Sorry it's taken me so long to get back on here... we ended up having quite a full-on weekend.

Okay, where do I start?

Well, last Thursday (as I mentioned) was DH's and my 4 year wedding anniversary. DH surprised me by taking the day off . He went out and got pastries for breakfast, and also came back with a big bunch of flowers. DH came into Rock & Rhyme with Oliver and I too, which was nice.
Friday was my birthday, and DH had that day off too. In the morning we went to the pool so DH could finally see Oliver in the water. That was fun. In the afternoon we went for a drive. That night we had a couple of friends and my family over for cake. Got some good presents: DH I got a fancy nappy bag which I'd been after... but the colour of the bag was completely different to how it looked online (a beige/stone colour rather than the white/cream it looked). So, we've sent it back. I also got some nice coasters, a decorative paperweight, a necklace, a book, a willow tree angel figurine, and a few gift vouchers.
On Saturday I was preparing myself to leave Oliver for the first time. DH and I were going out for lunch for my birthday/our anniversary, and leaving Oliver with my parents while we went. We took Oliver there, dropped him off and were driving to the cafe for lunch... then I got a phone call. Arimeh (from here on BB) had gone into labour and I had promised to watch her two kids while she gave birth... From the sound of it, Arimeh was mid-contraction when she called! So, DH and I drove straight to Arimeh's house. Poor Arimeh was well and truly in labour when we got there! DH and I looked after her two kids A and M, and after an hour or so DH went and picked Oliver up, and also brought my sister back with him. So, that worked out well - we just took a kid each . It was about 2pm when we went there, and about 4.5 hours later we got a message from Arimeh saying the baby had been born!!! She had a little girl . Her DH came back at 8pm so we could go home.
On Sunday we bought presents for Arimeh and her new bub, then in the afternoon we were lucky enough to go and meet the new baby - she wasn't even a day old! OMG - I can't believe how small she was. You forget don't you.
Which brings us to today. Today I've been busy catching up on housework, doing a few jobs in town, and dropping off some food to Arimeh.

I honestly feel like I need another weekend to recover - I'm so exhausted.

Sorry no personals right now - I'm quite tired. I'll be back to do them tomorrow .
