[name_u]Carmen[/name_u] [name_f]Lilimae[/name_f] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m] (nb) is Isabella’s daughter, who was born via C-section early in the morning. The aforementioned strong support system of family and friends did excited await the arrival and were extremely supportive of [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] when it was time for [name_u]Carmen[/name_u] to be born. [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] is grateful for them and their gifts, especially given her desire not to break her budget while also giving a good early life for [name_u]Carmen[/name_u]. [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_u]Michael[/name_u] are happy she is here and healthy, and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] is anxious to go back to her teaching career but also to welcome [name_u]Carmen[/name_u] and enjoy maternity leave.

She has a great budget and she tries to keep herself focused within zen and relaxation. She will be on maternity leave soon but she’s ready for what will happen in terms of motherhood.

She’s also taking a parenting class to prepare herself for what it will be like when she becomes a parent. She keeps a journal of her experiences in pregnancy.

[Lindseylloyd052399]

[name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u] [name_m]Miner[/name_m] (nb) is Cacia’s baby girl. The day arrived when Cacia’s little bundle of joy was ready to make her grand entrance into the world. It was a serene morning, with a gentle breeze stirring the trees outside the hospital. [name_f]Cacia[/name_f] had been practicing her breathing techniques, diligently applying the lessons she had learned in her yoga classes and parenting class.

As she arrived at the hospital, [name_f]Cacia[/name_f] felt a sense of calm and readiness. Surrounded by her supportive partner and a team of caring medical professionals, she knew she was in safe hands. The room was adorned with soft pastel colors, soothing music playing in the background, creating a peaceful atmosphere for both mom and baby.

With each contraction, [name_f]Cacia[/name_f] focused on her breathing, channeling her inner strength and remaining positive throughout the process. The hours passed, and as the sun began to set, it was time for [name_f]Luna[/name_f] to make her grand debut.

With a final push, [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u] [name_m]Miner[/name_m] entered the world, filling the room with a sense of pure joy and love. [name_f]Cacia[/name_f] held her precious daughter in her arms for the first time, overwhelmed with a wave of emotions. Luna’s tiny fingers grasped her mom’s, creating an unbreakable bond from the very first moment they touched.

As [name_f]Cacia[/name_f] gazed into Luna’s eyes, she knew that her journey into motherhood was just beginning. She was filled with gratitude for the experience, knowing that even though it may not always be the most relaxing, it would be an incredible adventure filled with love, laughter, and growth for both her and [name_f]Luna[/name_f].

[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m] (29) is a driven and ambitious woman, eagerly awaiting the arrival of her baby girl. She is a successful businesswoman, known for her strong work ethic and determination. [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] manages a thriving marketing firm, where she effortlessly balances her professional and personal life.

Despite her busy schedule, [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] has always been diligent about taking care of herself, both physically and mentally. She believes in the power of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle, especially during her pregnancy. [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] is an avid runner and has continued to run throughout her pregnancy, with the approval of her healthcare provider, of course.

Sophia’s excitement for welcoming her baby girl is palpable. She envisions a future where she can be a loving mother and inspire her daughter to navigate the world fearlessly, just as she has done throughout her successful career. With her resilience, determination, and commitment to self-care, [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] is more than ready to embark on this thrilling journey of motherhood.

[kitkatcookie]

[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] " [name_f]Anya[/name_f] " [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m] is Sophia’s daughter, born at home following a 14 hour labour. This was agreed on by her mother long in advance, during a consultation with her midwife. In part, it was because [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] showed signs of having an early delivery [given how she was progressing in pregnancy], and decreasing her stress was paramount, especially as this is her first child. While [name_f]Anya[/name_f] did end up arriving the day before her due date, there were no health complications or concerns, and she settled very quickly into a life of naps and being fawned over by just about everyone who meets her.

[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] opted for IVF to have her daughter - being single at the time she realised she wanted to become a parent - and while some were uncertain it would be compatible with her career, she’s got a wealth of support in her family, who’ve helped ensure her business is going strong without [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] running herself ragged. Her best friend also recently became a mother - now having a 4-month-old son - so they’ve been hanging out a lot in the maternity hue, and joke about setting their kids up to date someday. While she briefly wondered how she might feel in regards to dating, now [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] has [name_f]Anya[/name_f] that’s just a blip on the horizon with how she adores her little girl.

[name_f]Ziva[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] Pitchlynn (28) is expecting her first child. Although it wasn’t planned by any means, [name_f]Ziva[/name_f] and her boyfriend have been together for 6 years - living together for 4 - and it’s very much been a change they’ve adapted well to. [name_u]An[/name_u] irony is they got their 2 bedroom apartment by accident [an administration error led to them ending up with extra space - not that they complain between pet supplies and their assorted stuff], so Ziva’s now heard everyone insist this was fate down the line. Of course, the bigger concern is how their Chow - Barnacle - is going to handle a tiny human in the house, thanks to how he’s basked in being the centre of attention for several years now, so finger’s crossed to sharing the spotlight.

Throughout pregnancy, Ziva’s continued entwining her Choctaw heritage with her partner’s Gaelic, and they’re going to honour both with their daughters’ name. While they didn’t want a gender reveal, it ended up happening during a scan when [name_f]Ziva[/name_f] impulsively decided to ask, as she’d started to worry about the planning process for everyone. Not that there’ll be any reveal parties…or forrest fires which seem to come hand-in-hand with these events. As she works as an interior designer and furniture renovator, the change has been a bit of a shock, so nursery planning has spared [name_f]Ziva[/name_f] going stir crazy…and she just had to get as much information as possible to ensure everything’s perfect for the impending arrival.

[jinxed_peach]

[name_f]Maebh[/name_f] [name_f]Fala[/name_f] Pitchlynn is [name_f]Ziva[/name_f] and her partner’s newborn baby girl. Her birth was calm and smooth thanks to her mother’s excessive planning. Thankfully she’s been pretty much just as calm at home as she was when she entered this world. Barnacle has been adjusting pretty well! He was a little confused at first at what exactly the little pink, strange smelling, squishy, little puppy they brought home was. Though he’s figured out now that [name_f]Maebh[/name_f] is a part of his pack just like his owners and he’s decided to protect her just as fiercely as he protects them.

When [name_f]Maebh[/name_f] is napping in her nursery he’s often found sleeping outside her door. As [name_f]Ziva[/name_f] feeds the baby on the couch Barnacle is right beside them both and licking the newborns tiny feet. [name_f]Ziva[/name_f] and her partner are relived to see that their dog as accepted their baby into the family and the four are now living pretty harmoniously, except when [name_f]Maebh[/name_f] is waking them all up with her shrill cries in the middle of the night. And of course Barnacle is right beside them both too when that happens.

[name_f]Xiomara[/name_f] ’ Xio ’ [name_u]Marie[/name_u] Lopez [27] is a former surf instructor who’s expecting her first child with her wife, [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]. The pair met about ten years ago at a surfing competition when they were both competing. [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] asked to borrow some wax for her board from Xio and the rest is history. The pair is pretty nervous about welcoming their little one into the world. As of right now they’re living on a houseboat that’s parked in the marina close to the beach where Xio taught her lessons before she went on maternity leave. It’s been a great home for the both of them, but they’re worried it’s too cramped for three.

However there’s the added problem that the women are incredibly attached to their home on the sea. They’ve been living there together since they were eighteen and aren’t ready to let it go. The plan that they want to go with is to keep the houseboat and put it in storage to use for family vacations with their baby once they’re actually here and a little older, but move into a nearby apartment by the beach. Problem is, that’s a pretty expensive plan. Friends and family have been chipping in but between the price itself and the baby bills, it might be looking like Xio and [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] will be staying put on the water with their child at least for the first few months of their life.

[cara_murvolio]

[name_f]Rocío[/name_f] ’ [name_f]Rosey[/name_f] ’ [name_u]Fern[/name_u] Lopez-Bellview is the newborn daughter of Xio and [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]. Although she sadly wasn’t born on the boat itself - which would’ve made for a pretty incredible story - Rosey’s shown no qualms at this being her current home, easily resting and never showing signs of sea sickness. The fact she’s currently in a very placid state also helps her mothers’ with any concerns they might have, as they’re not dealing with an excitable toddler who wants to explore - although the beach is somewhere Xio and [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] have agreed [name_f]Rosey[/name_f] will be spending a lot of time once she’s a little older, as they hope to encourage her in sharing a love of water.

[name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Catharine[/name_f] Manders (31) is pregnant with her second child, a little sibling for her 2-year-old daughter, [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] ’ [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] ’ [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] Manders, nicknamed given how she loves emulating twittering. Technically, they’re going to be half-siblings, as [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] was born to Zara’s ex- a colleague, who she went through a fairly messy breakup with (as he was casually dating another person at the time and didn’t want to become a father given what changes it would thrust upon his life) - and her second child has been conceived through IVF using an anonymous donor.

In spite of having gone through several changes - moving house, as well as starting a new job in telecommunications management and having to deal with her exes immaturity - Zara’s not been overwhelmed by the prospect of motherhood once more. With the support of her parents, younger brother and close friends, she and [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] have managed just fine without her ex doing anything other than paying child support, and what’s important to her is that her daughter always has someone close, as that sense of abandonment is a concern to [name_f]Zara[/name_f].

[CherryBomb50]

[name_f]Diana[/name_f] ‘ [name_u]Dani[/name_u] ’ [name_f]Lise[/name_f] Manders (nb) is Zara’s daughter and Birdie’s (half-)sister! She was born in the afternoon after some tiring early labour symptoms which was a little more nerve-wracking than the actual labour part. [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] was overjoyed to know [name_u]Dani[/name_u] and jovial for [name_f]Zara[/name_f] having another sweet little girl in the house, one [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] can call “sis”. [name_f]Zara[/name_f] told her family when [name_u]Dani[/name_u] was coming and they’re happy to welcome her into the family.

[name_u]Skye[/name_u] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Yarrow[/name_u] (31) is a single mother-to-be who’s excited to take motherhood into her life. She lives on a houseboat and loves the wide and open sea. [name_u]Skye[/name_u] knew this pregnancy wasn’t just seasickness – she’s way too used to the ocean by now. She’s never done any birthing before but done a lot of berthing. She enjoys the life on a boat but it’s soon time to pull into the doc to await her new little sailor. For now, she’s enjoying living on her giant “water home”, looking out on deck and living the boat life until her last pregnancy weeks until she moves with her sister in her apartment for a short time being until going to the hospital to give birth. As much as she’d love to give birth on the boat, it just isn’t practical and she has a sense of respect for the boat, not wanting to ruin her experience for the baby or the boat. Like many sailors, [name_u]Skye[/name_u] named her boat – “Golden Pearls”, and refers to her boat as a “she”. However [name_u]Skye[/name_u] is always welcome for whatever gender she’s going to deliver and after the birth, hopes to make memories with her new baby on [name_u]Golden[/name_u] Pearls.

[jinxed_peach]

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_u]Yarrow[/name_u] is Skye’s newborn daughter. Her middle name is of course after her ‘other baby’ as Skye’s sister often jokingly calls the boat, though her middle name has an oceanic significance as well with [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] meaning ‘daughter of the sea’ which [name_u]Skye[/name_u] feels is very fitting. Though she has not gone back to living on the boat she’s taken little day trips just to sit on the boat in the harbor. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] always sleeps super soundly on these little trips which of course [name_u]Skye[/name_u] attributes to the calming rock of the boat and the ‘general soothing atmosphere’ that she’s said helped her get to sleep many nights in the past. Though for now it’s mostly just diapers and naps, [name_u]Skye[/name_u] looks forward to the future when [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] can truly enjoy time on the boat with her mother.

[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] ’ [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] ’ [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_u]Campbell[/name_u] [27] is an author who used to write fictional love stories but has recently been popping up in most people’s feeds for her autobiographical memoir entitled Down The Drain that entails her life over the chaotic last few months of her life. It was a very sudden project as it went from first draft to hitting the shelves in just six months. [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] was motivated to get this passion project out by the flames of rage that resided in her heart. She came home one day to find her husband in bed with another woman. Eventually finding out that he had been cheating on her since they had been first married five years ago. She flew into a rage and screamed at them both while trashing their shared apartment. The title of her book was actually a quote pulled from her rant “I can’t believe you could do this to me, to us! [name_m]Five[/name_m] years, all down the drain!” After a painful divorce she was ready to move on, until she found out that she was pregnant.

Thankfully due to having a great lawyer, she’s ensured that her husband won’t be able to have anything to do with her or her baby. This is a big part what generated the conversation around her and her new books since some people find her decision to cut her ex out of her life completely to be ‘too extreme’ and ‘cruel punishment for a simple mistake.’ Though [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] stands by her choice. She doesn’t have much time to worry about internet comments these days anyways, her due date was yesterday and she’s beyond ready to meet her little one. “They’re the best gift from the worst person” she said in an interview promoting her book.

[Lindseylloyd052399]

[name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_u]Campbell[/name_u] (nb) was born after a long and strenuous labor. [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] had chosen to have a natural birth and had been determined to bring her baby into the world without any interventions. After several hours of intense contractions and Freddie’s unwavering determination, [name_u]Harper[/name_u] finally arrived, healthy and full of life. The delivery room was filled with a mix of emotions, as [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] experienced both immense joy at the arrival of her little one and a lingering sadness over the circumstances that had led to her pregnancy.

[name_u]Freddie[/name_u] held [name_u]Harper[/name_u] in her arms for the first time, feeling an overwhelming sense of love and protectiveness. It was in that moment that she knew without a doubt that her baby would be her driving force to create a beautiful life for both of them, free from the pain of the past. Despite the unconventional circumstances surrounding Harper’s conception, [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] saw her daughter as a true blessing, a symbol of new beginnings and a reminder of her own strength and resilience.

As [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] embraced motherhood, she vowed to be the best parent she could be, showering [name_u]Harper[/name_u] with love, support, and unwavering protection. [name_u]Harper[/name_u] would grow up in a home filled with love and happiness, surrounded by Freddie’s supportive family and friends who admired her strength and determination. Together, [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] and [name_u]Harper[/name_u] would embark on a journey of healing, growth, and endless possibilities, leaving the past in the rearview mirror as they created a brighter future for themselves.

She holds a healthy baby [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] in her arms for the first time, a good feeling for both, while [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] peacefully naps. [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] is just opening her eyes to the world but connections are being felt between her and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], and that’s all [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] can ask for at this time.

[name_f]Oliviana[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Thomasine[/name_f] (32) is a business rival of [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] but their similar names are “just a coincidence.” She’s still an empowered woman and feels the same about [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], but isn’t afraid to get real competitive in designing. She likes feeling completely casual, like she can try to relax when she can about her pregnancy. She has a black lab named [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] who is her best friend, despite also having many friends of her own. She may have to have a C-section, which she’s nervous about, but her friends reassure her the best. [name_f]Oliviana[/name_f] has taken parenting classes and even used a baby simulator but still hasn’t thought much about having her own pregnancy until she looked into the possibility of conceiving one - and was surprised when it happened much faster than expected. She’s overjoyed however, and wants her child to feel as welcome into the world as she feels in terms of excitement for her baby.

[name_u]Ayu[/name_u] [name_m]Haneul[/name_m] [name_m]Smith[/name_m] (NB) is Seraphina’s son, also born via C-section and he was very healthy and strong at birth. He resembles [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] more than the father, who is only from Nigerian descent. [name_u]Ayu[/name_u] has more relation to his father in the genetic field; such as with blood type, body frame, and conditions such as partial deafness - all inherited from his father. [name_u]Ayu[/name_u] isn’t quite perfect and neither are his parents, but they’re ready to enjoy him into their lives. Since the aforementioned childbirth education classes, support groups, and other expectant mothers; [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] feels more at ease raising him and keeps these resources available.

[name_f]Jennis[/name_f] tends to get more hungry than usual during pregnancy but also tends to get full and sick faster as well. [name_f]Jennis[/name_f] wasn’t the best at trying to conceive but once she knew when her best time was, she felt really good about herself when conception happened. She works for a pharmacy and she’s perceived the pregnancy/baby aisle much differently since becoming pregnant. Her nursery is filled with handmade items and is gender-neutral. All set to go for the baby!

[name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] " [name_m]Link[/name_m] " [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] Rainey-Whit is [name_f]Jennis[/name_f] and her partners’ son, the absolute apple of their eyes. With his middle name honouring his maternal family, [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] comes from his paternal great-grandmother, it being her maiden name. Link’s dad lived with his grandma while attending college - as he couldn’t afford accommodation on top of studying fees - and her kindness allowed him to excel as a football coach, who now works at a prominent university. To the surprise of no-one, he’s absolutely adored by his parents and extended family, having already received a great deal of gifts, something [name_f]Jennis[/name_f] jokes about with her friends - but everyone can see how delighted she is about her son’s reception.

[name_f]Cherie[/name_f] Suon [Khem] Loftson (35) is expecting for the first time: G/G twins! This is something Cherie’s been anxiously awaiting for several years. She and her husband married when they were 30, but they dated 5 years before this, and children were always something they hoped to have together. At the time the couple conceived, [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] was considering going through IVF, feeling a great deal of anxiety about not being able to achieve her dream. She’s someone who very much believes in putting on a brave face and hates to complain, being an optimist to a fault, something her husband tries to dissuade her from, so she isn’t burning herself out emotionally.

Something [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] and her husband are clear about is that their daughters’ middle names will pay tribute to her Cambodian heritage. Cherie’s a third generation immigrant, who’s always kept closely associated with her culture, and wishes to keep this going for her children. The other biggest adjustment for her has been going on leave from her job as an optician, as [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] loves her work and one of her best friend’s is her colleague. As of now, she’s trying to adopt hobbies, but only scrapbooking seems to be sticking…

When [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] found out she was pregnant for the first time, she obviously wanted to tell her best friend, and [name_f]Danica[/name_f] quickly revealed “I’m pregnant too!”. Hadley’s baby is due two weeks before Danica’s, and it’s a girl. [name_f]Danica[/name_f] has chosen the gender to be a surprise.
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] would like the name to be a very pretty vintage name with a cute nickname. The middle name should honor [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] or [name_u]Charles[/name_u] [name_u]Adrian[/name_u].
[name_f]Danica[/name_f] wants the name to go along with the theme she already has; a nature themed first name and a classic middle name.

[name_f]Kamila[/name_f] [name_f]Fatima[/name_f] [name_u]Patel[/name_u] (27) is a hardworking businesswoman who is currently 7 months pregnant with her first child. She grew up in a small town in [name_f]India[/name_f] and moved to the United States to pursue her dream of starting her own beauty brand. After years of hard work and dedication, she has successfully built a thriving company.

[name_f]Kamila[/name_f] is married to her high school sweetheart, [name_m]Aayan[/name_m], and they are both excited to welcome their baby girl into the world.

She has been experiencing a healthy and positive pregnancy so far, and is looking forward to motherhood with a sense of calm confidence. She hopes to instill her values of hard work, perseverance, and kindness in her child.

[name_m]Shaurya[/name_m] [name_f]Kimaya[/name_f] [name_u]Patel[/name_u] is [name_f]Kamila[/name_f] and Aayan’s daughter, who was born 4 days before her given due date. Thankfully, the couple had been prepared by their midwife and the hospital [name_m]Shaurya[/name_m] was delivered at for this potentially happening, meaning they were able to get there in safe time and Kamila’s labour passed without complication; although she’s jokingly claimed she’s going to need at least 10 years to think over having another baby, given the pain.

There was a great outpouring of joy - not just within their family, but the local community - at the arrival of [name_m]Shaurya[/name_m]. It was a little overwhelming for [name_m]Aayan[/name_m], but [name_f]Kamila[/name_f] helped ease him into this reaction, and the couple are so pleased that so much positivity has embraced their daughter immediately. Aayan’s younger sister is their go-to-babysitter for follow up doctor’s appointments, as Kamila’s small hips mean further checks were recommended to ensure she wouldn’t need physiotherapy. Thankfully, it hasn’t been required by her, and settling into life as parents is able to take up their time!
