Ht. 5'3", Wt. 153 - Im really frustrated cuz ive gained 2 pounds! Ive been sick the past few days so ive been sleeping a lot but i also havent been eating a lot and im eating good too. Ive started doing a bunch of crunches everyday, and i feel like my tummy is getting thinner, could i have gained muscle mass? At least for part of my weight gain? HELP!

Yes, you could have gained muscle mass - which is good - it burns calories more efficiently. Making your body change with eating right and exercise takes time!! You just need to keep your stride, I promise it will pay off. A good read: The Rules of Normal Eating.
