It all started with a hamburger...

from Burgerlicious on King Street, Newtown to be exact. Back when we were DINKs, living in the inner city, caring about our careers and planning our future when we thought we could travel or do anything. That's when my waters broke. I shuffled into a side alley and gushed with each step toward the car. We headed home. With no contractions, we knew we had to wait....

Once the contractions came, they came fast and furious. No time to 'wait until it's unbearable,' we headed straight to the hospital and withing 4 hours (including 2 hours of pushing!!) Oliver was here.

Tonight, we are celebrating his arrival five years ago, with hamburgers.

 

Yum!!

I never could have imagined how life changing his arrival would be. Withing a few months of his arrival, we knew we wanted have another baby, but the size of our house was limiting. (Also the husband is a tradie and has more tools than any person I know, jack hammer, chain saw, plus a zillion others. We needed a garage!). So one sold house, one quick conception and a move back to the burbs happened.

Now with three kids, my hectic life is so much better than I ever thought it could be.

Happy birthday Oliver! Sorry about the dodgy packet cake, with very little icing and kiddy placed decorations.
