Yes, my friends, you read that correctly! The Wright's are havin' a baby!!!

Now, for the sappy part...
We cannot express to you how much we have appreciated the past 3 years' worth of your support, your prayers, your kind words, your thoughts, your willingness to grieve with us, to get frustrated and angry with us, to laugh with us and to lift us up. We have had the most supportive and loving families and friends through this incredibly difficult journey. We have so appreciated those of you who have asked about how things are going, offered support or just an ear and a shoulder. You will never know the amount of gratitude that we have. Thank you!!

We have tried very hard to remain positive through these 3 long years. We always tried (though we can't claim to have been perfect) to be excited and joyful about the news of friends' pregnancies. We tried to see the bright side and tried to remain hopeful that our day would come. We have enjoyed being newlyweds, getting to travel, and truly settling into what we think is a pretty amazing marriage. We enjoyed the financial freedom and the ability to create a stable and loving home for our future children, not only financially, but also emotionally and maritally. But you all know that we had one teeny tiny, yet oh-so gigantic, missing piece, that, as much as we love Kowe and Luke, two little dogs just couldn't fill.

There are few things that will test a marriage like infertility. It is straining in every way imaginable...emotionally, spiritually, physically, romantically, financially...it is not an easy road. But we like to think we did it with a little bit of grace. We have said all along that WHEN it happened, we would know it was RIGHT, and it was perfect. Today, we would not take back one day of our journey....not one day, one tear, one breath, one dollar. Because today, we are overjoyed and humbled that we have been blessed with OUR miracle baby. THIS is the baby that we have waited for. THIS is our precious gift and we can say unequivocally that THIS baby was worth every moment of the wait. Our difficulties have only made this pregnancy that much sweeter. We think we're able to appreciate it on a deeper level, to anticipate with greater understanding of the blessings we have been given, and to celebrate in a way that we would not have been able to do had we gotten pregnant on our honeymoon as we had hoped all those years ago. Don't get me wrong, we would certainly have been overjoyed, but I just mean to say that we are thankful for everything we have learned, the friendships we have built, the support and unconditional love we have seen from others and from each other. We would not have known those things without this struggle. There has never in the history of mankind been a MORE wanted baby! And there have never been two people MORE in love with a little kidney bean-sized sweetheart.

SO....that's that! We're pregnant! Roughly 8 weeks as of this past Monday and we heard the heartbeat tonight. We are due in mid-July and we're on cloud 9!
