has this pregnancy gone by super fast for anyone else? I still honestly think that I am just barely in my second trimester, but im not. On Wednesday I hit the 30 weeks mark and it hit me....should this pregnancy go like Tavans did...Dimitri will be here in 7 Weeks (6 1/2 to be exact!) That is so soon and even though we have everything, I don't feel ready for it yet! Everything is going great and I start to have my appointments every two weeks now. I am only "done" being pregnant at night. My body structure is not made for all the pregnancy weight and so I have been having some pretty painful hips. It seems like I night I can barely roll over without Ricks help and in the morning I am just a stiff board, but after some stretches and my occasional yoga i feel better :) Dimitri gets the hiccups often. They are tiny and come very rapidly. Its an odd sensation but Ricky thinks its funny. Half the time the hiccups scare the poor little guy and each time he hiccups, he kicks...so on one side of my belly we have "hiccup" and the other, we see a foot kick or whole belly jumps. Sort of amusing....slightly painful..
In other news, we started potty training with Tavan last week. We haven't really "cracked down" lately (thats next week when I don't have to work at all) but he knows enough to tell us when he has to go and whatnot...and he is doing awesome!! I am so proud of him, but sad that my baby is growing up :(
Also, this weekend (at this very moment in fact) Ricky is working on building our boys bunk beds! I am so excited. As soon as we knew we were having another boy, we knew bunk beds were in our future and since Tavan needs a bed frame now, we figured we may as well just get the bunk beds now. WE looked around online and in some stores but we just couldn't find beds that we liked (sturdy enough for 2 Morgan boys, good quality, etc...) After looking online I found some bunk beds on Ana Whites DIY website and after talking to Ricky we decided that he was going to build them and in the process save about $300.00. We are pretty jazzed. Another bonus is that we still have A LOT of stain left over from when Rick refinished Tavans cabinet, so everything in the boys room will match perfectly (pet peeve of mine). Rick is pretty excited to build his boys beds but mostly to do some wood working. He loves to build things so it will be good for him :)I will post pictures of the project once its finished.

Happy 28th Ricky!!!
We have lots of birthdays in Feb!!!
on the 25th Ricky turned 28! WE had close family and friends over for some cake and ice cream that night and just visited. We spent the Thursday before down in Junction to spoil Ricky and get his CDL renewed so we decided to celebrate with just us then.
Ricky had to work day shift at the mine (6a.m.-4p.m.)on his actual b-day, so i surprised him after work with some Ribs for dinner. They are his favorite and I have never made them before , so Saturday morning i looked up a recipe, went to vernal and got what i needed then whipped some up in the crock pot, just for him..... I had my family come over early since there was more than plenty for them and the ribs turned out pretty decent if i do say so myself =D
I meant for someone to take a family photo of the 3 (ok 4) of us but that didnt happen :( Its ok though because we have had a lot of pictures taken recently with Jasons farewell and whatnot....Here are 2 pictures I did take from that night though :)
Tavan helped me set up and get everything ready during the day. He even went with me to the store to help pick out the paper plates and what not....so yes, Ricky did have Mickey Mouse plates...but he rocked them!!
I love you Ricky!!

For Jason!
On Wednesday February 15th we dropped Elder Jason Stults off at the MTC for his mission to Sofia, Bulgaria.Jason is the first of my brothers to go on a mission and dropping him off was a little rough for us! Tavan and Jason have an awesome relationship and Tavan was not OK with him leaving. Whenever I have needed anything, and Ricky hasn't been around to help, Jason has been there for me. When he first said he put his papers in to go, I was OK with it because "we really aren't 'THAT' close"...little did i know that we are a lot closer than i thought. Im doing pretty good, but it has only been a week and he is still in Utah. We will see what happens when he gets to Bulgaria!
My family had a big get together for his farewell and it was fun to get to see everyone. Here are some pictures leading up to the big event!!
On January 28th Jason went through the temple for the first time and Ricky, myself and Tavan went with( well Uncle JoD watched Tavan while we went through).
all of us that went with him
The Morgan Family :)
Next up was "the big event". Before church on Sunday, everyone got together for some family photos.
The "Originals"
right before the photos someone mentioned that every time we take a big family photo one of us is pregnant....so Dimitri stole the spotlight for just a moment....
Everyone that came. All of us kids (with spouses and kids), the Stace and Jan Duval family (minus Dylan), Grandma Dena and Regina Stults
My favorite picture from the whole weekend....Jason and Tavan. We printed this one out for both Jason and Tavans room. Tavan looks at it daily and loves to point out Uncle Jason
and of course one more of my cute little family :)
after church we had everyone at my moms for some food and played some games while we visitied before everyone started to head home. Because I wasn't working, I was able to go with some of my family on Tuesday to Provo, to drop Jason off on Wednesday.Tuesday night we all went to dinner at Tucanos. It was Valentines day so I got to have a dinner date with Tavan and my family. I think I had the cutest date in the whole building! He even gave me the rose that the waiter handed to him :)
Wednesday morning went by so fast and before we knew it, we were loading up in James' Rental car and taking Jason to the MTC
just moments before.....the drop off committee
Tavan and I, Jared and Jenny (Tim Duval's twins that are Jasons age and going to school in provo)Jason, Guy, Cindy, James and Grandma Dena
My last actual hug from Jason for two years!
Tavans hug...
while we drove off Tavan continued to call out for "Jason, come back here" until he fell asleep. It broke my heart and it was the hardest part for me :( Luckily he hasn't been saying it much anymore, but i know that he misses him!
we are pretty excited for Jason and all the experiences that he is going to have in Bulgaria!
