Baby Count Down Clock
Counting Down
People like great events and one method that is commonly used is counting down to that event. It can be counting months, days or even hours. So naturally a lot of “soon to be parents” counts towards the birth of their baby.
In these times where you can get almost everything you want; naturally someone has come up with the idea of a Baby Count Down Clock. No need to invent the wheel yourself but if you don’t want to go spend money on a fancy technical solution here are some ideas for creating your own Baby Count Down Clock.
Paper and Pencil
One of the simplest ways to count down is using a piece of paper and a pencil. Now you divide the paper into equal sized boxes representing the days left. You can hang it on the refrigerator or have it in a drawer. Every morning (or evening) you check off one of the boxes until the great day arrives.
While this may not be a fashionable solution, it works really well, doesn’t cost anything and will only take you a few minutes to do.
The Calendar
Using a calendar for keeping track of the time until your baby arrives is kind of the same as the paper and pencil approach. A calendar however will cost you a little (if you don’t already own one) but is also so much more exciting to look at.
You can find calendars in most supermarkets, bookstores, post offices etc. Online you’ll also be able to find a huge selection that will fit your every need. A great place to look for baby related items is on Amazon.com.
The Electronic Baby Count Down Clock
If you are spending a lot of your time in front of a computer you might want to have software based Baby Count Down Clocks. So what is it that a PC based clock can do that a calendar or paper version can not do? Well it is actually quite simple!
The little piece of software does it all for you. No need to check off any boxes, no need to design a layout and you can even have it play a little tune when the days arrives (might be a little silly though).
There are many websites selling different solutions and I must admit that I haven’t tried most of them. I am more into the calendar solution but that is just me.
Some of the sites selling these Baby Count Down Clocks are:
T-Minus Countdown Clock(tm) – Their solution comes with a little picture and a counter that will count the days, hours, minutes and even seconds. It can play a tune and it works with Microsoft Windows. The price is $9.99 and it comes with a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. Read more at their website.
Countdown Clock International, Inc. - If you are not using your computer and you are looking for a solution that is more like a normal alarm clock then CCI might have the solution for you.
They have designed a little Pregnancy Countdown Clock that will also count days, hours, minutes and seconds. The design is cute and it is easy to use. The great thing is that you can use it all the babies you are going to have and you can even let friends and relatives borrow the clock when you are not using it.
The cost is $24.95 and can be bought online from their shop.
Amazon.com – has a great solution also and even though is can do any more that the one from CCI, it cost far less. The price is around $9 and I must say I find that a reasonable price for such an item.
