Borrowed time
Claire Curtis, 30, from Plymouth, hopes her kids will remember her no matt er what.
Pulling the biggest frown I’d ever seen, my three-year-old daughter Millie was very unhappy indeed. It was September 2017, and my partner Tom, 34, and I had just told her she was going to have a baby brother.
‘I wanted a sister!’ she wailed.
Millie loved dressing up as Rapunzel and had dreamed of a little sister who would swish beside her in a princess costume.
‘You can still play games with your brother,’ Tom laughed.
When Charlie was born in February 2018, Millie changed her tune – she was besotted!
But giving birth to Charlie hadn’t been easy.
‘I can’t seem to push very well,’ I said to Tom during labour.
