Two things jumped out at me when I initially saw your kickstarter (prior to this HN post):
1) $16 for a year of app access is a lot. We could argue about whether that should be a lot or not, but in the current market it really is.
2) Timing is a bit difficult on this - with most Kickstarters, people are ok with getting it "whenever" - sometime in the medium-term future is fine for a widget or a computer game. For your app, I'd want it ready the day by kid is born - no sooner (if it's subscription) and no later (I'd miss some events). So it's a tough thing to back in advance. You say it would launch "later this year" - not helpful if I either have a newborn right now or aren't already expecting.
Edit: that said, it looks like a cool project, please continue with it. I fully expect to have a need for this app within 2 years, and would probably pay $10-$15 for a subscription.
