Positive!

After trying for what it seemend forever, we finally had the pregnancy test and it was POSITIVE!
We have been working a LOT on the house, buying tons of things for the babies (Tyler more than I did, for sure). We have been talking so much about it every single day, anxiety almost got us to fight a few times because we kept getting the negative tests and we didnt know what we were doing wrong, we almost gave up...well, I almost gave up... but here we are! Finally pregnant! The Mama Allpa HUD is amazing, VERY realistic, mostly with the struggling part O_O



We have been looking around so many clinics, talking with doctors, trying to decide which one would be the one to share with us this special moments in our lives. We finally chose Simply Babies Maternity, the whole building is so beautiful we didnt see anything like it in SL.

We laugh a lot because we never thought we would do this, but honestly, seeing Tyler as a parent really made me love him even more. I fall for him every single day, with everything he does. I can totally say we are a team. We are one. VERY messy, but one!


So now we are reading all this info about the Zoobie Babies and some notecards about roleplay kids.

So much to enjoy... have never been happier!

SL Kids & Babies

I ALWAYS laughed at people having fake prim  kids in Second Life, or adopting some crazy person that decided to have a child avatar. Never understood why they did that. In fact, everytime I ran into a kid in Second Life I walked away right away, it freaked me out, it is just too weird.
I mean, shall I pretend they are real kids and talk to them as if they were 5 or something? So ridiculous. Besides, I have my family in Real Life, I am a single mom of two, why would I want to log in to have more responsabilities when all I need is a break?

But then I met Tyler and as we do like roleplay a lot, we have a lot of fun not just being fools around sl bothering people with a thousand loud gestures.....but we also enjoy a lot  going to dinner in a fancy restaurant like Bella Bistro (we really really like this place) and sharing a romantic pixeled rp meal, tasting every bite together and talking about life, just as if we were right there in RL. Roleplay is so nice when you get to share those moments with the person you love.



With the wedding coming everything turned more and more rp because honestly it is the closer the can get to reality, unless until we meet in a few weeks in Real Life. 

He has been asking me for a while now to adopt, and obviously I freaked out. 

At this point of our relationship, this level of trust and our immesurable love, I will just say it felt right to say "yes, lets do it. Lets have a baby"

It was a LOT of information to read, lots of research, so many bellies and babies and zoobies...and we didnt even get to the looking for rp kids part! Some options are super realistic, the experience is just fabulous. Like this one.... just AMAZING! : https://vimeo.com/277891545

But I will be completely honest here: I have never been so excited about something in Second Life, not even with the wedding. Even when we talk on the phone during the day we keep talking about our SL family, how he decorated the house, the stuff he got for the babies. I am not even pregnant yet and look at us! All anxious! 

We wanted it to be "realistic", so the first step was getting the Mama Allpa HUD. Its a classic in SL apparently, there is a version for females and for males......guys can actually have sex and "pretend to use a condom cheating on his partner", it has super fun and interesting features. 

So here I am, counting the days of my SL cycle to know when im ovulating and try to get pregnant. If we get a Negative Pregnancy Test we will be crushed, but we will keep trying! 

Second Life has never been so real. 

It amaze me how you can never get bored in Second Life...how you can always experience things that you never thought you would be doing. Not even in Real Life. And suddenly you have the chance to try, to live, to feel. Second Life never gets old.

Behind the wedding screen

How did we get to the Wedding Behind the Screen day...? (as you can see at the end of the post) Well...

Looking for a present for a friend I ended up wandering around Man Cave and running into Tyler, the man that I will marry in a few weeks.

We werent the kinda people that goes around Second Life looking for love and relationships, we were exactly the opposite: a love Grinch. 

I’ve been alone my whole SL life as Marya Bournewold. I never really wanted to partner anyone, and when i tried sharing a house with someone and it lasted just a few weeks, TOTAL FAIL! (Made me wonder if thats what love is in SL, because to be honest it was mediocre). I know there are many people out there that think the same I used to: why even bother? Its just SL. We had our moments of expectations and dreams and we invested on someone that broke our heart, so we decide to live alone and keep it that way for good.

Believe me, i tried to stay alone. But this is what happened..... I decided to live. And living makes you take risks. And risking.......is so scary.....but can change your life.



We started a big project together, actually we never really planned it, it just happened. Without even knowing we didnt just move together, but we also created a whole town around our house and opened it for people to come in and explore our world, our home at Les Eclaireurs Coast. And even if it is very hard and takes a lot of work and time, it is amazing to see that people come to our sim, the place that we started building when we decided to build a life together. Our story kinda begins there...at Les Eclaireurs.


And the day we opened Les Eclaireurs to the public...he risked. And I said Yes, lets spend the rest of our Second Lives together!


As the wedding date gets closer our relationship actually gets stronger. What does it mean? It means that for the wedding....we will actually be together behind the screen in RL. Same country, same city, same room. Same wifi too to make things more laggy. 

11 June, you have a very special wedding to attend! 

This is as real as it gets.
