Expecting Someone?

We are! Jess and I are proud and excited to announce the impending arrival of the little bundle just barely visible in the eight week ultrasound seen above. The due date is October 11th, although I must admit that I wouldn't mind if it was a week earlier so that it might fall on my birthday, October 4th. The ultrasound was a rather surreal experience, especially because we were able to see a tiny beating heart. It is hard to believe that a baby the size of a lima bean has a fully functioning heart, a heart that must be no bigger than a grain of sand. Truly it is a miracle!
