The Pre-Simulation Questionnaire

11/114

Before jumping into this experience, I wanted to know what I was getting myself into. I found a questionnaire that helped me think about what I expected and how I felt about taking on the role of a parent and how it could change things in my life. Here are my answers before I even met my RealCare Baby.

I was already pretty nervous about the whole thing and this didn't help haha.....

And so it begins... My RealCare Baby experience officially started here. I kept track of every time the baby cried, why it cried, how I felt, and even how my family reacted. These moments sort of paint a picture of what it was like to be a parent – even just for a little while. I can't even begin to tell you how stressful that first cry was! 

Also I got a little birth certificate for my Baby! Meet Celia Bains!

The Diary Logs

Babies grow up so quickly and every milestone is a big deal. I created a timeline of 10 milestones that babies typically reach in their first 18 months. Here’s how my little one would progress through these exciting moments!

Of course, no baby book is complete without photos! Here are some pictures of me and my RealCare Baby, capturing special moments and memories throughout this simulation. These include a few ‘firsts’ and highlights of our journey!
