On Friday, November 20th, 2015 I received the RealCare baby simulation. The baby simulation started at around 6:00 pm on Friday and ended 48 hours later on Sunday.
Initially when I first received the RealCare baby simulation, I was excited to see what would happen. I was sincerely looking forward to taking care of the baby, and really wanted to start as soon as possible so I could get the assignment over with and have fun with it at the same time.

One thing you should know about me is that I am a worrywart and I overthink things a lot. So while yes the crying was horrible, but the amount of sleep that I lost was due to the amount of overthinking and worrying I spent the entire night doing. My mother woke up at one point during the night asking if I needed help. I did need help, but with only me having the bracelet I didn’t really know what to ask of her so I just told her I was fine, and that she should just go back to
