The fear sets in

Ok, for a whole 24 hours after our talk we were absolutely thrilled, giddy, felt like we'd had a first kiss with our new boy (this in itself is a strange effect of working with a known donor that I anticipated, but it's still strange).

Then that night, we called him to touch base on a few details we'd put together. We left a message on his cell phone. That was 37 hours ago and he hasn't returned our call. We even made a second call last night, 24 hours in.

Now we're neurotically freaked out. And the fact that we both are isn't helping anything. Neither of us is rational, except for the occasional moment of sanity.

Has he changed his mind? Does he need more time to think? Did he find out his partner has an STD? Was his "yes" not as firm as we thought it was? Was it all just a dream?

While the great feeling was indeed great, this part sucks. There very well could be a number of reasonable explanations for his lack of call. Or our fears could be true.

Either way, we just want to know.

And, we want to stop feeling like teenage stalker girls.
