After class on Monday I told Erin all about it. She decided to sign up and come too. We went to the next class that was on Wednesday and Erin had a blast.
I get into my car and wait for Harry.
Come on Harry, I yell out my car window.
He doesn't seem to hear me so I carefully lean over to the driver seat and honk the horn. Minutes later he comes out with a half eaten sandwich and a soda.
Seriously, I say as he gets into the driver seat.
I got hungry, he whined.
Whatever just hurry up we after gonna be late, I say as I lean my head back.
He drives silently to the clinic where our class is held. I get out of the car and walk inside to the room with the other ladies. Erin is already sitting down on her mat talking to McKenna.
She notices me and gets up off the mat.
What took you so long, she asks.
Harry got hungry, I said with a sigh.
OK class, take you seats, the older coach says.
This weekend you are all going to be taking home and electronic baby. It cries, needs diaper changes, bottle feedfinishes upping and rocking. It as realistic as it can get. Both parents will have a wrist band on with a sensor. When the baby crys you have to scan the baby so it know you there. Then you must find out it's need, the younger coach explains to us.
They press play on a DVD and a video starts playing. It covers what the babies like and how to take care of it. It explains that everything is kept track electronically.
After the video finish we get to experience the babies. I decide to go before Harry because we have to work together. I take hold of a baby and the coach turns it on. Right away it cries, I find the sensor and wait for a beep. The beep sounds and I try to feed it, it didn't make a sucking noise so I decided to try the diaper. I remove the babies diaper and put a new one on. The sensor on the diaper comes in contact with the babies sensor and the baby coo's. I finish strapping on the diaper and then hand it to Harry.
Good luck, I say.
Harry smiles and cues the coach to reset the baby. The baby resets and immediately starts crying. Harry struggles to find the sensor but he eventually does. He then attempts to change the diaper but it doesn't scan, instead it starts crying even louder. My mother instincts kick in I grab the baby and start rocking it. I command Harry to give me the bottle. He follows as a say. I put the the bottle by the babies mouth and it immediately starts sucking on it. I sigh and hand the baby to Harry carefully supporting its head. He cradles the baby and continues to feed it. The bottle slips and the baby starts crying Harry quickly fixes it and the baby starts drinking again. The baby continue to drink for twenty minutes. After the baby stops drinking, we wait as everyone else finished finishes up. The older coach walks up to me and Harry.
Do you guys wanna try with three babies, she asks us.
Sure it wouldn't hurt, I say.
She brings over to more babies and let's us get settled. I give her the cue and she turns them on. The first one goes off, I scan it quickly and try the bottle it works. I feed the baby for five minutes then the second one goes off. Harry picks it up scans it and tries the diaper. As he's changing the diaper the third one starts crying. Because its in its car seat still I scan the front and start rocking it with my foot as I feed baby number one. Baby number three still cries and starts getting louder. I grab an extra bottle and attempt to feed both babies at the same time. The baby starts sucking on the bottle and I sigh in relief. Harry finishes changing the diaper of baby number two but it's starts crying again. It wouldn't except a bottle or a new diaper so Harry starts rocking it. He talks to it and I can't help but giggle. He looks at me embarrassed but continues to do it anyway. After ten minutes the coach shuts all the babies off.
The older one walks up to us again.
Do you guys want to take home three babies for the weekend? She asks us.
I look at Harry and he nods yes. I guess, I tell the coach.
She shows us how to strap up the babies and explains to us what's in the diaper bags. Class ends and Harry and I met Erin and Liam outside. They have a little baby boy and we have three girls. Harry carries two of the car seats and I carry one. We strap the three into the back of my car. We have a hard time getting them to all fit and then realize we need a van not a car. I decide I will just hold one on my lap while Harry drives. The coaches said they wouldn't turn everyone baby on until an hour after class.
Harry drives to the closest car dealer ship. We grab the triplets and walk inside. We place the car seats on the ground by the front desk and Harry explains that we are here to trade my car in for a van. A sales man walks up after the person at the desk calls him on the intercom.
He sees the triplets and smiles.
How old are they? He asks.
There electronic babies, I tell him.
We have to take care of them for the weekend, Harry tells him.
But why three, he and obviously not noticing my huge belly.
Because we are expecting three, I say rubbing my belly trying to get him to notice.
He looks at my belly and his jaw drops.
Oh my god I didn't notice your belly, he says.
Really, I ask, you didn't at all notice my huge belly.
Nope, anyways what kind of car are you looking for? He asks.
A van preferably blue, red or silver, I tell him.
How many does it need to fit, he asks.
Me, Lizzie and the triplets, Harry answers.
OK I'll show you what we have, follow me.
We follow him to the van section. The first one he shows us is a silver four door, the back door shut with buttons. It has a driver seat a passenger seat, two separate seats, and a three seater in the back. With a good sizes trunk.
I lean over to Harry and whisper to him.
I like this one, let's test drive it, I whisper.
He agrees and tells the sales person. The guy hands us the keys, and I load the babies in. We drive around town and talk about the pro's and con's about the van.
It gets good mileage and fits us all, I say.
True but it's a bit pricey, Harry says.
Are you forgetting something, I say, your rich and if I need to I'll get a job.
Oh alright we'll get this van, Harry says.
I cheer a bit and wait for Harry to get back to the dealer ship.
We tell the guy our final decision and purchase the car.
Harry drives home and we let the chaos begin.
Dun dun dun!!!
I had to do this in health class, I hated it. but I only had one baby.
Anyways...
QOTD:do you think Lizzie and Harry will survive?
