Sunday 7th October - The day before our 2nd Induction DayTheodore Edward Dungey arrives at 3.56am on 10th October weighing 6lb 10oz. He is suffering from severe respiritory problems. After 5 hours of hard work by Theodore and the doctors, we all agree that our little boy has tried his best and decide that he should spend his last few minutes on earth in the arms of his Mummy and Daddy.
He's here!
Mummy has her first long-awaited cuddle.Joy and Sadness

Theo has very short forearms and legs as predicted in scans. Mummy thinks that this makes him even more special and beautiful!Shortly after, Theodore peacefully leaves to be with his Heavenly Father. Mummy and Daddy are filled with sadness but agree that Theo is now in the best place waiting for them.

God has surely blessed your family!
Theo, chubby cheeks and all is amazing! His precious face! I wish I could have been there. To hold him, even for a passing moment.
I still get so very sad, but I got a chance to know him and that makes me feel better.
It is nice to see all of your family!! Thank you for sharing with us!!!!
Love to all!
Absolutely precious,
Thanks for the photos, my daughters got so excited when I showed them the pictures, and Tonya I have to agree about those little cheeks!!,
Nicole (5years) said he must be real busy in heaven playing with all the other little babies.
We know god has great plans for you... and you are in our thought and prayers.
Love Charmaine and the girls

Cried my way through this one for sure. Having trouble seeing the keyboard to type. A very beautiful boy and a very beautiful family. Thank you Lord for Theo.
Thank you for sharing pictures of your lovely little boy. Have to say Clare, I'd forgotten quite how big you were while you were carrying Theo!
Thank you also for sharing the Southwold picture, a very beautiful picture of a very special place.
I know I am rubbish at being in any kind of contact, but I do think of you and pray for you all often.
Much love

I only know you through reading your blogs, but I can't help but have tears. I found you a while ago from Tonya's site and I have been following your blogs. I have an almost 7 month old baby boy with Achondroplasia. You two are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing all of your joys and sorrows with us! I applaud you!

What great pictures! I can't imagine how bittersweet that day was for your family. You get to meet the child you've been anxiously awaiting, yet you also have to say goodbye.
It's nice to think that maybe Theo and Avery are watching over all the LP kids. Knoah, Owen, Owen V, Kaela, Liz, Cole, Bryan, Leah, Aiden & all the other wonderful LP babies....they all have a very special guardian angels.
