Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted to become a mum. ‘When I grow up, I’m going to have a big family,’ I told everyone.
So when I first met Gary, then 27, in April 2011, I explained my dreams to him.
‘Me too,’ he smiled.
Already a doting dad to two girls, Hannah, then four, and Tegan, three, from a previous relationship, he loved the idea of extending his brood.
We started trying for one of our own and welcomed our beautiful daughter, Matilda, in June 2014.
