Tavan holding Dimitri for the 1st time

This video was shot just mere minutes after walking in the door. Tavan was so excited that Dimitri was home and he couldn't/wouldn't wait to hold him! I love my two little boys so much and am so grateful that i get to be their mommy!

Dimitri Daniel Morgan

He is here!!! I went in Sunday evening (7pm) to the hospital. I didn't think that I would be staying but went in anyway just to be sure and to get checked and it wasnt until about 1 a.m. that we knew ,for sure, we were not leaving anytime soon. After laboring all night i got my epidural around 7 and at 9:05 Dimitri made his entry. Both Grandma's were present for the birth ( I wasnt planning on them being in the room, but when it came time I changed my mind) I was so nervous that my mother was not going to make it, but just in time she walked into the room and I was so relieved she made it. I only had to push for about 10-20 min again which is good because after being up all night, im not sure i could have done much longer!! Dimitri weighed 7 lbs and 3 oz and was 20 in. long. While I was holding him later i made a comment about him being bigger than his brother, but to not tell Tavan that and Dimitri smiled the biggest smile...it had my mom and I laughing so hard (awesome timing gas bubble..)

Because of the R.S.V. season, anyone under the age of 13 was not allowed back into the rooms. This meant that Tavan was not allowed to come back and see his brother. This was the hardest part of the whole hospital stay for me. Ricky did show Tavan his baby brother through the window. I was not able to witness the "showing" but both grandmas were there. Paula got a video of it, and my mom got some photos

While we were in the hospital we had visitors and such. it was about as exciting as staying in the hospital can get =0 although I did get to talk to Jason! He was flying to Bulgaria and while they are in the airport he gets to make phone calls. so I got to talk to him and tell him he was an uncle again!=D We ended up having to stay an extra day because Dimitri had an episode of low blood sugar and they wanted to keep him longer because he was a little early, but long story short(and because i dont want to ramble on and on)....Dimitri is fine and doing quiet well. The day finally came were we got to leave =) Tavan was so excited when i called and told him that mommy was coming home with Baby brother.

Tavan holding him for the first time. I also have a video that i will try to post another day

the first complete Morgan family photo!

Dimitri is a good baby. I know he is only (almost) 2 weeks old, but he is awesome. He sleeps alot right now and eats about every 3-4 hours which is manageable compared to Tavans every 2hrs =) Tavan is doing well with his brother. His tantrums are bigger but thats expected while he adjusts. He is very helpful with Dimitri and wants to hold him all the time. He also is constantly telling us that "dimitri is his best friend" or "baby brother is so tiny and cute". Ricky loves his two boys and has been such an awesome support for me. I love him more and more every day =) As for me, I am doing well. I feel almost completely back to normal =) and im already back in my pre pregnancy clothes which makes me happy!!! I am so glad that Dimitri is here and he just fits perfectly into our little family! I love all my boys!!

Easter 2012

yes, I am way behind in blogging but better late than never! This years easter celebration started a few days before Easter for us. The local Rec Center does an Easter egg hunt in the pool for kids in the community. We weren't going to take Tavan until one of his friends invited us to go with them. Reagan and Tavan had fun even though it was CRAZY! there were so many kids there in the kiddie pool area. Tavan found one egg and then collected two others from friends. after the hunt they let the kids play in the pool for a little while and it wasn't until then that we realized that the Morgan cousins were all there as well, so i think its pretty good that we went.

waiting patiently for it to start

daddy and Tavan splashing afterwards

after the egg hunt we went home and colored easter eggs. Tavan is still a little young for the concept but Ricky andI didnt want to miss the opportunity to let him try. He did better than we expected and enjoyed making the eggs turn colors and putting on his "cars" stickers

all the eggs he colored

On Easter Sunday we decided to go to the grandmas ward for church (both parents are in the same ward) we met up with my mom at the park here in town and Tavan hunted for some eggs (as well as JoD) Tavan loved looking for all the eggs and Ricky enjoyed hiding some for Jo D to try to find

apparently the easter bunny is really tall and can hide Jo Ds eggs in super sneaky places =) Rick even put some way up in the trees and Jo D had to climb up them to find them all....it was mildly amusing
