July

Huge things happening this month for the Ehrlich family....

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!


After trying for 4 long months, I was shocked to get a positive pregnancy test on July 18th. Shocked, but beyond thrilled and so happy! A few months ago I had bought a shirt for Hunter that said "Big Brother" just for this occassion. So when Chase came home from work, it took him a few seconds of hellos and hugs before he realized what Hunter was wearing. When he realized, he looked at me with big eyes and I nodded with a huge smile. Big family hugs and Chase was on the phone to tell the world the great news. LOL.

I have already gone and done all of my blood work and have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, Aug 5...Chase's birthday. It would make such a special present if Chase could go but he wont be home in time from working in Blythe. He'll get the pictures when he gets home though.

The due date is March 23 2012, which makes me 7 weeks tomorrow. We wont know the sex until October, but we're already dying to know if its the daughter we've been dreaming of or a baby brother for Hunter. We are so thankful for this new blessing and pray for a healthy and happy pregnancy and baby.




Other big news:



OUR NEW HOUSE! Yes, the long and exhausting search is finally over! We just finished negotiations on Aug 2nd and it will be all ours after a 45 day escrow! We have an inspection scheduled for this Sunday and if all goes well, we will start packing! We are so excited and in love with this house, we can't wait to make it our long term home for our new family of 4.



For the rest of the month of July, Hunter flew on his first airplane! We went to Park City Utah for Chase's cousin, Trevor's wedding. July 14-17, and he did great, but we were thankful it was only an hour and a half flight. The wedding was beautiful and we had a great time being with all the family and swimming in the hotel pools.








Another big milestone, Hunter is potty trained! He still has accidents here and there, but overall he's doing really well and he likes being a big boy and going in the potty. We still have him sleeping in his crib so he still wears diapers at night, which I am fine with for now. I've been so tired lately I don't want him to start coming to wake us up in the middle of the night yet. One thing at a time. :)

Also just finished swimming lessons today. He likes the water and splashing, kicking, blowing bubbles, and paddling. Does NOT like to be dunked under water or splashed in the face. But a success overall, he's doing great.
