For the past two years, gaining weight has been a big deal in this house. Not for me (I've never had a problem gaining weight before) but for little E. She eats a lot - A LOT! But, she also runs around like a crazy kid so the calories just burn themselves off. When you get her dressed, and can see her little ribs sticking out, you can't help but want to give her an oreo or something.
I've been trying to find high calorie, but healthy foods for her to eat. She eats a lot of organic chicken nuggets, beef (no nitrate) hot dogs, mac n cheese, etc but will also eat anything we eat. Last night we discovered she has a love for frito chili pie! Gotta love our little Texan!
So, it should not have come as a surprise that during the one time in my life that I SHOULD be gaining weight, I can't. I'm four months pg and should have gained five pounds by now. All I've done is lose 10 pounds. I can't gain weight for anything. I am showing and the baby has a healthy heartbeat and I do eat, but no weight gain.
The doctor was a little concerned, but when I explained I went from eating the not so healthiest of diets to a much better one, he understood. I have a family history of no weight gain during pregnancies, but it doesn't seem normal. What also isn't normal is my inability to eat anything sweet. I'm normally a chocoholic and can't even stand the smell of chocolate right now!
Happy Holidays everyone!
My next post will include SUCCESSFUL photos of E with Santa. Way better than the last two years!
PS Sorry the photo is so blurry. J took it and isn't that great at photography! This picture is two weeks old, but I don't look much different.

I am a little late on this post but wanted to tell you that with Micah, I couldn't STAND sweet stuff! I was so grossed out at all things sweet. this time around (due june 20th) my only aversion is crepes (I know. weird!) I can't believe you haven't gained weight! You can have my 13 pounds that I never lost from my first pregnancy! I've gained 14 more already.
