I can't believe a whole week went by without any posting! After our shopping spree last weekend, I went to Toronto overnight for work on Monday (my new dress was great!) and I had another event in Montréal on Thursday night. For me these days that's enough to wear me out...
Yesterday Stéphane got his hair cut (see photo) then we went to the Disney exhibit at the Fine Arts museum. The new metro stations in Laval were open as of yesterday and all public transport was free so we probably chose the busiest day EVER to go but it was fun anyway. The exhibit is called Once upon a Time Walt Disney: The Sources of Inspiration for the Disney Studios and there was all kinds of original Disney artwork, sketches and films that demonstrated how Disney was a real pioneer in the way that he incorporated so many different European influences into his work. I think my favorite moment was seeing the detailed model for the Sleeping Beauty castle which is at Eurodisney and all the drawings for Peter Pan. Stéphane totally got into the technique of animation in those days. There's a short film that dates from 1937 at the end that shows how the films come together and it's pretty amazing. Stéphane's highlight though was seeing a short film that Disney and Salvador Dali of all people collaborated on. It's very, very interesting. I myself had to step out due to nausea (overdue snack time). We ended up spending a few hours there and really got the full experience. It's interesting to see all this particularly since we'll be in plastic consumer mecca at Disneyland itself in a couple of weeks. The other pictures are of me looking sleepy and hungry (wow, how unusual for me!) and those hearts are on the street outside on the museum.
Last night we watched "Night at the Museum" which turned out to be a lot of fun. I would recommend it when you're in the mood for something light and funny. It's worth it just to see Mickey Rooney deck Ben Stiller...
Nothing much to say on the baby front. I had a doctor's appointment on Thursday, we heard the heartbeat, I gained 6 pounds, all is well. This week we also got the confirmation that baby has a VERY low risk of Down's Syndrome. Since I'm over 30 we did the pre-natal testing (bloodtest and ultrasound that I've already posted) and apparently I have a risk factor of someone around 20! I wasn't too worried about it but it's a relief just the same.
Well, it's another rainy day here in Montréal. I'm off to church then Stéphane and I are meeting some friends for brunch. This should be a pretty quiet week so I'll try to be better with posting!
