How big is baby? A pomegranate 

Appointments this week? None

Symptoms? Headaches have been killing me this week, Pelvic bone pain (I am pretty sure its here to stay till I deliver), hungry all the time

Rants/Raves/Questions: Raves: I officially, without a doubt, have been feeling baby move in there this week! Question: not sure if this is pregnancy related because I never had it with my other two but hormones do weird things to your body....has anyone had eyeball pain? The tops of my actual eyeball hurt? Im on day 2 and its the strangest feeling.

GTKY: What is your favorite children's book? Love you forever, it hits a spot in my heart every time I read it to the kids

Appointments this week? Nope

Symptoms? Finally had to get a prescription for acid reflux, and as much as I can't believe it helped, I am so relieved. Still exhausted every day, and my stomach feels bigger.

Rants/Raves/Questions: I finally graduated college! I was honestly thinking this day would never come.
@MamaZ326 I haven't had eyeball pain during pregnancy, but they do hurt when I need to wear my glasses again. I've heard prescriptions can change, maybe that's what is doing it?

GTKY: What is your favorite children's book? My favorites are "A Garden for Miss Mouse", "But No Elephants", "The Snowy Day", and the Henry the duck series.

@absbubbs I don't wear glasses but ya your right things are changing! It might be time for an eye exam! Thank you!

OmegaRose3

@MamaZ326 Yes, actually although to me it just feels like pressure in the top or tearducts of the eye. It goes hand in hand with the headaches, hormones do a lot of weird stuff.

I'm being nosy... @MamaZ326 I've had headaches for weeks now every damn day. And before that I had eye pain. Exactly as you describe. It's just the nasty hormones doing their thing. I feel your pain!

Rants/Raves/Questions: We were going to wait until Christmas, but as fate would have it my family and DH's family were all together this weekend (and won't be for Christmas), so we opened up our envelope with baby's sex. And we're having a GIRL!!!!!  DH has been talking about wanting a girl for at least 2 years. When he found out he just started crying. It was the sweetest. And ever since he's been particularly loving and caring with me - clearing my car, shoveling the walk, extra hugs & kisses, etc. I joked that if it had been a boy he would have been telling me to, "toughen up" and such. But really I think the whole thing just became a lot more real for him. 

GTKY: What is your favorite children's book? Picture books: Goodnight, Moon and The Little Engine that Could
Chapter books: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

@MamaZ326 Like others said, I'd guess vision change/eye strain, or having to do with the headaches. Does it get better if you close them and lie down? My eyes for sure hurt when I'm on my phone or computer too much or I forget to wear my reading glasses. 

@absbubbs CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is so exciting and probably feels like such a relief!!!
