Cherish had a girl!!! The name James Edwin is safe for now! lol. So far the emotions have yet to hit me (and hopefully won't...). We saw them at church Sunday morning. They dropped us off in the church van around 1pm. I asked Cherish what she is doing this week "Nothing." was her reply. In fact she considered inviting us over to hang out at their place later on Sunday, then thought of having no idea what she'd feed us for dinner. Anyways... We went our separate ways. I napped. Jared and I watched a movie. And Cherish? She had a baby! At about 9pm I got a text saying that they had a baby girl! She's 8lbs 13oz, 20inches long. I was shocked! When we left them at 1pm I thought *it'll probably be a few more days before this baby gets here*. And then... She's here?!
Soooo excited that it is a girl! I was really starting to worry about that whole James Edwin thing... Plus I just wanted her to be wrong. Am I a bad friend for that? It just bugged me sooo much that she could get pregnant and "just know" that she was pregnant. Where every time my period is late I'm counting down the days until I'll let myself take a pregnancy test. But her? No she just knew. She made her announcements before ever having taken a test. Don't think she took a test until the doctor had her use one to confirm things. I don't know how well I could have handled it if she "just knew" it was a boy. Oh and now I still have a chance of having a boy before her, right? lol. I really do have plenty of other good reasons for being happy it's a girl, (Ellie has a sister close to her age, Ellie has a roommate, can wear Ellie's hand-me-down clothes, etc.) but I imagine you know what it's like having your infertile reasons for such things as well.
Anyways, around 11pm I got the text that they had picked out a name for her, Abbegayle Elyse. I'm guessing she'll go by Abby. I dreamed last night I already got to meet little Abby, and she was a chubby baby! I haven't seen any pictures yet (though I've been checking facebook often). And I have no idea when we'll be invited to come over and meet Abby. But I think I might be looking forward to meeting Jon and Cherish's baby this time. At least this time I didn't get a phone call with all the baby coos in the background.
