last night, “C” texted me to ask if we’d come up with a name yet.<\/p>\n
I replied with the name we’d been talking about earlier that evening (and no, I won’t tell you what the name is, so stop trying to guess!).\u00a0 We’d realized that this name, while it wasn’t either of our #1 favorites (which we’ve each stubbornly stuck to for WEEKS!), was a name we both liked equally well and could see maybe fitting on this kid.<\/p>\n
So, I texted her the name and waited for a reply.<\/p>\n
Minutes ticked by and I started feeling anxious.\u00a0 No reply.<\/p>\n
Half an hour went by, no reply.\u00a0 Is this the whole, “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all” thing? Does she hate the name?<\/p>\n
Two hours went by.\u00a0 Still no reply.\u00a0 I’m in the tippy top branches of the crazy tree at this point, convinced that she hates the name and is going to raise the baby herself because these two nincompoops can’t even pick a good name, so how on earth could they take care of a child?<\/p>\n
By 11:00, I’d done my best to shove these thoughts aside and get over it. We could come up with another name.\u00a0 Back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n
At 11:20, on a whim, I checked my phone, just in case I’d missed the ring.<\/p>\n
She’d replied at 7:23 (right after my text–my phone just hadn’t rung for some reason).<\/p>\n
She likes the name too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
