I can’t remember if I already mentioned this or not, but for all the preggers out there, this tool is AWESOME.  We used it to time contractions when my labor with j started.  It was helpful because it was really easy to use, and you don’t have to think about it too much (which is good when you’re trying not to obsess over early labor signs.

We were trying to relax and be BAU during early labor, so I would just yell out to Josh, “Ok – press the spacebar!!  Having one now….” ….or when they got worse on Saturday evening, I would just wince and bend over in pain and Josh knew that was body language for “PRESS THE $@!*^ SPACEBAR NOW!!!!”

I know we’re kinda geeky in our house, but I think this is a neat tool to use, ESPECIALLY if you are kinda just lounging at home (or with a laptop readily available) and want to time ctx, but not focus on the whole stopwatch-counting-the-seconds-you’re-in-pain ordeal.

The only room for improvement --- it’d be awesome if you could use the timer via mobile phone.
