Just to let you know that Max Lloyd was born on 24 November and he is just perfect. He decided to arrive a few days earlier than planned so I had an emergency c-section rather than the planned section (planned for 27 Nov). We are both really well and have been at home for a couple of days now. I am still feeling pretty overwhelmed by it all to be honest - he is a beautiful baby (despite bearing a likeness to Winston Churchill from a certain angle!) and I still look at him all day long finding it hard to believe that we have finally got him. It has all been so worth it.<br><br>I will drop a line soon when I have some more time to update you. I would just like to take this opportunity to give you all a huge thank you for all of the support that you have given me throughout our treatment and pregnancy. I am still thinking of old friends who are still undergoing treatment and hoping that you will soon have the success that we have had.<br><br>Lots and Lots of Love<br>Dee, Rob and Max<br>xxxxxx
Dee<br><br>Congratulations!!!!!<br><br>I am so pleased for you both. Max obviously couldn't wait to come into the world a little bit earlier than planned!! It must be lovely to be back at home, if not a little scary?<br><br>Try and rest (if you can) and enjoy all that lovely food you've been slaving over.<br><br>When you get the time!!!! let us know how Max is doing and can't wait to see a photo.<br><br>Once again, I'm so pleased for you all. It doesn't seem that long ago we were worrying over the 2ww and now you have a gorgeous baby boy.<br><br>Take care<br><br>Lots of love JD xx
Well Done Dee<br><br>Pleased to hear that little Max is fine and that you are so happy to have him.<br><br>Hope to hear from you soon.<br><br>Lots of Love<br><br>Have a wonderful xmas with your new family!!<br><br>Lisa (Loonpants)<br>
Dear Dee and Rob,<br><br>At last.....I can't send you a big enough hug to say congratulations!!! They all look like a cross between Winston and ET in the first few weeks but amazingly they turn into the most beautiful creature in the world and I know the fact that you feel so blessed to have them never fades. I still sit in wonder sometimes and just stare at them and thank my lucky stars they are here. Thta is why we IVF mums and dads are so special, we really do value what we have.<br><br>Ditto the advice about getting as much rest as you can, and accept any offers of help you can...and of course look after yourself and Rob, because Max is probably getting spoilt rotten already and you deserve it as much as him.<br><br>Will be waiting on tenterhooks for the photos<br><br>LoL<br>Nicky
hi Dee and Rob,<br>I've already emailed you anyway, but just wanted to add our congrats to the site!<br>Looking forward to a picture and to hearing more<br>love Miriam and Dave x
Hi Dee,<br><br>Wow.....He's here! Huge congrats to you and Rob - I am so pleased Max has arrived safe and sound and you are well too. Just the BEST Christmas present ever....<br><br>We are all fine and are sending you all great big hugs and kisses cyber style! <br><br>Love Sally xxx
Max,<br><br>Welcome to the world, your mummy and daddy must be very proud of you. They've been waiting a very long time to meet you, and have gone through so much for you already. Please let them have some sleep, and make sure that your mummy takes lots of rest to get over her operation.<br><br>Make sure that they send lots of photos to all their cyberaunties!<br><br><br><br>With love,<br><br>Amie and Ben<br>xx
Sarah R<br><br>Your message was so nice it made me have a lovely warm feeling in my tummy. I know I am totally mad.<br><br>Cyber Auntie Lisa Loonpants<br><br>[Edited by Loonpants on 05-Dec-02 17:32]

WOW.........<br> congrats to you both,dee you were the first i spoke to when i joined this site and you were then only a couple of weeks pregnant<br>you were 2 weeks ahead of us and now you got the baby,<br> its a dream aint it come true?<br> best wishes to you & rob.<br> all the best mr wales
Wonderful news. Its fantastic, every time we have a birth anouncement it brings tears to my eyes. We just can't wait to give ours in a few months time (touch wood). We 'special' parents really do appreciate absolutely everything and if you are anything like I'm going to be, you'll be even relishing the sleepless nights because its your own baby whos causing them rather than all the worries we had 'before' I hope that all the girls who are still going through the nightmare of treatment get some hope from all these success' as I did.<br>Love and huge cyber hugs to all 3 of you. xxxxxx
