Ok, so now I'm talking to the phone.

Actually whining at the phone...

"Why are you so quiet? Why are you always ringing when it is for the kids, and not for me?!?"

I hope I don't pass out when the caller id does come up as my agency.

Ring phone ring ring ring

Anyone else feel like this?

I asked my agency to phone me when we are out of PGN so I could stop stalking my inbox and now I just stare the phone!

Dumb phone!

I've done the same thing at every milestone so far...with the exception of our referral, which came waaaay earlier than we expected!

My agency prefers the phone over email, so I'm constantly checking my cell phone to make sure it's on, to see if I missed any calls, and trying to keep my heart from exploding when I see the agency's name on the caller ID!

Right now, the next "biggie" is finding out when we exit FC and enter PGN. We're visiting at the end of February, so I'm hoping to be in PGN by then.

Hope we all get those magical calls and emails real soon!

I'm still right there with you, PGN sistah!

Although I have to say, I alternate -- talk to phone, refresh computer screen, talk to phone, refresh computer screen, talk to phone, check the forums, talk to phone (you get the picture).

Was that the phone?

We are in the same boat!

I'm worried the phone may start talking back, I mean while it is hung up!

Doesn't it feel like our lives are on hold?

COME ON!!! IT'S ALMOST FRIDAY AGAIN!!!

I think i need a drink! (and some chocolate)

When I was waiting for our PGN out call, I jumped everytime the phone rang. I would run to see who was on the caller id, then be mad at the person calling because it wasn't who I wanted it to be. The funny this is that when we did get the call, I was busy and completely forgot about this. I even answered our phone that didn't have caller id on it. Made it a much better surprise, though.

Phone Ring RING RING NOW!

I know what you mean. I have willed the email/phone to blink/ring on the daily through this process. Not even in PGN yet! It seems like the minute you get distracted or feel like you have hit rock bottom the next thing you know the call or email for that next step will come. Praying and hoping for your phone to R I N G for you ASAP.
Hugs,
D

May I just say that really stinks!?! When you posted that I couldn't believe it!

Hopefully the reviewers will get through your file quickly.

Funny how we blame the inanimate objects! It's all the phone's fault- if it would just ring, I would be out of PGN! I understand that mentality- that's why I didn't get pregnant because the home pregnancy tests were bad!
I hope you hear good new soon.

Well...I am right there with you girls! I have been in since 12/5...still no news even with a reviewer!!! Yikes.

Does anyone feel like they are starting to lose it?? I can't sleep, can't concentrate, can't do much of anything except obsess about PGN??? Maybe I need therapy.

I'm so sorry ladies! I'm hoping everyone gets that special phonecall tomorrow. Soon you will be jumping when the phone rings because you're afraid it's going to wake the baby. Everyone feels the need to call my house between 10 and 11:30.

I've decided I'm going to go ahead and schedule all the things I've put off because we might get the call soon. Tomorrow I'm going to make an appointment to get my wisdom teeth out. Then I'm going to sign up to teach a community education class. Finally I'm hosting a big party. As soon as all the invitations are out...I bet we get the call. That's right phone...I don't care anymore if you ring or not. (Do you think it believes me?)
