still pregnant?

I spent the weekend reading up on what to expect at this stage of the game. I also learned that, contrary to what we thought, our due date is not 40 weeks from March 1, but actually 40 weeks from February 14 (approximately). So, instead of a pre-Xmas baby, we're probably looking at one born on or near my birthday. AKA, a Thanksgiving baby. Oy. (My birthday is the day after my dad's, so I know about this particular pain.)

I also spent the weekend (and today), wondering "am I still pregnant?". My boobs hurt and my ute sometimes makes crampy. But, it's been like that since I started the progesterone shots. I thought I'd be able to tell for sure if I miscarry, but the hormones basically keep you pregnant unless you stop. Agh! This is so very hard.

The next doctor visit is scheduled for April 3. Ultrasound. We'll find out if we've got one....or two!

Today, I started feeling a wee bit queasy, but nothing specific. Not really nausea, just... I don't know, different. I'm trying to eat small healthy snacks every 2 hours just in case.

Today is the day I also got back on my bike. I rode to work and worked out (with lighter weights and higher reps). Felt pretty good, but realized that I should start eating beforehand.
