Maisie Louise - Definitely worth the wait!

Hi everyone,

Following on from my post "Still Waiting", I just wanted to update you that Maisie Louise was born at 8:58pm on Friday 9th January weighing 8lb 15oz. Mother and baby are both doing fantastically well.

So after quite a wait (9 days overdue), I'd like to introduce Maisie to you all:

Maisie Louise Stenhouse

And here is the baby lounger finally being put to use:

She'll Grow into it

Thanks once again for all the well wishes.

Cheers.

Re: Maisie Louise - Definitely worth the wait!

Only just read the 'Still Waiting' thread and lo and behold, she's here already.

Congratulations mate. She's absolutely beautiful.

And if at all possible, that baby lounger looks way cooler with her in it.

Re: Maisie Louise - Definitely worth the wait!

Fantastic - she's a beauty.

Love that first picture - really nice. I'd better not show the other half the lounger - she'll want another baby just to give her an excuse to buy one!

Congratulations.

Re: Maisie Louise - Definitely worth the wait!

Congratulations Keith, the next 18 years will fly by! My youngest was 19 at the weekend but it seems like last week we were in your position!

Enjoy it.

Not sure about that - I think it's obvious that Maisie Louise gets her beautiful looks from her Mum

Congratulations Keith, and Mrs Stenhouse too, on your new addition. Hope you banked plenty of lie-ins before Maisie arrived.

Re: Maisie Louise - Definitely worth the wait!

Thank you so much everyone for all of your kind comments. Naomi and I appreciate them very much.

I'm sure you'll be seeing plenty of photographs of Maisie over the coming months / years!

Cheers.

Re: Maisie Louise - Definitely worth the wait!

Congratulations, our first was born 8 months ago and I'm loving every minute of being a Dad. One tip, spend the money now before it all vanishes and enjoy whatever sleep you can get......lol, won't be long before you're thinking "that's out of focus", sadly this is usually when you're driving to work after 7 minutes sleep and no amount of post processing will help.....

Enjoy.

Rich

Congratulations to you both, and hello Maisie!

Lovely shots, although you know now she'll only ever sit in Mercedes and Porsche cars after experiencing that chair

Only just spotted this, now that some threads are being moved about the place.
Congratulations! Great times. The time when they stay where you put them are gone all too soon
