It's funny...when you are a little kid..you get used to the idea of countdowns. Probably the biggest one is your countdown to your birthday or Christmas because that means presents. I always used to make those red and green chainlink pieces made out of construction paper that you would take one down for each day that got closer to Christmas. At the end you would have one ring left and it was Christmas Eve. As you get older..you still like the Christmas countdown, but you start to countdown different things as well. There's the ball dropping at New Years with Dick Clark. You always hoped as you got older you would have someone to kiss when the countdown was over, and the ball dropped. Then you get married...realize that you will always have your husband to kiss on New Years...but still the countdowns continue.
Right now I still countdown Christmas...I love presents what can I say. But with this whole fertility journey, I've gotten used to new types of countdowns. It seems like there is always countdowns to something. Countdowns to when you will start your next cycle of meds, countdown to your next ultrasound, countdowns for you next IUI, and the ultimate culminating countdown moment...countdown to either testing day or the day of your next cycle so that you get to try again!
I now realize that I think I'm addicted to countdowns...you get so used to them that you almost crave them. Yes I have a countdown addiction. I feel like I could use a 12 step program :-) Welcome to the group Sara...yes my name is Sara and I am a count downaholic. Seriously, I was at work yesterday...and a friend asked how many more days until Christmas and I said 6...I didn't realize that I wasn't counting days til Christmas, but rather days until I could test to see if our IUI this month worked!
On the christmas note, I think I'm finally done wrapping and cooking...which is a good thing since we leave tomorrow morning to celebrate a early Christmas with my husband's family. We're doing Christmas Eve with my family since I have to work a double on Christmas day (one perk of being a new CRNA in the department). I just need to go buy a last minute gift for our fur child...our bolognese puppy Neela. She'll go with us to my in-laws since they live in Ohio and we live in Michigan, then along to my families...basically she goes everywhere with us!
Anyways...just wanted to say happy holidays and Merry Christmas for everyone! Have a great weekend!

Countdowns are a better way of thinking about it. Makes it more exciting than thinking that you only live your life in 2 week chunks. I think I'm going to start counting down instead
Your puppy is so cute! I have two dogs. They always get Christmas dog toys that I buy on sale the year before and store with the Christmas decorations.
Merry Christmas!
Have a great holiday with your family! Welcome to blogland.
LOVE your Furbaby!! Such a cutie pie!
As for countdowns, i hear ya, we have been countdowning down christmas this yr for sure. As much as I am excited about christmas, it is also my start of the 13th week for me. Christmas has been on my countdown radar for 13 weeks now!
Have yourself a merry christmas - you will not be the only working a double. My husband is working also.
I hope you had a great Christmas!
Becca (your other UUer!) :-)
