The Eyes Have It

 We're having an idle evening on the couch. 

W: You know I'm going to get much bigger right?
Me: I'm not stupid. Of course. You're pregnant.
W: My boobs have already got a lot bigger.... all my insides are gonna get smushed up
Me: Yeah...
W: Are you listening?
Me: Yeah...
W: Concentrate
Me: I was concentrating... something gets smushed. Boobs? 

W shakes her head, opens up the laptop and starts surfing. 

W: I don't think you really appreciate what's going to happen.

W shows me this animation:

Me: Whoa!
W: Exactly.
Me: Where does it all go?
W: It just gets pushed out of the way. More trips to the toilet. More heartburn.
Me: (the words are not coming...)
W: And that's nothing compared to your eyes...
Me: Eyes?
W: Yeah, they change shape.
Me: Now you're justing having me on.
W: Look it up.
Me: I will.

An hour's surfing later in which I discover that a pregnant woman's sight can change considerably, possibly forever. Contact lense prescriptions have to change... it's a big deal...

Me: I am in awe...
