Jess was born in Newcross Hopital in Wolverhampton, just after 9 in the morning. During my pregnancy, many random people would come up to me and say "i don't know why i have to tell you this, but you are going to have a very special child", how right they were. I was amazed with the love that i felt for Jess as soon as i saw her, i new that i would do anything for her. She had lovely long red hair, that was long enough to tie up! I took Jess back to my Mom's as we were still living there, i was glad as i new i could do with advice of my own mom to sort out any worries that i may have. I was a single parent, but that did not bother me as i enjoyed being a mom to Jess. I got used to caring for Jess very quickly. Jess was a very sicky baby, in fact she constantly threw everything up until she could stand up straight. I was always covered in sick, people would have to jump out the way otherwise they would get soaked in sick! Jess, even as a baby wanted to do things very quick, i had a lot of friends with babies a bit older than Jess. She would always copy and want to do the same as them, very determined, even at this age. It was not long before Jess was crawling and she walked at around 11 months. She played a lot with her cousin Sean, she always used to sratch his face if he lay down she would make a bee line for him! Jess always liked to get her own way, and she often did, even at this young age. But she had a sweet way of getting it, a little charmer, who could refuse her! Just before Jess turned one she met her Dad for the first time, he had left Wolverhampton not long after i was first pregnant. He then got in touch at this point to see Jess.
