Baby Star gets her first shots.

Waiting our turn. The medical care the kids got for the birth of the baby was not free, but government subsidised. The pre-natal visits, the c-section plus the three days Yue Li was in the hospital cost around $1300.00, as I understand it. Yue Li's father paid for this, she tells me that is customary for the woman's parents to do that.









Daddy stands in line with the paper work.













One of four sets of daddy-mommy-baby-grandmas that I saw, not including us. With the one child per couple policy here, each baby here in China is cherished.














Daddy reassures baby - it'll be over in a flash...










Check out Skyler's face - YOU'D BETTER NOT HURT MY BABY!

I don't take the final picture for fear the flash will make the nurse jerk - you all know the ending to this story. Baby wails, parents console.
