Almost there

This week has been very hectict. First, I have been trying to finish most of my project because I am planning on taking a five day leave after the babies are born. Second, Jan 11 was the deadline for MBA application to Cornell and there has been an increase in the number of applicants from this part of the world, so I have been interviewing quite a lot.

Nohemi's mother came from Mexico to help us with the babies, we are most gratful for her help and the kids are very happy to spend sometime with Grandm (Abuelita Mimi).

Today we went to see the doctor and he said the babies are ready, so we have schedule the delivery for next Tuesday. He said their size is OK and it's time. After the seeing the doctor, the kids and I went to shop for some baby items we were still missing. We walked on Orchard Road, the best known street in Singapore. It is full of fancy stores, restaurants and cars. As usual, we saw plenty of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Masserati's and even a Ferrari. We went to a department store called Takashimaya and we found most of what we wanted. We also visited a shopping mall exclusively with children stores. The twist, however, is that there are several brand names stores that I have never seen elsewhere: There is a Ralph Lauren Kids, Dolce & Gabana, Armani, etc. I guess designer-clothing kids stores are good business in Singapore.
