Baby Memories, Milestones, and Our Military
I was living in Virginia when my son was born, and I was in a new city with only a few friends and no family nearby. I had no support system. To make things even more complicated, my husband shipped out exactly one week after our son was born. I was all alone, and he was missing all those fantastic firsts that every parent should be a part of. It would have been great to have some way to share feeding times, schedules, memories, and milestones in a more organized way. That was then.
I met Aruni, a mom and great lady, who founded BabbleSoft, and after a few conversations, we knew we just had to work together. Her company had great applications, and we had military families in need.
Now, through BabbleSoft, military families have fantastic tools at their fingertips. BabbleSoft’s Baby Insights helps caregivers keep track of baby’s breast & bottle feeding, sleep periods, diaper changes, medicine doses, immunization records, and mom’s breastfeeding, pumping, and medicine intake. Having important information stored in one location makes communication between parents, their nanny, babysitters, grandparents, or doctors seamless and reliable and gives new parents insight into their baby’s patterns to help with crucial baby care decisions.
Babble Soft’s Baby Say Cheese lets you create an incredible online baby’s first-year photo album with milestones such as ‘first crawl, first smile, first word’ and a family tree you can share with friends and family. You can even send fun, cute picture postcards of your baby’s milestones to anyone with an email address!
I’m pleased we’re again teaming up with another great company, Babble Soft, to make life a little easier for our military service members and their families. Though these options weren’t available to me when my children were born, you can take advantage of these great services or share them with someone you know who just had a baby!

Here’s what others have had to say:
Thanks Fred for mentioning our partnership with http://www.eMailOurMilitary.com! I think what they are doing by pairing civilians with active duty military personnel to exchange emails is great. I’m sure for those far from home getting email correspondence from people who support them or even share daily trivia of what’s going on at home can be morale boosting. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be away from home and not have some ties through email, letters, packages, etc. back to what used to be their reality. Knowing someone would take the time to connect with them using this amazing invention called the Internet probably means a lot to these often young military personnel. Trish has done a fabulous job bridging the gap, and I hope more people learn about the service she has almost single handedly brought to life. Happy Memorial Day Fred! – Aruni S. Gunasegaram –
Thank you so much for spotlighting eMail Our Military’s (http://www.eMailOurMilitary…) collaboration with Babble Soft (http://www.BabbleSoft.com). Twitter has been such a great connector for us and we’re so pleased to have been able to meet Aruni and work together with her to provide this great opportunity to military families with newborns. Memorial Day is a holiday close to our hearts. My husband is a military service member, my father served as well so today, we’ll honor and remember those who paid the ultimate price for freedom.In response to those leaving negative comments, I’ll quote one of our guest writer’s today:”I’ve heard comments like “well they signed up for it.” Yes, they did, and that’s the point. They signed up for it knowing war was a possibility, some even signed up with the express purpose of going to war beside their brothers in arms. And if they’re on their fourth or fifth tour, they’ve had to make the choice to re-up, to sign themselves up for yet another round of deployments. They could’ve made the choice to say “no more”, but who would go in their place? Would you? Would you send your children instead? Your spouse? Your siblings? If they don’t go, who will?” – Trish –
Who will indeed?
