There is always something unexpected about pregnancy

So, as I have some time off right now, I am trying to get in all possible doctors appointments that I can. I have already been to the dermatologist and learned that my drastic sunburn from last May (from which I still have the tan lines) has not yet produced any scary melanoma spots. But, I digress.

Since I do have the spare time, I also decided to get my eyes checked out since, I have not been able to wear my contacts comfortably since getting pregnant. In fact, my contacts had become so bothersome, everytime I put them in, I could feel them and no matter what I did, the left eye just would not focus. I had pretty much stopped wearing them. The problem is, this means I can't wear sunglasses, which I dearly love to wear, so I went to the eye doctor yesterday. I ended up just doing a walk-in appointment. I swear to you the intake guy thought I was crazy when I told him that since getting pregnant that I could not wear my contacts. He admitted that he had heard of eyesight changing in pregnancy but that contacts should not be an issue. However, not discounting what I said, they agreed to do an brief eye exam. And although I just had my eyes checked in September, the results of the eye exam were quite shocking to me. Since wearing corrective lenses, I have had the prescription in each eye. That has changed. Also, since September, the prescription in both of my eyes has changed as well. I was wearing -1.75 in both my left and right eyes. After going to the eye doctor yesterday, I am now wearing -1.00 in the left eye and -1.50 in the right eye. So, my eye sight has actually improved, and no wonder that left contact was blurry, I was wearing -1.75 and my eye had changed to -1.00! The good thing is, I wore contacts comfortably today for the first time in almost 2 months! I did not deal with this particular eyesight issue in my pregnancy with James, so there is always something unexpected about pregnancy.
