Reviewing documentation is a crucial step for any writing process. You can review your own work and reflect, or sometimes reach out to someone who can make this process easier. With an integration of MS office and Adobe Acrobat, you can churn out a decent enough document to send out to the world, but the assumption here would be that everyone has a similar setup.

During my visits to the doctor and specifically in the last few months of my pregnancy, my doctor shared the information about why it was required.

Pretend play or role play is nothing but encouraging children to mimic real life people and situations in safety of their environment. Now, we all know that a decade ago, there was no invasion of smartphones and TV’s, thus forcing us to engage in pretend play.

You just delivered a pretty little bundle of goodness and you’re holding that baby in your hand, but you don’t understand why you can’t stop fighting the tears. Others are looking at you, pacifying you, to let the tears of happiness roll, but deep down you know that these are anything but tears of happiness.

What if you could see how your baby looks couple of months before she arrives in the world? With the advent of technology it is now possible to see just that.
