MoonDragon's Pregnancy Information: Pregnancy Calculator

A scanned handheld pregnancy calculator that can be printed out and easily assembled by parents or birth attendants. The calculator can then be used again or saved in the baby's birthbook (babybook) as a keepsake along with pictures and birth/growth information. I find it much nicer to use than the electronic calculators that I have seen here in cyberspace. A permanent, professional copy of this calculator can be purchased through Cascade Health Care Supplies, Inc. for $4.00 (Price may change).
