So Yesterday it was Ruby's birthday. Yay! she turned 5 years old. I wasn't able to make it for her birthday because her mum was taking her somewhere special so i arranged work on that day.
I was laying in bed and i started thinking about the day Ruby was born.
He'res the retrospective events:
So its Friday the 9th of November 2007. After the regular bombardment of telephone calls of frustrated friends asking "Has the baby arived yet?" i decide to go shopping for some shelves as it looks like we're going to be staying at my dad's a few more months and we had no space. Caroline decides to stay at home and I go to Wickses.
In the superstore i get a telephone call saying i should get home as we need to go to the hospital. Caroline stays the night (I'm not allowed) so i go home and build the shelves.
The next day i went in to see Caroline and she was in the delivery room. It was time for some baby action, so the midwife got things going. Caroline had LOTS of that breathy stuff and became fixated on James Bond which was on the Television. The midwife suggested switching it off.
It started getting into the evening, and was dark outside. It feels like it went quickly but it really went for hours. And at 10:10, on Saturday 10-11-07 an 7lb 7 oz lovely baby was born. I held Ruby in my arms for soo long it hurt but it was amazing. I'll never forget the way she looked at me and how i couldnt take my eyes off her, and trying to show Caroline while she was getting attention of her own from the midwife. Luckily i think she was too drugged up enough to know how long that took because it meant i had more time with Ruby, and i was worried about Caroline, but there wasnt much i could do... I cant sew very well.
The numbers of Rubys birth are very odd 10 10 10 11 7 7.
Ironically, the next day i totally forgot remembererence day. I got to the hospital about 10-ish.
on the 11th of november at 11am when the outside world stopped, I was sitting with my new born baby thinking about all the fun times we will have and how much i love her. The outside world didn't matter, only me, my daughter and Caroline.
In 5 years time, Things had changed slightly but what hasn't changed, is that the world still doesn't matter, because Ruby still does and always will. I'm so happy she's 5 now. Yesterday i worked most of the day, and then went to work on my 80's remix project. Not really as eventful as 5 years ago. I think i was watching Jonathan Ross at !0:10 last night.
Anyway He'res a video of Ruby from now :-)... How much she's grown up!
