Happy Mother's Day from our family to yours.

I'm happy to introduce the newest member in the Labor and Contraction Timer family: the web app! It doesn't (yet) have as many features as the smart phone versions, but is usable right now, in your browser. The app stores all data locally on your computer, so it remembers your contraction history between visits, but there are no accounts to create or forms to fill out before you can start using it. Just hit "Start Contraction" and you're timing.

Congratulations to all the new parents out there and this makes one more easy way to track your labor progress. Let me know if anyone has feedback or suggestions for future updates.

Milk Maid was featured in the August 2012 issue of Babytalk Magazine!

It's on page 28:

Pumping? Calculate how much milk you make, and track your stash with the Milk Maid app.

Thank you, Babytalk Magazine.

I'm pleased to announce the birth of the Earlybird Baby! Mom, baby, the Earlybird Toddler and I are all home and doing well.

We made use of the Contraction Timer in the days and hours leading up to the big event and are now making good use of the Baby Timer at home.

An update is available for the Contraction Timer, download it from iTunes now. This fixes a bug in the charts which would occasionally show incorrect data for the right most column. It also updates the main screen during a contraction to show you the time since the last contraction. Previously it would only show you this after the contraction has ended.

My latest app, Baby Kick Counter, is available in the App Store. My wife is pregnant with our second child and wanted something to keep track of fetal kicks. So I thought I'd build her an app, and then I thought others might like it too. It lets you count up to 10 kicks, count the number of kicks in an hour, or just track individual kicks as you like throughout the day. The history is fully viewable and editable, and you can email your list of kicks to yourself or your doctor.

See the app web page, or go grab it in the app store.
