week 14 - two in a bikini (update)

update on the bikini situation - BAAAAAD. i look more fat than pregnant because the "baby bump" is somewhat spreading out across my whole abdomen .... which essentially means no obvious "bump". not sure why this is the case though ... is it because my other organs are migrating up as the uterus moves up? and there's no way i can suck in my stomach anymore. i tried a few times these past few days, but failed.

thankfully i haven't had to "parade" around the swimming pool at our hotel because we have a pool access room and i have been able to hide the lower half of me most of the time in the water. the room was a complimentary upgrade as part of the service recovery after a baaaaad check-in / room mix-up experience. basically, our room wasn't ready at 4pm and when we collected the keys at 10pm, the room assigned to us was not made up. NOT acceptable.

on the food front, i felt slightly deprived because i had to stay away from possibly under/uncooked shellfish, cut fruits (pineapples!) and fruit-salad type dishes (e.g. papaya/green mango salads!!) during this trip. nonetheless, had my share of cheap morning glory, tom yum, pad thai / pad see ew and banana pancakes, so i think baby has been really well fed. :D
