Well my appetite returned about three weeks ago. Instead of just eating three meals in the day, I now just nibble all day long. I can't eat much at one time, but I seem to need to eat every two to three hours or my hands get shaky. The problem is I still don't like snack food. I don't want chips or crackers or anything salty, which is usually the kind of snacks we have. I always want fruit, but we never have enough, so I end up eating bread: toast with jam, or bagel with cream cheese or toast and tomatoes. Also, chocolate in all it's varieties: chocolate chips, ice cream, candy bars, cookies, chocolate milk, etc. So what does this all mean? CALORIES!! And too much of them. I only gained the recommended amount of weight between my last two appointments, but yesterday the Dr. said I'm measuring a little big. If I don't change the types of foods I'm eating I'm going to gain unnecessary weight. I've only gained 15lbs this pregnancy and I hope to keep it under 30 (which is recommended). With Kendra I gained 35lbs. I want to stay healthy so I need to shop and eat smarter.
I struggle with the weight gain with the boys too. Must be something about their genes. Don't be too worried, 15 pounds is nothing. Love Ya
