Changes are happening in The Choat's house

It's official, we have been to our first prenatal appointment and have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. The due date as of right now is January 18, 2010.
There are so many feelings going on right now. It has seemed unreal that we are expecting a baby because I haven't been sick, and other then my growing ( once was) waistline, I have had no other symptoms of being pregnant.
Yesterday, on our way to the prenatal appointment, I started to cry as I was overwhelmed with emotions and how this will effect Chloe. I have heard that this feeling is very, very common and I find much relief in knowing I am not the only mom to worry about this. Chloe is my sidekick and she never leaves my side, which of course has it's pro's and con's. I think and know that with adding a little brother or sister, it will be adding to Chloe's life as opposed to taking away from her.
On the brighter side, we are so excited to have a new little baby to add to our family. Looking back at pictures of Chloe, it seems like just yesterday that she was born and we get to go through that all over again.

Mid-July to late July, we are moving into a duplex in Orono, MN. We couldn't be more thrilled and look forward to getting the heck outta the apartment. As much as I love Chanhassen, it is getting very busy and with having Chloe running around, we look forward to a more quiet, secluded area. Not to mention, going back to my home town. I went to Orono schools until I was in 7th grade, so I know the area very well.

The summer will be very busy, but it will be so exciting!!!!

Exciting changes!

Over Mother's Day weekend we found out that Chloe is going to be a BIG sister in January. We couldn't be more thrilled to be adding to our family.
I am so thrilled that not only do I get to experience pregnancy again, but that we get to share it with Chloe this time around.

Our little Genious!

In the past two weeks, Chloe has seemed to amazed Mike and Me more and more everyday.
First it started off with Chloe being able to correctly identify the numbers 0-9.Then she knew how to put them in the correct spot in the puzzle.
Chloe's vocabulary is growing with and every day ( as well as her temper). I can actually hold a conversation (short and sweet one on that matter) with her and quickly learned that there is absolutely NO reasoning or compromissing with a 20 month old.
The first nice day of Spring, Chloe was beyond happy to be outta the house and be playing outside, so much that in the first couple hours of being "free", she managed to scrape up both of her knee's, get a splinter on the bottom of her foot, as well as having a blister on both feet. She loves to play at the park and now thinks that she is so cool because she goes down the slide all by herself.
The only way to get her to leave the park willingly is to bribe her with a ride around in daddy's mini cooper with the top down. If the weather is a little bit chilly, Mike or I will reach back to touch her hands to see if she is cold, she snaps her hand back and says " I FIIIIINNNNE" then proceeds to have the biggest smile on her face the whole ride through.
Chloe LOVES to play with her Uncle "BoBo" ( Kristopher), Her Gomma, Aunt Tawa(Tara), Grady, Hailey, Bella and who ever she manages to charm at the park.
Mike and I bought a pass to the MN zoo and are looking forward to teaching Chloe about all the animals...... She is like a little sponge, ready to take in more information.
Stay Tuned for the latest on our family!!!
