week 22

i'm already at my 22nd week of pregnancy. photos were taken off of my brother's instagram. it has been awesome for the past few weeks, gaining back my appetite, being able to go to work and actually do work, laugh a bit more, having cravings, and not puking. until this morning. my tummy has grown but somehow my colleagues keep on pointing out that i am barely showing. i don't know if i should take that as a compliment or what. the baby has been busy kicking up a storm in there. sometimes i find myself purposely sit in an uncomfortable position (for him) so that i can feel his kicks.

Arwen has been able to feel the baby move and she's so ecstatic and amazed by it all. she saw the remote control i put on my tummy jerk and immediately thinks that her brother has super powers. she's into that weird phase right now. between believing in princesses and superheroes. and still figuring the boys-girls role while planning for her own wedding in the midst of it all. yup, she's too mature for her age. i promise i wont stereotype gender-specific roles for her, except for times she wants to go to the toilet and also how she should sit properly while wearing a skirt or a dress. but if she wants to be a sword wielding, zombie annihilating, superpower unleashing, magic concocting, rubber horse riding princess in a blue dress with a tiara, fairy wings, silver glittered shoes and pink nailpolish, and calling out "aye, aye, captain!" when i call for her - that's exactly who she'll be. despite all that confusion, she's gonna be a wonderful teacher-rolemodel-leader for her brother, i'm sure.

on a separate note, tomorrow we'll be off to langkawi for my brother's wedding and a babymoon - if i can call it that. bags are packed, executive taxi booked, hotel booked, only the cats are left to be left for boarding. though i wont promise but i will be posting and instagramming photos of the wedding and our vacation.

i'm sorry for being so blah but keeping up with this blog has been boring and i'm just not really in the mood to write or do anything but sleep all day long. i don't even download stuff on the net anymore because it's so life-consuming.
