HelpRe: Build-A-Family (All-in-one)
in reply to a message by Melissa
Round One: Wow! Everything is all happening at once. I only just got married and, after our honeymood in Paris, we moved house AND I found out I am pregnant! Good Job our new house is big enough! I had the first ultrasound this week, it was amazing! It was really emotional though, too. I can't wait to be a Mum!
Nine Months Later
Round Two: Welcome, baby Harvey Elliott, our beautiful son! He is so amazing and really cute! He has dark hair like Liam and blue eyes like me, but I think his eyes will change as he gets older. We had all the grandparents over to visit last week which was great but also SO tiring, as if it wasn't enough with a new baby! Also we got a tabby cat, called Molly, from the local animal shelter. Harvey loves to watch her and they are already getting on great!
1 1/2 Years Later
Round Three: We have adopted a little sister for Harvey! It's the baby of my little sister's friend, who wanted to have her baby adopted by someone close by - so we offered! Her name is Rosalie Jade. She is so beautiful: blonde hair and brown eyes. Also, I am pregnant again! With TRIPLETS! Things are going to be busy here - Harvey is walking and starting to talk and Rosie is such a handful. We are moving house soon too, because there just isn't enough room here. Our new house is quite a while away from here, but closer to Liam's parents which is nice, but it does mean that I have to leave all my friends behind.

The triplets have arrived! Say hello to Anna Rowena, Amy Summer & Alexander Jack.
Three Years Later
Round Four:
Harvey is 4 1/2 and in school and just started school. Rosie is 3 3/4 and the triplets are 3. Something terrible has happened recently though, my brother-in-law has gone missing, we think he might have been murdered or something. My sister has taken it really badly and has had to go to a special counselling hospital, and so we have got custody of their little boys: Ethan Daniel, age 6 and Matthew Lewis who is only a few months old. It has been really hard to look after Ethan, he is always asking me questions about what's happened to his parents and I have tried to explain but I don't want to upset him. Harvey is coping OK with it, I think he is a little young to properly understand - and we didn't see my sister often because they lived far away - so he didn't know his Uncle well. Last week was the funeral, it was horrible, I was trying to look after the 7 kids, and I was very emotional too. I hope everything works out alright.
Four Years Later
Round Five:
Well, it's been a tough few years, my sister comitted suicide, so we had full custody of her boys and also my grandmother died which was very upsetting. However, I think everything is OK now. Harvey is doing very well in school, he is quite bright and loves playing sports like basketball, which is his favourite. The triplets are quite naughty at school, especially Amy. But they seem to be learning fine, so I'm not worried at the moment. Rosie is in the same year at their school and is doing great, she does seem quite quiet and reserved. Ethan is doing alright at school, but I can tell that he has been very affected by his parent's deaths - he doesn't have many friends and doesn't really speak much, except to Harvey, Alex and Matthew. Those 4 boys seem to get on great! Matthew started school this year and is doing great. We also have another cat, a boy this time, called Harry. I hope him and Molly don't end up with little baby kittens - but that's unlikely because I think Molly is to old now. Both cats get on great with the kids.
And just when I thought everything was settling down, I found out that I was pregnant again - not triplets this time though, luckily! Just one baby, a little girl. Her name is Sophia Raine. She was born by caesarean, because she was in breech position and I think she may have been a little premature and she is quite small. She looks a lot like Amy and Anna, with dark hair and hazel eyes. She is very cute! I'm a bit worried that maybe she won't get enough attention, with 7 other kids to contend with but she seems to be coping fine. She is quite a quiet baby.

Round Six:
We have been under a lot of stress lately, what with 8 kids and 2 pets to look after - and a lot of career and work problems. Liam had a bad spell of stress problems so we went on holiday to give him some time to relax. We decided to visit his cousins in Australia, and we had a great time! The kids loved it, especially the triplets because Liam's cousins have a daughter the same age. We had the best time, swimming in the sea, watching the sunsets - it was amazing!
