Pregnancy affects every part of the body. I didn't take that seriously because how could it possibly be true. Well, I guess I should have taken their word for it because I can't see. No, seriously, my vision has gotten about twelve times worse. I have glasses that I use for driving sometimes. Very rarely did I use them. All of a sudden I need my glasses almost every time I get into the car and at night especially. It is like my whole world has gone fuzzy. I asked Dr. Diaz about it at my last appointment. Wouldn't you know, blurred vision is a symptom. She said I could go get my eyes checked but there would be no point because my vision will go back to normal post-baby.
I am getting bigger by the second now. These last few months are the biggest growth months for the baby. At my last Dr's appointment they estimated him to be about 3.5 lbs. I would like him to be about 7.5 lbs. That's a lot of weight for a little man. The more he grows, the more I grow. Unfortunately, this results in the Itchy Belly syndrome. I am guessing it is because my skin is stretching. My belly itches like crazy. No matter how much moisturizer I put on, it still itches. I think I could lather myself all day long and still be itchy.
Hayley asked me if it was weird when I felt him move. Yes, it is weird in an amazing I have no control over my body kind of way. I love feeling him move. I am totally distracted and engrossed by it. However, I am not so attached when he kicks my ribs. It can be quite uncomfortable. He gets all under there and I feel like I have to push him down or puff out my chest to make room. I am having a hard time describing it. But it has been, by far, the most frustrating part of pregnancy for me. It is very difficult to get comfortable when you have a foot in between your ribs. I am sure there will be plenty more unforeseen joys of pregnancy to come.
