Narrated by Anna

Life has been pretty hectic since Alex arrived. He's not a needy baby, but he does need some things, and it's not very easy to combine with school all the time.

 Bai helps out a lot, but he works during the day, so his parents try to help out as much as they can too.

Whenever Bethany is over, there's another one who needs attention. So on his days off, Bai tries to spend as much time with her as he can, since she's not with us all the time.

She's a really sweet kid, and I try to spend time with her as well, it's important for Bai that we get along.

In the mean time, I try to work really hard, I really want to get my diploma next year!

Most of the time I end up having to work at night. I don't want to miss out on anything with Alex, and I like spending time with Bethany, so nights are the only moments I have.

We are so lucky to live with Bai's parents, Chao and Wang are amazing! They help us with the kids, and we hardly ever had to think about getting dinner ready.

Although I hate having to depend on them, I think we might need them some more for the couple of years. I have been sick every morning for a couple of weeks, and since I've gone trhough it all before, I knew I was pregnant again.

It was Bai's job to tell his parents, something like an early Christmas present. Fortunatly they were pretty happy about it. They like being young grandparents.

 And you can see that they are enjoying the time they can spend with them. Even Wang spends time with Alex before he goes to work.

Chao felt really bad when she fell sick with the flu and the to take a lot of rest, and had to keep away from the children.

With Christmas almost here, I took some time to go toyshopping with Bai. We went totally crazy at Belio's Bunk, and bought a lot of things.

On Christmas day we were invited at my parents. They were happy to see Alex again, and mom couldn't get enough of him.

Benny and I were never really close, but I sometimes miss having him around, so I took some time to play chess with him, it was kind of fun.

When it was time for presents, mom and dad surprised both Benny and me with a laptop. They thought we could be need it for school.

Mom even gotten Bethany something, which was something Bai could really appreciate.

We of course had to tell them about the new baby arring in August. I can't say they were thrilled, but I wasn't either when I found out. Dad gave me a hug and told me that if we ever needed anything we should ask.

Extra:

Their livingroom after Christmas, Bai and Anna really did go crazy at Belio's Bunk. They also got Bethany a toy oven, but that's upstairs in her bedroom, I couldn't find a place to fit it in the livingroom.


Notes:

• I was pretty mad that I didn't put Anna on birth control when she gave bith to Alex, because this baby is consieved the day Alex was born! I didn't think it was realistic when I posted Alex' birth and announced in the same post that he was going to get a little borther or sister, so I froze Anna's pregnancy untill now. Like she said herself, this baby is due for August 2020.
• I made a mistake with the Zang Family, I said that Tosca was due in August 2020, but she's actually due a month earlier, so baby #4 for Tosca and Xun is due in July 2020.
• This was this round's last update. To finish I'll have my very first round summary, this one will be up in 2 days, and then I'm ready for round 11!
