Waiting

My medical records were reviewed and everything looked good.  The only thing I need to do is get a current pap and start birth control pills (BCP), so I have an appointment for next week to get that taken care of.

I believe my profile was sent to the potential IPs on Monday night.  Last night the coordinator emailed me to let me know she was waiting to hear back and said she would follow up with them at the end of this week.  I'm so nervous waiting!  I want them to like me, and the longer I wait the more I'm afraid they don't want to work with me.

Now the logical part of me understands that it takes time to make such an important decision.  They are, after all, choosing someone who they will have to trust to take care of their baby for 9 months while they have essentially no power to do anything to control her actions and choices.  But the emotional part of me wishes they had seen my profile and immediately said, "YES!  She's the one we've been waiting for!"

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will hear that they would like to move forward with considering me by the end of the week.
