This idea came to me suddenly: why wouldn’t I join the shaved head challenge?  For those among you who don’t know, this challenge is to raise money for children battling with cancer.  So I’ve set a price for my head: 150$.  I will shave my head if I can raise 150$, and I’ll publish pictures of me, before and after.

My uncle Pierre is actually at the origin of this idea.  He wrote us a while back to let us know that he was part of a group of coworkers that would participate.  So far, they have raised 911$, for 6 heads!  That’s pretty good, right?  Considering I only have less than a week, you’re lucky I set only 150$ for my head: had I been earlier, I’d ask for much more!

As I write these lines, I have pledges for 40$, which is about a third of what is needed.  Please consider contributing!  It’s for a good cause!  Or two: you’ll get to laugh at me!

Here’s some more photos of the little banana, in all her colors;napping, diaper changes (see scrunchy face), exploring, napping again, …and yet a major activity (nursing) is missing. If we can find a tasteful way to take a nursing photo, we will!

I just started smiling last week (about 7 weeks old now)!!! It makes my parents CRAZY happy when I do!

Unfortunately for night-owl Mommy, it usually comes in the mornings, but sometimes she makes me smile too.

I’m all dressed in my great Aunt Madeleine’s gift outfit

and happy to go to the doctors! Dr. Beaudin told me I weigh 8 lbs 9 oz (3,89kg) now and my neck and body tone are growing very STRONG! Watch out baby Oliver Rowe, (born last weekend) I may not be chubby but I’m fit as a fiddle!

Je pense qu’il est temps de vous raconter comment nous est arrivé Éloïse.

Tout a commencé dans la nuit de dimanche le 6 avril.  Vers 4h du matin, Charity s’est réveillée avec des contractions.  Lorsqu’elle s’est rendue compte qu’elles étaient régulières, elle m’a réveillé et j’ai constaté qu’elle était déjà aux 10 minutes, mais très rapidement, vers 5h30, elle est passée aux 5 minutes.  Il était temps pour un bain relaxant, et un petit temps allongé: le seul résultat a été de passer aux 2 minutes.  J’ai appelé l’hôpital et on est entré vers 7h30.

Charity is going into labor. More later!

We walked Montreal’s old port, and I got my in-laws into this awesome costume store. They loved it!

Welcome back to my blog! This is my first post since quite a while. At the moment, I don’t know how often I will post, but I’ve come back online so a lot of people can see… not Charity’s Easter dress, but how is the pregnancy going! So here’s two pictures, taken on Easter Sunday, showing ‘The Belly’ in all its glory.

We’re both very eager to see our little baby!
