The Oceanside Project: Winchester
"That's So Sadie!"
Warnings: Sadie Freaking Winchester! Excessive exclamation points!
Day One
Hiya! I'm Sadie Winchester, the coolest sim in Oceanside. You're probably wondering why I'm talking directly to you and not through some weird 3rd party voice from Watcher knows where. Well I'm the only sim that's in touch with the Watcher. I can hear her in my brain. And yes, the Watcher is definitely a her. And she has a potty mouth.
Anyways, I really want to be the town's first police officer but since no one has tried to steal anything soon-to-be Mayor Malcolm Landgraab won't invest in a police force. So I'm stuck with being a firefighter, which is ok I guess. At least I'll be busy since there's a fire around here practically everyday!
My traits are: Easily Impressed (what does that mean?) - Excitable (Yippee!) - Inappropriate (Huh?) - Unstable (now wait just a minute!) - Brave (darn tootin'!)
Day one started with a pretty bad rain storm. The best part about all of this rain - lots of puddles to splash in! What fun!!
Then I saw this cute little stripey cat coming into my yard. Isn't is adorable? I love animals. Maybe I can adopt this little guy!
I tried to pet him but he started growling and peed on me! It was horrible!
It sprayed all over my pink jumpsuit and I was super stinky. Stupid stinky cat!
I quickly washed all the stink off of me. How embarrassing!
I secretly hope my enemies Selena Firestone and Minka Yomoshoto get peed on by Stinky Cat. I know the Watcher will be angry that I'm thinking this way but I can't help it. They're so mean to me!
I was waiting around for my pal Brodie Mason, the usual mail carrier, to stop by to deliver the mail but this guy showed up instead. I guess today is Brodie's day off?
I'm always thinking about getting married and starting a family. I decided tonight I would pop the question to my boyfriend architect Fitz Biltmore! Shhh, it's a surprise. Don't tell him!
Darn! I guess I'll try again later.
Then, all of a sudden, tragedy struck! A lightning bolt hit my favorite snowboard and it caught on fire!
Look at my face. You see that determination! That fire didn't stand a chance against Sadie Winchester. That's why I'm going to be the most awesome firefighter ever!
Fighting fire sure does make you smelly! A relaxing bubble bath with my friend Bucky the Ducky helps a lot!
It's time to call up my baby bear Fitz and invite him to a Dream Date! Unfortunately there isn't a fancy restaurant or anything to take him to. I'm so nervous about proposing!
There's my Fitzy-Bear! Isn't he the cutest thing!? He always looks terrified to see me. I haven't the faintest idea why!
My buddy Becca Goodacre stopped by but I couldn't really talk. It was all about Fitz today!
I have always worried that Fitz didn't want to tie the knot, but during this date I got the distinct impression that he felt the same way!
I'm not a very good cook but hopefully I can butter him up with Mac & Cheese and kisses.
Then I brought out the big guns...
I was super scared he would turn me down but he didn't! Sadie Winchester and Fitz Biltmore are officially engaged!
Later we head to the couch for some ~romance~. Let's start working on dem baybies!
Boy, that Watcher sure does have a potty mouth!
Fitz and I wanted to make sure it worked so we moved to my boudoir for more ~romance~.
Hey, where did that music come from?
Day Two
The next day I woke up really early. I felt super nauseous and had to run to the bathroom.
I almost didn't make it in time! I'm pretty sure the nausea isn't because of bad Mac & Cheese! I'm going to be a mom!!
Luckily Fitzy-poo spent the night and I could tell him the happy news! He's going to be a dad! We're super stoked!
Upchuck #2! Yes Watcher, I am excited about throwing up. Everything about pregnancy is awesome!!! ^.^
Even though I'm pregnant I still have to do my part for society. Today I officially become a Firefighter!
I still have plenty of time before work and soccer is my fav sport so I try to squeeze in shooting a few balls before I have to go.
I'm so rad!
Don't I look spiffy in my Firefighter uniform?! I try to grab a bite to eat before work but...
OhmyWatcher how embarrassing!!! Face first in the Mac & Cheese!
Thank goodness for Noeleen's honking! I almost missed my ride!
Luckily there weren't any fires but I was so tired all day...
that I passed out on my front lawn! Double-Super embarrassing!!!
Practically the whole neighborhood saw me. I'm so ashamed! What if they thought I was drunk on nectar or something?
When I finally woke up I had to run staight to the potty to throw up again! Pregnancy doesn't seem all that awesome anymore :(
What a lousy day.
Day Three
In the middle of the night my tummy popped. No doubt about it now, I'm preggers!
Luckily Oceanside has a great family leave program and I won't lose my job.
Since I'm up I might as well get in some goal time!
Killer!
Very soon I was beat! I just can't run around on the field all day like before I was pregnant. Boy are these PJs slimming!
While eating breakfast I decide to throw myself a baby shower. My best friends are guys so they probably won't know how to throw a decent shower. There's only a few girls that I actually like but I don't know them well enough to ask them to throw a party for me. So I guess it's up to me!
Diego Bossanova is the first to arrive.
Diego: Wow Sadie, did you gain weight?
Diego's a lot of fun, but he recently started doing this thing were he whistles all the time. Super annoying!
My surf buddy Connor Firestone is next to arrive. I told him to leave the evil queen, I mean his wife, at home.
Brodie and Becca are the final guests. Fitz couldn't come, of course. He's still building the city!
Brodie and I get along really well. She seems to have a thing for Diego but I don't think that's going to go anywhere. He's bonkers for Matisse Troubadour even if he doesn't realize it himself.
Becca is really nice although she seems to keep to herself. I remember being just like that when we first got here.
I grill up yummy hot dogs for everyone. It's so cool to have my first party!
After lunch Connor challenges me to a game of shootout. I guess he thinks he can beat a pregnant lady. He's got another thing coming!
Who you taunting, bro?
Neiner, neiner, neiner!
I can only do a couple of games before I'm ready to pass out again. Phew!
Best Party Ever!
Day Four
I woke up again in the middle of the night super hungry. Most of my guests were still here hanging out in the hot tub. Becca went home, probably because she's pregnant too and has a little one at home.
Just when I'm about to dive into my Mac & Cheese, I popped again!
Diego: Oh, you're not fat you're pregnant!
I'm not too pregnant to knock your block off Diego Bossanova!
After eating I hit the hay again.
After listening to the Watcher mumbling about how she hates dealing with un-wed mothers and having to open a "program" to "change a baby's last name" I decided I'm not going to anger her any longer.
Fitz takes the day off of work and we get hitched! No friends or frenemies. Just Fitz, myself and the Watcher.
It was perfect!
Meet Mr. & Mrs. Fitz Biltmore!
Fitz took no time moving all of his stuff into our home.
And I set up the presents from the baby shower.
Married life is awesome. Fitz is even encouraging me to keep playing soccer even though I'm so far along. The one thing we don't see eye to eye on however is Minka Yomoshoto. He insists we have her delivery the baby. I say I don't need her. I can do it myself!
After my workout I'm off to bed again. Pretty soon my little baby will join our happy family!
But as soon as I fall asleep...
He calls this heifer over! He knows I don't want her here. How could he!!??
Fitz is a little too friendly with Minka Yomoshoto. Why is he talking to her belly? He hasn't talked to my belly! He acts like that's his kid in there!
I guess I shouldn't be so jelly. Soon after Minka arrives Fitz goes back to his normal routine - book learning.
Look at her. I don't see why everyone thinks she's so great. She looks scared to death! What is she worrying about anyway? I don't want her to go anywhere near my baby!
A fire outside wakes me up...
and there goes Minka! Hmph. Afraid of a little fire, are we? *plots Minka's demise by fire*
Since I'm taking control of my own delivery I had an idea that might speed it along!
Woohoo!!!!!!!
Day Five
Early Friday morning I awoke with the worst cramps of my life.
I seriously thought I was dying. But in the back of my head I heard the Watcher saying "It's time to meet your baby Sadie Biltmore!" and I calmed down.
And here he is, my little Yeti! His name is Heath Biltmore. He has his dad's red hair, my tan skin and my gray eyes. Isn't he just perfect!
And where was Dad during all this...
I think all of my wailing got to him!
I've never been happier in my life, well what I can remember of my life anyway. Heath is the most perfect sim in the whole world!!
Of course I had to change him into one of his cute little outfits :) I just wish there was a yeti version of that hat!
There's my Fitz-bear with my little yeti! They look so good together!!
We're the perfect little family!
Before Fitz heads off to work we try to bring another bundle of joy to the family. I didn't hear that strange music, but I did hear the Watcher say bad words again.
Fitz is super-psyched to go to work. We are all counting on him to make his way up the ladder so we can have a Business District! Doesn't he look dreamy in his little hard hat! *Heart-farts*
It's just Heath and I during the day. I'm going to try to be the best mom ever!
He already seems like the happiest baby in Oceanside!
Fitz had a great day too!
However Brick Laying takes a lot out of you. As soon as he came home he went straight to bed.
I finally get a moment to myself and I realize how thankful I really am for all of my blessings! (please excuse my dirty tub, yuck!)
Fitz, did you hear that weird music again?
Definitely the Best Week Ever. Tootles!
Notes: I decided Sadie should narrate this update for the simple fact that she kept looking straight at me while I played. It was super weird!
I really messed up this round. I forgot Sadie was supposed to learn Fire Prevention before she got the Firefighter career and I forgot to put her money down to $2000 so when Fitz married her he got the "Married a Rich Sim" memory. Whoops!

P.S. Since I couldn't remember all of my made-up rules I decided to finally write them down. I've already made mistakes, oh well! I'll correct them next round. The Rules are here. And I made an archive page that I will continue to update here. Thanks for reading!
