  always...

   

  ETA:i also try to think of reasons why this date is special and why it will work... my ER was supposed to be 5/19... my EDD would have been 2/9/13.  my bday is the 29th and Shauns is the 31st... just reverse Shauns and you have 2913... lol how ridiculous... now it will be 2/16. we were married on the 16th and Brian Leetch wore #2... who does this?  i do!

  I'll see your due date and raise you an "I mark every milestone on the calendar at the beginning of each cycle."

  Yep, every time I get AF, I mark when I'll be 8 weeks (first U/S), 12 weeks (NT/start telling people), 20 weeks (anatomy scan), due date, and other points of reference so that when we make plans for future events, I can quickly reference my calendar and think to myself, I'll be XX weeks at that point.

  Pretty sure that's a combo of my Type A personality and some form of masochism? Good thing I use a Google calendar and it's easy to delete and start over the next cycle (sigh).

  I totally do this too, although usually it's closer to the end of my cycle.  I start thinking *maybe* this is it, I look up EDD, Chinese gender prediction chart and like one of the PPs I look at when my first ultrasound would be, when the first trimester would be over . . . I will admit this past month I even looked at the January 2013 birth month board thinking maybe, just maybe I would be joining - but no.
