You’re going to be a big sister,’ me and James told our daughter Freya, now 10 – something she had been patiently waiting for.
And I mean the good news opened a can of worms – she had plenty of questions to ask that meant a lot of awkward moments for us as parents!
Telling our family and friends quite early on, we were all over the moon
