Think Pink

I never dreamed that I would love the color pink so much. We just found out we are having a GIRL and I've been dreaming in pink ever since. GiRl gIrL GiRl!!! I'm so excited and can hardly contain myself. Joel and I really didn't have a preference for the sex of the baby but I can't help but feel spoiled to decorate and pick out all the cutest, girliest things possible. Joel doesn't share my pink enthusiasm but he's more then ecstatic that we are having a girl.

I'm 19 weeks pregnant right now and starting to show. Just the other day I felt our baby girl moving around in my belly. She is 1/2lb right now so I'm figuring as she's growing and getting bigger she's most likely getting restless or just checking out the space. I'm looking forward to feeling bigger movements as she grows and tires of being in my belly.

So now we get to start some real planning. Any tips out there? Decorating ideas, baby necessities, where to shop? In the mean time I've been reading up and taking notes from fellow moms. I've let Joel know that I want to paint the baby room pink. I'm trying to ease him in to all the girl things to come, although he's in for some big changes either way. We even got our first pink outfit! Joel seems to be ok with this one. :)

Thanks Nick and Nikki!!!!

I find myself often thinking about how much this little girl is going to love him and look up to him. Then I think about how Joel is going to be such an awesome dad and fall in love with the color pink just like me.
