Vale Melody Pandora, Baby 36

Me with Melody's father, Channing Mims.  He was an alien in disguise!  I had already had a baby with him but with his alien powers he seduced me again and got me pregnant again, breaking one of my rules.
Me stuffing my face with blueberry bagels whilst pregnant with Melody.
Going into labour!
Melody Pandora was born moments after her sister River Venus.  I have never mentioned this before, but they are named after River Song/Melody Pond, fitting with their alien heritage.  
River and Melody taking their first steps.
Melody as a toddler.  She had the Angelic trait, with my hair and eye colours!
Hugo, River and Melody being cheerful (the only of my children of which there are three full siblings).
Angelic Melody being held by big brother Owen.
Playing with big bro Rhys.
Blowing out the birthday candles!

Making messes.
Twin selfie!
Another birthday for Mel!
Melody as a teen!  She gained the Outgoing trait and the Party Animal aspiration. 
With Hugo.
Melody (quite unwell here) was always trying to gain the attention of this evil bloke Advik.
Melody's 18th!
Melody as a young adult.  She gained the Dance Machine, Compassionate, Mediator and Responsible traits, and remains my only child to date to have earned three extra traits upon aging up to a young adult.  She got a job in Social Media.
Playing with little sister Ottilie.
Apparently this toddler book was shocking.
Melody moved out with siblings Hugo and River.
Melody's little half brother Finn is also half-alien, so they were able to do their secret alien greeting!
Melody enjoying the Harvestfest meal that Harry made.
New Years selfie with mama!

Welcome to the Jungle

Our home for the next few days - Selvadorada!
Harry mixing some drinks.
Zoe, me, Elliot and Harry hanging out in the bar in town.
Well hello there, father material.
More potential father materials?
Harry chatting up this Selvadoradan chick. 
Elliot, having the aspiration of Archaeology Scholar, is up bright and early to go exploring.
He stops by the market to grab some essentials.
Check out his tough look.
Wait, you didn't think you were going without Mummy, did you?  I'm at peak physical fitness, I can hack away at these vines with my bare hands!
Elliot: "Really, Mum?  It looks like you could use a hand."
Hey, that's the place we're staying!
His first dig!
Breathtaking waterfalls and ruins.
Great scenery. 
We explored well into the night.
Rest time! 
He emerges...
We then received news that Baby 35, River Venus, had passed away.
Zoe.
Trying to get this bloke to casually impregnate me.
Kids at the museum.
Darby contemplating art.
Esme grimacing? 
Beckett!
Back home I'm making bouquets for my young adults.
Oh hey Zoe, guess what? Mama is pregnant! (Yep, it's to the Selvadoradian bloke, Dylan!)
Beckett is sick again!
And it's Christmas again. 
Elliot (looking unwell), Harry, Esme (inside Harry's legs) and Zoe decorating the tree.
Me and the tree.
Vomiting, my favourite part of pregnancy.
Who knew you could work out whilst pregnant?
Harry's portrait!
Chatting with my current oldest at home.
I'm using my new ice cream machine for the first time.
Foolproof, really.
A treat for the kiddos!
Zoe takes a bowl.
And is amazed!
Brain freeze for Darby!
Beckett enjoys his cone by the pool.
Esme makes a lovely face.
But realises how delicious it is.
Mama clearly is enjoying herself.
Elliot and the magical cone.
Foodie Harry lovin' the smell.
Another bouquet complete!
Uh oh, Zoe has found herself on fire!  She was extinguished momentarily though (phew).
 Esme is pumped for Christmas!
And everyone was tucked in.

*WITH HALF AN HOUR LEFT OF 2018, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!*
