How did you deal with the wait?

We are planning to try starting in May. As it gets closer to May, I find I’m getting more and more impatient! I’m SO EXCITED to try. My husband is fully on board, and the only reason we’re not starting now is because my anticipated ovulation date in April would make it a possible Christmas baby, which we both would like to try to avoid. But my period was 1 day late this last time, and just the thought that I could’ve been pregnant had me so overjoyed. So, best tips for sticking to the logical plan and not getting swept away by emotions? I know April will go by quickly, but right now it feels like May is so far away!
