Let me start by saying I understand and am completely fine with the weight that needs to be gained while I'm pregnant. I always tell Spencer I would rather have a healthy baby and I'm not obsessed to stay "thin" while pregnant. I do try to eat healthy and exercise but let's be honest there is really nothing you can do to stop the weight from coming.
With all that said, I have discovered the bonus to gaining weight during pregnancy. The bonus is that as I look at pictures of myself before I got pregnant I look thinner than ever! Any pre-pregnancy size I used to complain about I now long for! Before if I looked at certain pictures of myself and think, "Man I look fat in that picture." I now look at it and think, "I look thin" and "How I can't wait to look like that again." It is a major self-esteem builder and makes me appreciate my size before pregnancy so much more.
