Creativity In Motion-- Babies 38, 39, and 40!

The first thing Leiah got to was fixing all the broken things.

Then she took it upon herself to upgrade the toilet so that it was self-cleaning.

Matthias seemed to have a special connection with his little brother, and he also seemed to be doing GREAT.

"Ohhh Liam, where does the time go?  It's time for you to grow up today."  

Leiah told her baby boy.

Liam looked like the boy version of Leiah, just like Matthias, only without the glowing eyes and vampire skin.

Flor was, wow.  She's going to be a stunner when she grows up.

Leiah was blessed with some gorgeous kids, because Abigail was just so freaking beautiful.

Arianna grew out of her tomboy phase, and was so unique and beautiful.

Matthias was going to make a GREAT husband to somebody one day, his icy blue eyes were so captivating.

Leiah had to ask the doctors if it was safe to let Matthias move out, and, they had decided to take him off of suicide watch.  He seemed like a happier person, and he seemed to regret what he did.  

"Matthias, you have no idea how hard this is for me.  It feels like you were just born yesterday."

Leiah told him.

"Mom, I just want you to know that what I did was NOT your fault.  You're the best mom ever and I'm so glad to have you."

Leiah, with tears going down her face, gave Matthias a tight hug.  With that, Matthias left to be on his own and live an independent life.

Abigail was always at the piano, and she had soon mastered it. 

Arianna also decided to try it, and loved it as much as Abigail.

But then Arianna switched to the bass, she said she loved the sound and the heart grabbing quality.

She had lots of fun teaching herself how to play, and she sounded great.

After a while, the two girls and Leiah played a little trio while Flor and Liam listened.

Leiah got a text from Thomas telling her to come over.  She was curious, but had a little inkling of what he wanted her to see.  ;)

Sure enough, she met Lolly at the door, and Lolly looked exhausted.

Thomas had a son named Philip, and he was as adorable as his parents.

"Hi sweety, I'm your grandma..."

She spent a few moments cuddling her grandson.

Thomas and Lolly were supposed to be resting, but they, like most first time parents, couldn't leave their baby alone.

Finally, Leiah convinced Lolly to get some rest, but Thomas stayed up and talked to her for a while.  No signs of his "syndrome" were apparent anymore.

Finally, it was time to go and let Philip and his parents get a little shut eye.  So Leiah put him in his crib and kissed his forehead.

The drive home allowed Leiah to think, not necessarily about bad things, just to think.

When she got home, Leiah finished making the toilet self-cleaning.

Finally, she got it finished, and soapy suds spread themselves across the toilet.

After that was all done, she went online to check her Emails.  Sure enough, there was one particular Email she wanted to pay attention to. 

The guy was deaf, but could read lips.  Leiah Emailed him back and told him that she would be honored if he would be the next father in her challenge, and to come to her house the next morning.  His name was Day Glo.

She spent the whole night reading a sign language book, trying to at least learn a few signs.  By the end of the night, she had learned the whole alphabet, which would help her to fingerspell anything she wanted to say.

She got about 2 hours of sleep all in all, but it was worth it.

She made herself a cup of coffee before greeting this man.

As promised, he showed up right on time.

He had learned how to speak, and was consequently speaking and signing to her.

"Really, thank you so much for doing this Day."

she signed and spoke to him, hoping he would understand.

He must've understood her, because he took her hands in his and nodded at her with a smile.

They embraced, and just looked into each other's eyes.  No words.

She gently kissed him, and they went to her bedroom.

Communication wasn't necessary anymore as the lullaby went through the air.

Day Glo went home, and Leiah found these curious creatures in her house.  There was a gnome in her bathroom who looked like he was doing Russian kicks.

There was a strange metal gnome in her yard who looked as if he was watching the grass grow.

There was also a vampire gnome, he was rather funny.

There was also another metal gnome just staring at the wall.

Then there was the silly rapper gnome.

After investigating them, Leiah went and payed her bills.

Then Leiah went and worked on her drawings.

She was interrupted; however, when she had to vomit.  Yay!

The "normal" gnome moved from the bathroom to a heroic pose in her bedroom.

The vampire gnome had gotten to Big Bird, and changed him into a vampire.  The kids were really sad that they had lost one of their favorite toys.

Leiah had to vomit, again.  So she didn't get time to figure out the vampire thing further.

She stood there in happiness as she watched the toilet clean itself.

To clean herself up, Leiah took a bath next.

Luckily, little angel Liam was napping.

Leiah had to wake him up though because it was time to potty train!  Like most boys, he had a little difficulty at first, but he pulled through and had it down by the end of the day.

Leiah was determined to make her pregnancy a relaxed one, so she spent most of her time laying in bed watching TV.

Her belly wasn't very far out yet, but it was really long, so Leiah was convinced she was having twins or triplets.

Flor liked to spend her days listening to Arianna play the bass.  She was determined to learn when she was older.

Leiah woke up the next day feeling like a whale, and she was getting big.

There was good reason for her to feel like a whale too.

Because those babies wanted OUT!

Arianna brought her to the hospital just in time, because Leiah had the babies just as soon as she got in her hospital room.

Yep, babIES.  The ever famous baby carrier showed up.

Meet baby 38, Yvonne Mistoffelees.

Baby 39, Clara Mistoffelees

 And baby 40, Lara Mistoffelees.  

This post is dedicated to my best guy friend, Jamison, who went completely deaf when he was three.  You rock Music Lover!
