A growing baby bump:
Rainbow playing with her chicks, in her pajamas, while the ground is frozen. During her pregnancy, she must have run very hot, because she took to wearing inappropriate clothing for the weather.
In her old age, Ralston finally got a playmate: Rainbow adopted Ted, who is a giant Schnauzer.
They just checked one another out, at first, but were fast friends.
The house is starting to feel a little bit small, with two dogs and two Sims. Here's Rainbow, on her way to the garden, undeterred by the weather.
Their numbers are slowly increasing. It was around this time that Rainbow reached level ten of gardening. She's still around level five of the career, but once she has steady harvests of Glow Orbs, she will reach the top in no time.
Hexahedrite... hmm... Howardite... no. Winonaite... Winonaite... Ben! What do you think of that?
I had her queued to go to the hospital, but then, on second thought, cancelled it and sent her home in a taxi. I don't usually do home births, but it felt very "Rainbow."
Winona got put into more appropriate attire for the weather, and the family went to the Winter Festival. This was a terrible idea on my part. I don't know if this save has ever lagged as badly. It was laggy all winter, which is maybe why this week felt so slow-paced—the snow really does my laptop in. I'm really beginning to regret leaving it on.
Winonaite is a beautiful child. I think the black hair is a genetic glitch, because no one in her family tree has it, but I'm going to pretend she inherited it from her Auntie Pink.
As the week's last development, Ben began furiously cloning Tiberium. I had him do twenty-two copies.
You can't tell very well from the next picture, but on the upper floor of Rainbow's greenhouse, there's now a "Tiberium garden," where the spires are sitting until they grow.
Once they're all sold, the Stones should have about a million Simoleans—a housing expansion is definitely in the family's future!
Ralston became an elder. It makes me so sad, the way elder dogs lay down to eat their food.

Holiday lights went up just in time for the first snow:

Tending her Glow Orbs.

Rainbow and Ben had been going through baby names, but nothing stuck. Until, on a whim, Rainbow cracked open a book on space rocks.
She went into labor at the day spa...
I had her queued to go to the hospital, but then, on second thought, cancelled it and sent her home in a taxi. I don't usually do home births, but it felt very "Rainbow."
I recently learned—did you know, if a Sim has a baby at home, the mother will start off as friends with the infant? Versus, with a hospital birth, the two will only be acquaintances. Such a great, small detail, and part of why I love this game—that there are still new little things to notice after over a decade.
Ben, unfortunately, missed out on the birth of his child (and the moodlet, which was strange! I've never had that happen before). He was at the library, and so close to maxing Science that I just didn't think it was worth it to send him all the way home. He become acquainted with her later.
Soon, it was time for Winonaite's birthday. Rainbow donned a very elegant gown for the occasion. I have no idea where it came from, and never assigned it to her as an outfit.
One last baby snuggle.
The first one, this dynasty, to get a proper cake.

She's quite adorable, in her star-patterned jammies.
