Well, long time readers of the blog know this is a long time coming. After five years of trying, two VERY early miscarriages, and even lost money trying to do it the artificial way, we are going to have a baby. Words cannot express the joy we are experiencing right now. We found out a few weeks ago and this past Wednesday, we were able to see our baby's heartbeat on the ultrasound monitor. We know we have a long, difficult time ahead of us, and in fact, we have already had plenty of scares, but at this moment in time, everything is fine with the world.
We started telling our folks on Wednesday, told some friends last night, and broke the word today. How fitting that the news many have been waiting to hear comes out on such an important day. Day 100 of my photo project, and even more importantly, today, September 5th, 2009, is the 20th anniversary of the day Jessica and I met. Sure, when we met on that first day of 6th grade 20 years ago, we never could even remotely imagine how our futures would end up at this moment, but it's funny how things work...

Goosebumps and tears... That is all I can say. Love you both!!
I love you so much, Manuel. Happy everything - 100th photo day, 20th anniversary day, baby announcing day. I'd rather experience this life with nobody but you.
Words can't properly express how happy we are for you both. We are excited and hopeful that everything goes well during the pregnancy and beyond. You will certainly be the sort of parents this world needs more of, and you deserve every bit of the joy you must be feeling. Congratulations on every milestone you are celebrating today, but most of all on this most wonderful development.
And by the way, this is an awesome shot that absolutely speaks volumes, while at the same time being very cool!

Well, that did it. Going through so many emotions since we found out, but this is the first time I've actually cried. I think the love and support from everyone is what makes it extra special. Many, many more things to say, but I know you know what we are feeling. I love you both so, so much and you will make the best parents ever - well, besides us. Happy 100, happy 20, and just happy...!
