USA to India Calling plan
What are the calling plan options available in USA to call India?
I used below calling plans :
1 Vonage
Various plans available from $9.99 to $27.99.
But when they say $9.99 per month plus taxes and fees it means that
$9.99+ approx. $8.00(Taxes and fees), so the total cost will be around $17.00 approximately.
They have contract and as well as without contract plans. I will suggest ask for without contract plan, so that any time you can stop service without contract breaking fee.
2 Rebtel
This is useful for those who already have phone with calling feature and want international call service.
Plans/Deals are available starting from
$2.00 for 200 minutes per month and
Compare to Vonage its more cheap service.
Flexible: Because as and when you need you can add credit to your account instead of fix monthly rental charges.

Magic Bullet blender/mixer
Magic Bullet
Date :Nov-2014
Looking for a mixer/ blender works like Indian mixer???
Magic bullet is an perfect product. there are some other products from magic bullet like Nutri bullet. Nutri bullet is something more powerful then magic bullet.
But if you are using for a single family then magic bullet is sufficient.
Magic bullet grind dry food in fine powder.
It purees any food or fruit.
It is available in some variations.
1) 12 piece set (includes only 1 blade)
2) 17 piece set (Includes 2 blades)
3) 26 piece set (includes 3 blades)
Instead of buying some smoothie blender for cheap... magic bullet is an excellent option like an Indian mixer.
You can have look at walmart. It is available in $49-50.
I bought it at costco just for $ 39 of 26 piece set. But I had mine in Thanks giving Deal.
The best thing with magic bullet is that it comes with several different mixing containers instead of just one big container.
Replacement parts can be purchased very reasonably.
Easy to use, easy to clean

how much it Costs to Have a Baby in USA
Based on my personal experience I'm sharing how much it cost to me so that you will get some idea to plan you budget.
Texas, Year-2014
Required around 10-12 visit
Dr. Fee for delivery
Delivery type normal :$2800.00
Delivery type C-Section :$3800.00
Hospital cost for 2 days : $9200.00 (in case of normal delivery and 2 day of stay at hospital, for mom & baby both)
Epidural Anesthesia : $3500.00
According my plan Cigna PPO benefits were as below
Prenatal care : $25 Copay(for all visit 100% after co-pay)
Including 3rd and 5th month sonogram
Deductible: $2000
Co-Pay & coinsurance for Hospital stay : $650 copay and then 20% of remaining amount
Cigna Discount : 1700
=Copay+deductible+hospital co pay+ 20 % total bill -any Insurance discounts
=25+2000+650+20%(2800+9200+3500-650-2000-1700)
=2675 + 20%(15500-2675-1700)
=2675+ 20%(11125)
=2675+ 2225
=$4900.00
Additional to this there may some cost for LAB test based on Insurance Plan
In my case it was $30.00 co-pay
Tip: When you make hospital bill you can negotiate bill with discounted rate. you may expect discount from 5%-20% vary based on mode of payment and hospital to hospital.
You can also meet Hospital, Prenatal account department to get quote and approximate cost. They can help & guide you based on your insurance plan.
You need to know your Insurance plan coverage for benefits.
If you have any questions please feel free to comment or ask through email (knowmyexperiences@gmail.com).
Other Expenses
Car Seat & Stroller: $150-$300
Crib : $200
Diapers & Wipes: $50 per month
Cloths : Up to you how much you want to spend :)
