My wife and I heard our baby's heartbeat today!!! That was amazing!

(major inside joke, but I can't stop singing it!)
Now that I've told my immediate family, I need to tell the rest of my "family", all of you guys, that my wife Colleen is 6 weeks pregnant! We are both obviously thrilled, and we will have a new little member of the family in time for the holidays...I have been walking around with a smile from ear to ear for days now....Telling everyone has been so much fun! We still can't believe it, this is our dream come true!
