Okay, so I was waiting in the doctor's office for Keona's wellness shots on Tuesday. I glanced at the magazines, primarily Pregnancy (which I am far beyond) but a title caught my eye from the May 2009 issue: The Digital Mom: 9 easy tech projects to brace yourself for baby (one for each month!).
So, Month 1 is low-tech - make a list of what you should and should not eat, print it out, and carry in your wallet. There are four websites to visit as well... So, combining information.
Month 2: Follow baby's in-utero development at whattoexpect.com, parents.com, and thecradle.com.
Month 3: pick your baby's name: thecradle.com/babynames/search (50,000+ baby names!), and nameberry.com.
Month 4: Join the blogosphere! Okay, so here it gets more ditigal - create a photo blog (typepad.com and blogger.com). Add a web gallery, and start a photostream on Flickr.com.
Month 5: Learn about new-mom resources in your area: themommiesnetwork.org, meetup.com, lilaguide.com, momslikeme.com, twittermoms.com, and yelp.com
Month 6: create a perfect playlist for your delivery! They say most hospitals won't let you use the plug-ins provided in the delivery room, but invest in the battery-powered iPod speaker docks.
Month7: Design personalized notes for baby gifts. Create Thank-You cards for use when you get baby stuff after delivery.
Month 8: Set up a high-speed labor notification system. This one is specifically using Twitter to update your loved ones when you go into labor.
Month 9: Create a newborn data tracker. Now that you have Twitter, you can write down when your baby eats, how often and what time they eat (so that you can accurately tell the pediatrician after lack of sleep!). Or print out a PDF file or iPhone app (trixietracker.com, $15/3 mo).
