Congrats to Joe and his wife Heather!  They are expecting their first child together this spring.  "After trying to have a baby for so long, we are thrilled to announce that I am pregnant," Heather says.  Joe adds, "I have to give all the credit to my wife - she has been a trooper through all of this, and I am so happy."  The new baby will join half-sister, Ashelyn.
