Some things you feel before they happen. Especially when you¹re expecting a baby. I wasn't interested in what it would be, because I knew that it could only be a boy. But when I heard that I really truly was a mummy, and I had a baby girl, it never entered my head that I¹d been expecting a boy, I was just so happy that it was born at last and healthy and when she cried out
I knew that only she could be our child, and no-one else. How could it have been a boy when it was a girl?
