Baby Pool Information

Hello all,

I have setup an online baby pool for you to enter in your guesses. As mentioned before, this is a 50/50 split. 50% goes to the winner and 50% goes to the CIBC run for the Cure on October 3rd. Each entry is worth $5. The pool end date is on August 31st. I will require all the entry fees by that date also. Please feel free to invite others to join. We already have 3 guesses! Please keep them coming. I have posted pictures of the baby's ultrasound. Take a very close look at the photos as they may provide some gender clues...tehehe.

Pink or Blue?

Pink or Blue? (Title inspired by Aunt Eleanor)




Happy Tuesday!

Well it was a very exciting weekend. We have two very special visitors from Hong Kong this week. My sister Winnie and my nephew Evan endured a 14 hour long flight from Hong Kong to Calgary! It has been three years since Winnie's last visit. It is wonderful to have them both here.
As you all know, Brenden and I are expecting our first baby in September. We had our first ultrasound on Saturday:) Wow!!! What an amazing experience. It was so nice to be able to share the photos with our families afterwards. Winnie thinks that we are going to have a boy. But my cousin Jacquie's boyfriend Atef had a dream that we are going to have a girl. Brenden also had a dream that we are going to have a girl. The old wives tale needle test revealed that we are going to have a boy. So what are we having? I am just going to keep telling myself that we are having a surprise!!! I must admit that I am dying to find out the baby's gender. Brenden on the other hand, he enjoys the anticipation...boo! I have included a few photos of the ultrasound and let you all to decide what we are having. Take a closer look at the ultrasound photos again because we are hosting a baby pool for Run for the Cure. The pot will be 50/50 split. The winner will get half of the winnings and the other half goes to the CIBC Run for Cure on October 3rd.
We haven't quite hammered out all the baby pool details yet but we will be sure to do a seperate post on the pool information.

Keep checking:)

News and Updates

Hello all,

It has been a long time since we have updated our blog. We have so much to share! We would like to announced that The Geneskirt Divas will be joining forces with the Mayberry men plus a little one (You guessed it! The Mayberry Clan is expecting their first baby in September!) to participate the CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday October 3rd, 2010. In 2009, 56 communities and 170,000 Canadians participated in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. Together, the event raised $26.5 million for breast cancer research, education, and awareness programs. We had great success last year with the Weekend to End Breast Cancer Walk. We feel that this event will be even more special having to do the Run for the Cure with three generations together!

We will be doing our registration this month and we love for everyone to join us to either do the 5K walk or the 10K Run. The participation commitment is very straight forward. You can either raised $150 and no registration fee or just pay the $40 registration fee. Simple and we love it:) Click here for more information.

Well bloggers, that is it for a little while. We promised that we will dedicate a blog post from the 2009 Weekend to End Brest Cancer plus Mark and Vicki-Jean's super fun murder mystery dinner.

Keep blogging!
The Divas
