Cute! I like the alphabetic names!
I have had luck with making kids with "no way" couples, but the "definitely" couples do seem to have a few more kids on average. Strangely, all of my "no way" couples had at least 2 adoptions! O.O
And as for the shower, make sure no one says "taking a shower" in their action line before you try to make one take a shower. And if they just won't take showers you could always buy a towelette for them. :P
