Childbirth Class
Saint Peters University Hospital offers childbirth classes in two formats. Either you can take the class one day a week for a month or spend a whole day one weekend learning about childbirth and specifically Lamaze. We decided that spending 7 hours (9am—4pm) was the better option. So, off we went with 2 pillows (for… Continue reading Childbirth Class
Urdu Font / اردو فونٹ
آصف نے یہ بہت اچھا کام کیا ہے کہ اردو کے فونٹ اکٹھے کر دیئے ہیں۔ اب قارئین کو لمبی ہدایات نہیں دینی پڑیں گی کہ فونٹ کیسے انسٹال کرنا ہے۔
Travel Tales
I like traveling quite a lot and hence am quite fond of blogs describing or photographing travel around the world. Amanda Butler of Crescat Sententia is blogging about her experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer in Kazakhstan. Her descriptions make me want to plan my Central Asian trip soon. Brian Ulrich talks about the standard… Continue reading Travel Tales
Immunization of Infants
Since we are having a baby next month, we are thinking of immunizations along with other baby-related topics. So I was surprised to find out that some people like us don’t vaccinate their children. Struggling, inner-city parents are more likely to neglect to completely vaccinate their children, while parents who refuse to vaccinate at all… Continue reading Immunization of Infants
USCIS Efficiency
It took a month to happen for Amber. That was two years ago. I had to wait 2 years and 2 months for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to do what was just a printing job.

Pikes Peak
Here are some photographs from my drive up to the summit of Pikes Peak. The weather at the summit was quite cold and windy (for June at least) and there was a definite lack of oxygen. I think next time I am going to try to hike instead of driving up. There is also a… Continue reading Pikes Peak
Buying Baby Stuff
What better way to start shopping for our baby than to buy new bedroom furniture for ourselves? It makes the expense of the baby’s things trivial by comparison and postpones the day when you can buy stuff for the baby by throwing a wrench in your finances. Looking at a Babies R Us list of… Continue reading Buying Baby Stuff
