First Lean Bulk Help

For context, I have lifted weights for a couple years, but I’ve never sat down and decided I’m going to eat this many calories consistently, count them, and do a real “bulk”. I started 10 days ago weighed in at 182.6 pounds, and today I’m 190 pounds. I also started creatine for the first time 10 days ago. Now, I am aware that water retention and glycogen in your muscles is a thing and a contributing factor to the spike in weight gain. From what I am reading, this is a relatively normal thing. As far as weights in the gym and getting a pump, I feel absolutely amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever actually eaten this many carbs in a day before. The bulk is intended to be clean and I’m eating about 3000 cal a day. I would love to hear everyones thoughts about the spike in weight gain or experiences with bulking in general.
