We are all gaining weight. Just like the first time when I was pregnant with Max, Scott had put on about 10 to 15 pounds with me and then the 2nd trimester came and my hunger lessened and then he dropped the weight. Of course I did not. I have gained about 2 pounds. I have a feeling that no matter what I do, I am going to gain the same amount of weight I gained with Max. However, when I got pregnant with Max I was really under weight because we just got married and I was only 98 pounds. We went away on our honeymoon and I gained about 5 pounds and that was still under my usual weight. We got home and I started to go up in weight and at the same time found out I was pregnant and then added another 13 pounds in the first trimester. I ended up gaining a total of 48 pounds but I think my body needed to get up to my normal weight of 108-109. So I consider it kind of gaining 40 pounds. As for my after baby weight, I think a healthy (and when I say healthy that means not starving or denying myself) weight is probably more like 110-112. I have said before that this experience of having Max has healed me in so many ways with my body image stuff. So as for Max, yesterday breakfast he ate a whole yogurt, an egg and some fruit and then dinner he ate a turkey nitrate free hot dog, half of a burger, peas, asparagus and sorbet. I guess my hormones are effecting my guys too.
