his calling in baseball, specifically. Stella is just beginning to string sentences together, and her babbling of her siblings' names is just adorable! She calls them, "Nanani", "Forla", "Meecha", "Cawa" and "Mima", repectively.

Life couldn't have been going any better for the Lovejoys; three out of four children are at primary school and all growing into beautiful young people, Stefan is on target for another promotion at work and with some time on her hands, Anya has written her first epic novel; plus Stefan and Anya are more in love than ever! Maybe a little too in love...
On the school run one morning, Anya finds herself all hot and bothered and feeling awfully nauseous, Octavia's worried but Anya reassures her eldest daughter and puts it down to a bad night's sleep. Until the next day, when it happens again. But again Anya dismisses it as nothing. The following day Anya is physically sick before leaving the house and again after returning from dropping off the kids. Her sister, Ellie, suggests she takes a pregnancy test. Anya humours her expecting a negative result - so when two pink lines appear she's knocked for six!
Stefan is shocked but assures Anya they will cope (it's about time he converted the attic into a bedroom anyway) that is until, a midwife proudly announces Anya is expecting fraternal twins at their 10 week scan. Now it's panic stations!
Life for the Lovejoys descends into chaos over the next few months; Reuben's old baby gear has to be hauled out of the loft; a second set of certain items has to be purchased; the attic is cleaned, insulated, plastered and moulded into a perfect girly haven while Octavia's old room is remade for twins and Reuben finally has his cot moved out of Anya and Stefan's room and into a redecorated (and vacated) Eve's bedroom. Through all this change and upheaval, Anya is so immensely proud of Octavia who takes up the slack on her young shoulders, helping to get the younger three ready for school and nursery, and taking on some of the bathing and bedtime duties.
Before the "double bombshell", much had already changed amongst the Lovejoy children. Parker started lashing out at nursery, he would come home and start fights with Evie and push Reuben around then be found crying and pulling out his hair face-down in Octavia's beanbag collection.

The past two years have been a bit of a mixed bag for the Fairchilds. On the one hand; Max, Will and Josie are all in school, Fabian and Eleanor celebrated their anniversary at a fancy hotel in Scotland, and welcomed two new arrivals as well. On the other, Bea was diagnosed with moderate cerebral palsy and will nearly always need a walker or a wheelchair, Will is pretty unhappy at school, and the pregnancy took a fair bit out of Eleanor in conjunction with caring for four children. Although they'd never admit it, both Fabian and Eleanor were quite happy with four kids - Ivan and Gil had been total accidents, but they weren't any the less delighted when Eleanor found out. They both desperately needed the weekend away up north. They left the kids with Eleanor's parents, and spent the time simply relaxing and remembering why they fell in love, and when they returned felt they could face anything life threw at them. John, always a bright boy who loved words (especially in class, when the teacher was talking, much to their frustration) has found a passion for writing in all forms, after finally realising that he would probably never make the football team. Will's still not taken to sports very much, and prefers to spend his time reading and practising his violin, a fact which earns him a lot of teasing at school. Josie, on the other hand, has already proven herself to be a very athletic kid, winning almost every race at her Primary 1 sports day!

After two years of sticking with 4 kids, Alice and Henry have welcomed yet again another child! Even though the family where not expecting another child, they have welcomed him into open hands. However, Henry is hoping that this will be the last child for a while, if not forever. Lily, as the eldest child, choose the name Ollie for the little boy, and, with advice from Henry and Alice, Rose, Jack and Daisy choose the middle name Thomas.
Now 9, Lily is definitely an artist to be. Her skills are obvious, and she loves helping Daisy paint blobs of colour. Rose, who is now 6, is showing plenty of talent in sport, although you can't be sure of a gift until the child is at least 8. And Jack, who has recently started school, can already read as well as some 7 year olds, and he is only 5! You can't really see much about Daisy, of course, but Lily is hoping that she will be another arty one. Now, for Henry and Alice's 10th wedding anniversary, they hired a baby sitter for the evening and went out for an Italian dinner. They enjoyed it very much, and Lily didn't want to go to bed, she adored the baby sitter, Nicole, so much. Alice and Henry have started planning another dinner out soon, so that Lily can see Nicole again!

Kaia was not joking when she told Bennett shortly after Lula's birth that she was done. Even when none of her pregnancies was planned once she found out shortly after Lula's second birthday that she was pregnant again she had a full blown meltdown. It took her weeks to come to terms with the news and the fact that she was carrying twins did not help the situation. It wasn't that she did not want another child, she wouldn't mind having a dozen of them, but after the complications with her last pregnancy which resulted in emergency c-section she was worried that she might not make it through another one. Seeing how worried and stressed Kaia was, Bennett decided to book a trip to Hawaii for the two of them for their tenth anniversary. They spent two beautiful weeks in paradise without their kids, giving them plenty of time to discuss everything and relax a little. Once they came back home they sat down with Kaia's doctor and she explained that while there was increased risk that Kaia will develop pre-eclampsia again there was higher possibility that she simply won't develop it and will have another uneventful pregnancy. This calmed Kaia down a little and she started to look forward to welcome two new members of their family. Bennett always joked that you need six to make a hockey team and now they were really going to have those six kids, something that was unthinkable for Kaia after she was diagnosed with endometrioses in her early twenties.
Their identical twin girls Adeline Elisa and Antonia Molly, who have been immediately nicknamed to Delia and Anya, were born all healthy and perfect at 38 weeks and 3 days. As both girls were breech Kaia had to have another c-section but this time planned so it has been way better experience for her.

Dominic and Taylor were quite happy with their four children, but they weren't 100% sure that they were don with children. They were discussing adding another baby to the family in another few years as they wanted a bit of an age gap. So they were both surprised to find out that Taylor were expecting their fifth baby, and that the baby would be born only two years after Oliver. At an ultrasound later on in the pregnancy they found out that they weren't just having a fifth child, they were also having a sixth! Taylor gave birth to identical twin girls, named Louisa and Matilda. They wanted their names to match, without it being too obvious. So they chosed two classic names, that both have a 'battle/war' meaning, and middle names starting with E.
The older kids didn't have any say in their new siblings names, and they think it's a bit confusing with baby Louisa and dog Louie, so the kids have already given the twins nicknames - Lula and Tilly.

Dominic and Taylor were quite happy with their four children, but they weren't 100% sure that they were don with children. They were discussing adding another baby to the family in another few years as they wanted a bit of an age gap.

Jon and Katie welcomed their fifth child, Mary, to the family this year. Her big sister Bekah was so excited about her arrival because she has wanted a sister since Benji was born (and 2 years is a long time for a five year old). Katie and Jon chose Mary's name to be a biblical first name, like their other children and they chose "Joy" as her middle name because it was a virtue name like Bekah's middle name. Jon and Katie went out for a romantic dinner for their tenth wedding anniversary. Originally, Jon had planned a weekend getaway for them, but Katie was eight months pregnant on their anniversary and didn't want to go too far from home. Of note, Max, the family's black lab, passed away this year at the ripe old age of 12. Eli and Isaiah were so upset that he died. They've been begging for another dog (who they're planning to name "Max 2.0"), but Katie is too busy with Benji and Mary to consider adding a new dog just yet.
