"Soon after we settled in back home we went to visit Nicky's parents; I remember it was a Wednesday. While we were there, they presented us with two adorable carrycots. "Looking back on that day, I can clearly remember going to bed that night, thinking perhaps something was about to begin a wee bit too early. "That next morning, we dashed into the NMH in Dublin, where I discovered I was going into premature labour. "In the early hours of Friday, 20 April, the boys were delivered by emergency Caesarean section, eight weeks prematurely. And so began our journey into the world of precious premature babies. "We're very different as individuals, but we're very close as well. He's my closest, closest friend and companion, and what I love about him is that he’s everything I'm not. "He's so laidback and he makes me feel relaxed in his company, and he's very funny and charming, which I love. I'd probably be more reserved and shyer and a worrier – I’ll say something and then I'll think, "Is that terrible?"
