Out magic Matilda - Bella Magazine

This is the story all about how a little girl called Matilda found her way into the world and changed the lives of everyone who was lucky enough to know and love her. Mum Leanne had three children already and was so sure she didn't want any  more that she was sterilised. Years later, Leanne remarried and her new hubby didn't have kids of his own. Could Leanne have her sterilisation reversed? Luckily, yes, and not only do the happy couple now have Matilda, but they have another baby on the way too!Leanne had seen me post lots of my stories for the Down's syndrome community on Facebook and had always wanted to tell her own. I was so pleased when she got in touch and told me her amazing story - it was an honour to write about Matilda, the little champion.In this week's Bella magazine. Please get in touch if you've got an amazing family story you'd like to share!
