Gaining weight -- only 6 weeks

Sarah
I almost had an emotional breakdown the other day when I stepped on the scale. I've gained ~8 lbs already and I'm only 6.5 weeks. I'm 5'0, so this is pretty noticeable. The odd thing is-- I'm taking exercise classes (heart rate up and sweating) and I'm jogging every morning AND eating healthier than I ever have. What the heck is going on? I read we're not supposed to gain more than 5lbs. during 1st trimester. 
(Also, I weigh at the same time in the morning each day, so it's not just fluctuating).
I don't know what to do!
