Happy Birthday to me! 26 years old now. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

I think I’ll celebrate with ramen and video games.<\/p>\n

\"bandicam<\/a>Naturally, Lydia picked the most rational and responsible way to celebrate her good health – getting pregnant.<\/p>\n

Turns out getting sick wasn’t enough, now she had the stress of making a new baby to sap her strength.<\/p>\n

At least her health wasn’t declining quite the way it does when she’s sick, so I suppose that’s a consolation.<\/p>\n

Her pregnancy proceeded as normal but I was starting to feel bad for Aidan, staying by the tree all by himself. I led him to the others and he and a trio of other norns left the island with him by taking the boat back to the tree. Lydia, Bobby and David seemed thrilled to see him! There was a lot of kissing, at least.<\/p>\n

As they took the boat (again) to the island, Lydia prepared to lay her next egg and I took the peace as an opportunity to feed Opal. She was always obedient at feeding time but she rarely took the initiative to feed herself.<\/p>\n

\"bandicam<\/a>Finally, with everyone in relatively good health (Lydia still sat at a precarious 41%) I figured it might be a good time to introduce another baby. This little guy is Danny, one of the eggs saved from before the “soft reset”.<\/p>\n

I love seeing happy faces on babies. He smiled for a while, too! Carrots and toys quickly became his favorite thing and he didn’t spend too much time out of the house.<\/p>\n

I spent some time fighting with Lydia to get her to eat some food but I thought it might be time to move on. Her health was down to 30% but she might have been at the end of her rope. Perhaps she’d prefer to go down on an empty stomach?<\/p>\n

\"bandicam<\/a>Aidan meanwhile, slapped Cassy and Opal in the lowest level of the island and was chased off when the girls decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. He’d lost his game in his old age. Bobby spent his time hanging out with a sea horse instead. Can’t say I blame him with all that commotion downstairs.<\/p>\n

Finally, when I wasn’t looking, Lydia ate again and her health started to slwoly rise. Perhaps she had more life in her than I first thought?<\/p>\n
