More time is fine. Its not no. You are not jinxed. The one good thing about being involved in these situtations is that it gets you excited and gives you the strength to continue on. Even if she decided to keep this baby, you will have had two weeks of hope and excitement. Two weeks where you did something other than sit there with no news. That's good right?

ITA! Get some Ben and Jerry's or something.

I'm glad she's taking this time to make up her mind, but boy, your anxiety has to be through the roof!

I third or fourth what the others have shared...it wasn't a NO But I fully understand being on pins and needles. Praying the PBMOM makes the best choice for her and her newborn. Wish the wait part was easier to deal with... Have a glass of wine

God Bless and Sending Prayers to you and PBMOM!

I can't imagine how hard it must be for her too... I hope that if she decides against it you'll be matched soon...

Yes, this is definitely a hard situation for everyone involved - pbmom, preemie baby, and pa-parents. My thoughts are with all of you. And hey, Sandra - The Ben and Jerry's is a great idea. Take care of yourselves.
