Its A Girl!!!!

I feel like it's too good to be true. I have everything I have always dreamed of and yet I somehow don't deserve it. A beautiful home, the perfect family of 4; great husband, an amazing son, and now a daughter. Wow. I have been so blessed.

All of the Grandparents and even 2 Great Grandmas made the trip out to the 4d ultrasound on October 1st. Her name will be Skyler Dawn Ehrlich. If you remember, we had the name picked out if Hunter turned out to be a girl. No need for reconsidering the options, we both still love the name Skyler. Dawn is after my Grandfather, Donald, who we lost just 3 months before Hunter's birth. Her due date is still March 23 but after discussing with my doctor, we have decided to induce labor 2 weeks early as long as her lungs are mature. So it looks like it will be the beginning of March sometime, and it will be planned, which is great since we have been worrying about Chase's work schedule with him working out of town so much. A huge weight lifted off our shoulders.






We are all moved into our new home and loving it. Chase has been hard at work with our overgrown landscaping every weekend and takes a lot of pride in what he's accomplished. We are unpacked and organized but the house still looks totally empty. Its funny how every place we have lived in so far, there was not enough room for all of our stuff and now we have the opposite problem... It will take us a while to completely furnish it, but its a challenge I will happily take. I have started on the Hunter's Neverland room and as soon as I am done, we will be putting him in his own big boy bed. Skyler's Wonderland nursery will be next and then the guest bedroom. One project at a time, I need to remind myself.

I forgot to mention last month that Hunter got a new cousin, Logan Scott Needle. He was born to Chase's cousin, Tim and his wife Mandi, from Menifee on August 24th. We also added another baby to my mom's side of the family, Chelsea Lynn Converse was born on September 9th to Jonnie and Keriann, who live down in San Diego. Hunter will be so glad to have new playmates at family parties now :)

Heres a few cute pictures of when we took Hunter to the LA county fair this month:
