Describe your business/products:

The Mommy Measure is a unique pregnancy growth chart and keepsake that allows moms to track their baby belly growth and document milestones and experiences during pregnancy.

What was your inspiration?

When Pam was pregnant with their first son, she used everything from toilet paper squares to ribbon to track her growing belly. She also kept little pregnancy notes in a journal. Later, when she was pregnant with her second son, she wanted to compare her two pregnancies, but there was not an easy way to do this with all the different items she had used. To solve the problem, Kevin and Pam created a keepsake that stores all pregnancy measurements and milestones in one place.

What has been the hardest part of starting your own business?

The hardest part of starting a business has been finding enough "free" time to work. With a two-and-a-half year old and a six month old, our hands are always full, so naptime and bedtime is when we get the most accomplished!

What has been the most exciting?
It has been exciting to see all the positive response from pregnant friends, customers, mommy bloggers, and fans on Facebook.
