Andrea is due in March. She has 2 boys already and she is having another. Megan is due at the end of May. She has 2 girls and is having a boy. Marina is also due at the end of May. This is her first baby and it is a girl. Actually we have another lady pregnant but she just found out. I'm sure there will be a shower for her in a few months.

| Me with the pregnant ladies...Marina, Megan, and Andrea. |
I am so thankful I am not at the age or stage where I would have a baby. I can't even imagine doing that in a foreign country. Nothing here is easy and shopping for a baby is no exception. I went to the mall to find presents for the shower. First stop was the baby store. Nothing. Next stop was Jusco...the grocery store. Again, nothing special but I had to have something so they all got a baby toy and a big bag of diapers. Pretty lame presents and I feel bad. However, I tried my best to find baby outfits to no avail. Everything was either ugly, white (which doesn't work well in China), Chinese writing on it, or crotchless. Really lady at the store trying to sell me clothes...Do I look like someone who would put crotchless outfits on a baby? I almost laughed out loud when she held them up for me to look at. Oh my goodness it was a stressful shopping adventure. One that I wasn't really expecting. I thought I would be able to find something cute. Nope, not going to happen in TEDA.
The shower was a surprise. When the girls got there they were shocked. It was cute. They were showered with a ton of presents. And yes, they each got a couple crotchless outfits. There was a lot of laughter over this. I can't wait to see these American and Mexican babies in crotchless outfits. That will be hilarious.
