Countdown

When Dave was deployed 3 years ago, my friend Alicia made a countdown jar where I would eat one M&M everyday in anticipation of his return.  Along with a chocolate fix, it was a fun visual reminder to see the amount of time/M&M's go down. 


Recently, my friend Marc recommended that we do a Baby Dora countdown jar... what a great idea!!  Since I am a pack rat and keep everything, I still had the jar that Alicia made me several years back. 


We have 161 M&M's to go until we hopefully meet our little one.  I didn't put any extra in, hoping that s/he isn't late!!


Let the countdown begin... 


* We don't know the sex yet... when I went to the store, the Valentine's day M&M's were 50% off so we went with the red, white and pink!

    This is perfect! Although I'm surprised you didn't throw a few extras in there for night-time snacks!

    Because I'm fat, I had so many urges to eat your M&M's when D-O was gone. Could you imagine if you ran out before his arrival date?! Probably a good thing I didn't!
