The latest and greatest...

Here it is...the first picture of our baby bump. I am now 18 weeks along (starting my 5th month). We have had 1 ultrasound and 2 sonograms. The baby's heartbeat is strong and this little one is a mover. We will know what we are having on May 11th (the day after Trent's Bday and Mother's Day). I think I finally felt movement today (or what I think is movement). We are excited because it finally seems real that we'll have a little Staggs here by fall. Sorry for the pic...Trent wasn't home to take it. I think my butt's getting bigger than my belly though

:(

And...I forgot to wish Chewy a Happy Birthday last week. Our current baby is now 1 year old. He is potty trained (no accidents in the past 2 1/2 months) and is seeming to calm down. I guess that little threat of selling him worked!! We love him though. We'll let you know how things go once Jr. is here.

Look how big he's gotten. What a cutie--the little terror is becoming a little angel...for now!

Blah...

That is how I feel right now. There is still this white crap that keeps dumping on us daily when it should be Spring. What?? And...I won't be able to find out the sex of our baby until May 11th--aargh. My friends got to find out at 14 weeks--why not us? Oh well.

The good news is that Trent's job is successful and he has some more opportunities for business growth in other areas; I'm starting to come out of that first trimester fatigue and what-not (happy to say that I only vomited once--on a plane--due to turbulence); Chewy hasn't had an accident in over a month--so he's now not for sale--until there's another problem; my dance groups have been placing awesome at competitions (both drill and studio); and I'm starting to get some Interior Design projects done. I think April should be the beginning of a great spring and summer. The last part of 2009 will be amazing once our little one is here--I think it's a boy, but the fetal heartbeat was 160--some say that it could be a girl--and Trent keeps having dreams about a baby girl. But we'll take either as long as it's healthy!!

Oh...and November is what we are looking at for our family sealing--probably right after a baby blessing. More and definate info on that later.
