I was just sitting here thinking that very same thing! I'm a control freak to begin with, so I get very stressed when I feel that things are completely out of my hands. Waiting for a referral is turning into an extremely painful experience in that sense. I do everything I can to stay busy--I'm finishing up an MBA (I graduate in April--hurray!) and work full time. I'm keeping up a social life (a little dating and lots of movie nights with my friends) and I'm doing things around the house to prepare for the baby, but, SHEESH! is it a tough time! And Fridays afternoons are especially rough as I realize I can't expect to get the call until Monday instead of hopefully "tomorrow".
It's so hard to share these feelings of frustrations with friends who haven't gone through it and can't begin to imagine what it's like. Thank goodness for this forum!
