Allie that is such a fantastic, inspirational story

I'm so glad you got your named midwife, not that you needed her

. And what a lovely, special name.
I LOL'd at your BFF thinking she was a boy - we knew Jacob was a boy and they had a boy hat all prepared for him when he came out, but said we could confirm it ourselves. I remember the midwife lifting him slightly off my chest to show me so I could confirm and because of what I'd read about girl bits getting swollen and looking like boy bits, I said "Is it a girl?". I think they all thought I was bonkers
Anyway, congratulations, you're an absolute star.
