♥Braindump+12 week pregnancy update♥

 Hello everyone!

Sorry for my absence, but this time it wasn't intentional. I had plenty of blog posts planned for the other week. Still, one day my Internet decided to stop working, and we couldn't figure out why. After some digging, we found out that another Internet provider did the dumbest thing you can possibly do: cut the Internet cable that provides Internet to the whole neighborhood.

When the Internet went down, everybody in my family was scrambling for a solution because both of my nephews, who are 15 and 10 years old, are big-time gamers, so they were screaming 5 minutes after the Internet went down. I thought I would struggle with having no Internet More than I actually did.

My real-life husband also struggled a lot because we both watch a lot of TV series on almost all of the streaming services you could possibly think of. The fact that he couldn't watch episodes from his favorite TV series Wilson was bothering him the most because he couldn't play games on his phone, what's the most frustrating thing.

My husband plays about 10 to 15 games on his phone simultaneously. No, I'm not kidding.

He has actually made quite a name for himself in the gaming circuit.

Before he and I met, he was about three months away from signing a contract with one of the biggest e-sport teams back then, but life took him elsewhere.

Do I consider myself a gamer?

Well, I don't really know to be honest. I do enjoy many shooting games, but there are not many I can do due to my disability.

I am 10-12 hours a day in second life, but I don't see Second Life as a game, so I don't know.

Have I ever tried The Sims?

Yes, and I will NEVER EVER get the point of that game whatsoever. It's like having a Tamagotchi.

Tamagotchi came out in 1996. It's basically like having a pet. You have to feed it, bathe it, clean up after it, and so on. this is how I see The Sims, and I don't see the point.

Unless something huge happens with The Sims, I will never ever play it.

It feels like my brain has been going the 1000 mph; lately, there is so much I want to do, so much I want to accomplish, And there's so much I want to achieve when it comes to my blog and second life, of course.

At the moment, I'm just trying to slow myself down, and I'm trying to make myself let things take time and understand that it does not have to be done in 15 minutes.

I have always believed that they don't work for me when the time is right, So I just have to let things take time, Even though it's frustrating.

12 weeks pregnant today♥

If there is one thing that seems to be flying by, it's my pregnancy!

The one thing I DON'T want to fly by.

one thing is for sure I am soaking up every second of it

In my last blog post, I talked about the feeling of wanting to be covered up. As far as clothing goes, I still feel that way, but not as much as I did before.

In the mornings in second life, I can find myself laying in bed, stroking my belly and just thinking about what it will be like when he or she is finally here.

Last week, I finally got the baby's last bits and pieces, including a stroller!

I was going around second life looking at high chairs, strollers, and baby carriers.

I had so much fun doing it. 

My second life husband could not come with me because he had rl work, but I sent him photos of the stroller to see which one he liked the best. 

We don't know the gender yet, so I was trying to pick unisex colors.

                                                                                  His Favorite

                                                                            My Favorite

After seeing it in a store, I also bought a highchair. The store is called Sweet Penelope. They specialize in clothing and accessories for Zooby Babies.

I only finished decorating the house yesterday. I feel like I have been nesting so much the past month up until now. The land and the house is a house you can choose from if you are a premium member of second life. When it comes to the premium SecondLife homes, you only get 351 prims with them. That is ridiculously no for the furniture that is in second life nowadays. I'm really hoping they will change that at some point.

I will try to explain as best I can for those who aren't familiar with the term prims connected with furniture in second life.

 

say you are renting a place in second life. Let's say that please cost around 1000 lindens a week to rent, so every week you go to your rental box and you pay for another week or another two weeks or whatever.

With that rental, you have, let's say, about 1000 prims. Once you have reached 1000 prints on your rental, you can't put down more furniture. you can take away furniture to put down other furniture, but you can't go over 1000 prims. For example, you have a bed that is 20 prims that will take away 20 prims from your original 1000 prims.

I hope that makes sense.

I don't know how I did it, but I managed to decorate my entire house with my stuff and the baby stuff plus the outside, and I still have over 100 prims left.

I'm going to brag a little bit here because to do a completed decorated house, including furniture for a baby, on a 351 Prims total, it's pretty damn good.

When the baby comes, she or he will take up about 50 prims. I never thought I could pull off living with all this furniture that I would need for the baby, including my stuff and most notably including the baby, in a second life premium home.

What will be tricky is that what Andrew clothing you put on the baby will add two of your baby's prims!

Say you want to put a shirt on me. That shirt is 8 prims, which will make your baby 58 prims in total.

I don't know why the creators decided to do this because it wasn't like this before, and I just think that clothing that will add prims to your baby it's totally ridiculous to me.

so I will have to be really careful in choosing what clothing I put on the baby to be able to stay in the premium home.

the clothing thing it's absolutely crazy. I don't understand why you would put prims on baby clothing!?

I'm really hoping it will change.

With my mind being so"hyper" now, I decided to pop over to Essencia Hotel just for a few hours today. I have a standing room there; after all, why not use it?

As always, as soon as I opened the door to my room, the calmness I felt when I first stepped into the hotel washed over me.

The 12-week baby-bump photo comes to you from the Essencia Hotel beach! Don't worry, I didn't take the jet ski out to the dock; I swam. I can finally see a little baby-bump start forming; I'm so excited!

I can't wait to share more photos!

Thank you to everyone who keeps up with me and supports me. It really means the world to me.
