Maternity and life time tracking apparatus and method of use

A maternity and lifetime tracking apparatus comprising:

• a counter to indicate the current time and date, the counter being programmable;
• a register to indicate an expected child delivery date, the register being programmable;
• comparison logic coupled to the counter and the register to compute a remaining period of time, in months, weeks, and days, until the expected delivery date, by subtracting the expected date from the current date;
• a display being coupled to the counter to display the current time and date and being coupled to the register to display the expected delivery date, wherein the comparison logic is to compute a period of time in at least months, weeks, and days elapsed since the expected delivery date and feed the period of elapsed time to the display, so that the display can automatically change from displaying the time remaining to the elapsed time;
• and
• an event log that includes a plurality of entries each relating to a milestone in the life of a child, each entry having a field for containing at least one of a date and time stamp that can be programmed by a user of the apparatus, the event log being coupled to the display so that the contents of each entry can be displayed in response to the user's selection.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for programming an expected event date, and at least one of a current time of the day and date;
• means for displaying a period of time remaining until the expected event;
• means for displaying a period of time elapsed since the expected event,
• wherein the remaining period of time that is displayed includes the number of months, weeks, and days remaining until the expected event date;
• and
• means for at least one of time and date stamping a plurality of entries that correspond to events that occur after the expected event date.
