    Yes, as the previous answer suggested, learning American Sign Language, I believe, is an excellent idea. It's extremely important that she has a language basis - any language basis - as she grows, as this will help her in learning, reading, and writing other languages in the future.
    I am not an expert on children's education, however, I have learned a LOT since taking classes on Deaf culture and sign language. My suggestion is for you to become educated about this, as well, as it is quite likely that ASL will be your daughter's natural and most comfortable language if she turns out to be hearing impaired - not definitely, but quite likely.
    I hope this helps.
