Weight Gain...or lack thereof

In the first three months of my pregnancy I lost (I believe) approximately 12 pounds. At the end of my second trimester I had found most of those missing 12 pounds. So far in my third trimester I have gained 7 pounds, three of which have been in the last three weeks. Af of this moment I am a whopping 3 pounds above my starting weight for this pregnancy. My doctor is happy with my weight gain.

I think that I love my doctor. This is the first doctor I have ever had that has been 100% alright with me gaining weight. Tee he he.

Now, I titled this post "Weight Gain...or lack thereof" because I can't believe that I've ONLY gained 3 pounds during the course of this pregnancy. This is the most amazing diet that I've ever been on! Since I'm pregnant I get to choose what we have for dinner every night, I get to have whatever I want for breakfast every day, and I get to eat a ton of yummy snacky food in between. In short, I eat like a friggin' pig!

Many of you may recall my comments on FB regarding cake. This baby likes sugar. Any kind of sugar. I actually had to start drinking soda again (I gave it up just before I became pregnant) just because this baby was not getting enough sugar in its diet. On top of all the soda I'm drinking, I can't get enough gummy candy, cake, pies, or other dessert foods.

Since I've only gained 3 pounds in the last three weeks I'm wondering what's happening to all the food that I'm consuming? (This is a rhetorical question. I know where it's going. It just amazes me.)
