Here’s a little secret I’ve been keeping for a while: I’m going to be a dad. 

In March of this year Yvonne and I tried our second round of IVF and amazingly, thanks to Yvonne’s hard work and strength and the brilliant doctors and nurses, it worked. At 8 weeks we went for our first scan (the picture above is 3 months) and I saw a tiny little heart beating in the darkness. I’ve never felt anything like the emotion I felt looking at that heart beating on the screen, I think it was a mix of love and an overwhelming yearning for that tiny heart to survive, to grow and be strong. 

Yvonne is now five and half months pregnant and mother and baby are doing well. Our new family member will arrive at the beginning of December and we’re looking forward to an amazing Christmas.


P.S. I’ve been writing the entire story of our journey through IVF for about a month now and what I’d initially intended as a post for tumblr, has become something a lot bigger. I think I’ll submit it to some magazines, and if possible, publish it here at a later date.

Now, look at this:

That’s “Paul Mounet”, a french actor, who “died” in 1922.

His body never was found.

Then, look at this:

An unknown man, painted in 1530 by Parmigianino.

Compare them:

He’s a motherfucking vampire

His beard in 2011 even grows the same way as the painting in 1530

The best thing about this is that by 2011 he’s like “Ok it’s been 500 years, safe to grow a beard again now”
