Hi Juliet,I don't have much advice, but wanted to reach out and say that you aren't alone and hang in there! We're waiting for the call too and my stomach drops every time my phone vibrates. I am experiencing a wide spectrum of emotions, hourly, but very rarely excitement. For me, it is hard to feel excited when everything is such an unknown, which is (I think?) the anxiety tied to the phone calls for me. Becoming parents represents massive change to current lifestyles. I doubt whether I am ready daily and I grieve over the upcoming loss of child-free lifestyle because it is such a big change. But, there is also room to hold onto the hope of love and nurturing that I'll share with a child someday, hopefully!
