I weighed myself Monday morning as usual and was sufficiently satisfied that my weight gain was under control. While I'm gradually gaining, I was happy to see that I was still 3lbs lighter than I was pre-preggers. I haven't been starving myself. Just trying to eat sensibly. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
Fast forward to this morning. I don't know why I decided to weigh myself, but I did. Boy was I in for a surprise! It seems that I've gained 2.8 lbs (I refuse to round it to 3 lbs), I repeat, 2.8 lbs.....in four days. Huh?! Really?! Is that even possible???? Four days!? I mean really. It took God seven days to create the heavens and the Earth. Yet I managed to gain 2.8 lbs in four days. Wow! At this rate, I stand to gain 98 lbs before Zoe arrives. I have 138 days to go. At a rate of 2.8 lbs every four days, that's a whopping 98 lbs. Really, it is. I did the math.
Okay, so I know I'm not going to gain 98 lbs. I'm completely exaggerating. I'm just completely in shock right now.
Confession: My sweet tooth is back. I made the awful mistake of buying some of those break-and-bake cookies. Chocolate chip w/ walnuts. Yum....especially straight out of the oven. I ate twelve gooey cookies last weekend. In three days. But I weighed myself on Monday and the damage wasn't too bad. Or so I thought. How long does it take for twelve cookies to register on the scale?! Apparently four days. Must throw away cookies TONIGHT!

my weight gain during pregnancy was so random and inconsistent. I didn't gain anything until I was 20 weeks pregnant and then I gained 10 pounds in two weeks! Thwn it slowed down until the 3rd trimester! So don't freak out- although it IS scary to watch the scale tip so fast in so few days :)
