I'm Michelle Cox -- the owner of Lipstick to Crayons. I’m also a Mom to three kids (a teen, tween and toddler), a professional writer (www.michellemcox.com) and a blogger (www.fromthemom.com). And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Get Your Own Personalized Pregnancy Ticker

Please note: This ticker is merely a sample and in no way implies a baby (or babies) is on the way for one of us here at Lipstick to Crayons.

It seems everyone has their own ticker these days- counting down their children’s birthdays, etc. This unique ticker counts down the days during your pregnancy until your due date. I thoroughly enjoyed browsing this cool site where I found the pregnancy ticker. You can personalize the ticker with your name and it will even calculate your due date. As your pregnancy advance, watch the fetus grow larger. Aside from the widget, you can find interesting games, find out the popularity of your child’s name, see a interactive 3-D fetus, and even buy yourself some cool t-shirts with funny sayings.

Babstrology.com was founded by a dad who had just lost his job as a computer programmer and website designer. At the time, his wife was newly pregnant. The site at first yielded little traffic or interest. That is until he developed his innovative pregnancy ticker. Now the pregnancy ticker has been downloaded over 70,000 times! Check out all the hype at Babystrology.

  1. Ha ha. Very funny, sis. All I can say is don’t drink the water because you could be next.

  2. I don’t know. I find that ticker a little creepy. Of course, I’d probably feel differently if I was pregnant!
