Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...It's a GIRL! :)

We had such a good experience at the dr yesterday! We got right in to see the ultrasound tech, who did lots of measurements of the baby - we got to see the heart beating (strong heart!), and see little arms, legs, hands, feet, spine...she was being quite the little squirmer. I had to go empty my bladder at one point in hopes that the baby would move so the tech could get a better angle of her head. Then of course we got to find out "its" a "she"! Daniel and I were both ecstatic! And still are!
We went right away to Home Depot and picked out our paint color - pink, pink, pink. Still the same plan for pink on top of the molding, chocolate brown on the bottom. I will post pictures when the room is ready for display. Our families were very excited to learn the news as well. I like that there will now be two boys, two girls on my parent's side, and on Daniel's side two boys and one girl. I am sure she will be loved, adored, and spoiled by all! (Not least of all her parents).
I also got to ask my doctor a few more questions about concerns we have had about the hospital we will be delivering at - Paradise Valley Hospital. She has pretty much alleviated any and all fears, and I know we still need to arrange for a tour so it's not completely unfamiliar territory, but we are pretty settled with the idea. I have really enjoyed having Daniel with me for the last two appointments - this was his first time seeing little Chloe through ultrasound, and he was just amazed. It's one thing seeing it in movies, or seeing pictures of the children of friends and family, but it is life-changing to see your own creation up there in all her full glory.
We are at just about 20 weeks, so only 20 more to go. It feels like ages away! Everyone says it will fly by, and I can only hope. Can't wait to hold this little bundle in my arms and get her out of my ever-expanding belly!
