babies? or suddenly children?

I read conflicting information -- in one place I read when your character has a child, the child appears immediately as an 8 year old. I also read a comment saying that there is a baby. Can anyone tell me what will really happen when my character has a child? Is there an actual baby, or not?

From what I read in the Family DJ, you will have an immediate baby. That is why they altered the Elyrian year from 4 days to 7. This was the compromise to changing other game mechanics. So you will have a baby, but it will take 15 weeks to have an "heir".

For the long answer:

"So when deciding what our ideal scenario was, we decided to back up our previous design choice and bring children back into the game. That is, they're no longer invisible stasis children, but NPCs in the world. Beginning as babies in a crib, you'll have the opportunity to see them grow and develop as NPCs for the first 15 years of their life. But that means they don't exist until you conceive them."
