After 10 years of fertility treatments, countless failed IVF cyclces and four heartbreaking miscarriages (all at around five weeks), my brother phoned me tonight to tell me that he was sitting on his sofa looking at a scan picture of a little tiny being with a strong heartbeat at seven weeks! Its early days but all the signs are good and this is the furthest they have ever come. I am just sending a heartfelt plea for all of you, whatever your beliefs, to send a little prayer or positive thought that this little baby makes it. I really really believe it makes a difference. We've been praying hard ever since the IVF cycle and I dreamt they had a little girl! They will be wonderful parents. So please send a thought of strength and life and hope and love and whatever else to help this most precious little person make it safely into the world.
thanks with the biggest lump in my throat xx

Oh dear Lord - I can barely hold back the tears. This is so incredibly moving and I'm just delighted for the family.

Ooooooh sod it I'm crying again.
Look forward to any updates on Neve the mumsnet baby in time to come. MM don't feel sad that this is the end of your thread, This is only just the beginning of something much better, thank you for shearing the joy of your neice and your family with us.
Neve was meant to be here, to bring joy to her parents after so much heartache, and one day when shes old enough she will see how one small baby touched the lives of so many strangers.
God bless you all.

A very belated 'welcome to the world' Neve!! (had flu, I'm gutted I missed the birth announcement!!). You are a truly beautiful little girl and have inspired and delighted so many of us. You are the most perfect present your family will ever have, may you always know how wholly loved you are.

Congratulations Tone, Katie and MM, I wish I could find the words to convey how pleased I am for you all.

Enjoy every precious, exciting, intense, tiring, milky, cuddly, unique, unforgettable, soft, gorgeous moment. Much love x x x

MarsLady · 18/03/2007 16:20

Wow! What a thread! Absolutely amazing.

Well done NeveBean for making it through. I wish you and your family years and years of laughter and joy.

ps

my mummy found this poem that she wanted to share with you all. It sums up just how her and daddy feel about me:

Before you were conceived, I wanted you.
Before you were born, I loved you.
Before you were here an hour, I would die for you.
This is the miracle of love.

danceswithaSPRINGinherstep · 19/03/2007 07:54

Lovely thread. Many, many congratulations to Neve Bean's mummy and daddy (and aunty and extended strawberry family ) She's beautiful.

Hi. I only found mumsnet yesterday, and this is my first ever post! I have spent an hour and a half reading this thread from the beginning, and of course I am crying my eyes out! What a wonderful family you are, and what a beautiful baby girl! My DB and SIL have been TTC for 7 years now. They have suffered 5 mc, 1 ectopic pregnancy and 1 failed IVF... in June they are going to try egg donation, because a specialist has confirmed that my SIL's eggs are probably the problem. Can't tell you how much I wish them the happy ending that Tony and Kate have had. Your story is inspirational, thank you so much for sharing it. Bless you little Neve, wishing you as much joy as you have brought everyone around you xxxx

MelbourneMum · 23/03/2007 09:25

oh jetpeanut I feel for them and you. Its just so hard and yet my db and sil never gave up and now they have their miracle baby girl. We, and they, always believed they would be parents and they are!
Sending so much love to your family and hopes and prayers for a happy outcome like our precious Neve.

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!

Such a beautiful, beautiful family

Congratulations Katie, Tony, Auntie MM and the whole family.

And welcome to a very loving world little Neve.

Sorry I'm a bit late, but I have been in England for 6 weeks, with no computer. So glad I have come back to wonderful news. Hee hee hee! Will have to go and wake DH up to tell him.

MelbourneMum · 27/03/2007 22:57

Good morning everyone

Autumn is in the air over here so baby Neve-Bean and her lovely mummy and daddy have a good excuse to spend lazy days snuggling up together (not that they need an excuse)

Thank you so much Aunties Strawberry, Tickle, Sensible and DonnyLass for being in touch. Tony and Katie would just love to be able to get in touch directly (cut out the middle MM!) although you won't be rid of me either because I feel like we are old friends now!
In fact this whole thread feels like coming to visit old friends every time I log on. There's just something so warm and welcoming and so much love on here I can't quite drag myself away....

Just bliss this whole thing. I still pinch myself sometimes when I wake up and think of the three of them in their house in Sydney together, waking up and bringing her into bed and smelling that gorgeous newborn smell and holding her tiny hands and wondering 'did she just smile at me?' and all of those moments so many of us have had the exquisite privilege of enjoying. And now they are too, after all this time of dreaming of just those moments, its just perfect!

Neve-Bean is growing and gorgeous and bringing endless joy and sleepless nights to mummy, daddy and Nana!

Wow - what fantastic news (was off-line and missed the birth announcement).

Haven't posted before but have dipped in and out of this thread.

Many many congratulations to all! (More happy tears here in Budapest for them!)

(My little IVF bean is now almost 6 and trying to kick me off the computer!)
