RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - The day of 14 January 2017 would be life changing for the Esterhuizen family - even if they didn’t know it yet. 
At the time, the Esterhuizen family, and especially mom of three, Bianca, was yearning for a little girl to add to their family of five. Bianca and her husband, Gerhardt were proud parents of three sprightly young boys, who had filled their house with love and laughter. However, as Bianca explains, her longing for a blue-eyed, blonde little girl would not subside.  “In 2009 I had fallen pregnant for the third time and at 13 weeks we were overjoyed to find out that it was a girl.” After giving birth to two boys, the Esterhuizen house would finally be complete with the pitter-patter of a little girl’s feet.
