I met with the nutritionist yesterday in regards to my problem of not gaining any baby weight. After keeping a detailed food journal of everything I ate, right down to breath mints and trips to the water fountain, it was decided that I was eating right, but not enough. I was instructed to add an extra 1,000 calories every day in hopes of gaining a pound a week on top of whatever I gain as the baby grows.
Do you have any idea how hard it is too add 1,000 calories to a full meal schedule that already included regular snacks and desserts? My metabolism has somehow tweaked back to my pre-married form when I could live on frosty-dipped fries and personal pizzas without gaining an ounce. Where was this problem all last year when I was trying to drop those annoying last ten pounds?
So I am trying to think of ways to squeeze extras in- extra salad dressing on anything, snacking on nuts and protein bars instead of crackers or granola bars, drinking milk with meals instead of water, and of course ordering dessert. I suppose if I had to pick a pregnancy complication to deal with, this would be it.
In the mean time, I am going to start eating like him:

Could you pass that "disease" on to me? It sounds like one I'd like to have.
Are you liking "Ivanhoe" it's one of my favorite books.
I too would like this problem!!! Good luck on the desserts...
Yes, that is the responsible thing to do....Order Dessert for the good of the baby and humanity on the whole ;)
Isn't it weird the things that change about our bodies when we get pregnant? I am hoping for this problem next time I get pregnant...although, do you feel stuffed and sick adding the extra calories?
