Mixed conditionals

I've followed following tutorial about mixed conditionals, according to the instructions that I got while I was asking previous question in this site.

https://www.englishpage.com/conditional/mixedconditional.html


Even though, I could answer all of other questions, there is one question that I can not answer. It is 9th question in https://www.englishpage.com/conditional/conditional10.htm.


The question is

a. Eleanor and Ben are not going skiing with us this year because Eleanor just had a baby.
b. But, Eleanor and Ben would go skiing with us this year if Eleanor (have, not, just) just had not had a baby.


The first part of the answer ("would go") is correct according to that website. However, my second answer is "just had not had" because we are talking about the past hypothetical situation's possible present results. Please someone tell me what is the wrong with my answer and why?
