8 weeks

Here I am only a week later and my belly feels like it has doubled in size. The morning/all day sickness is in full gear now. I'm having a hard time finding anything that sounds appetizing, except for foods like: cheese pizza, panda express orange chicken, nibs, ice cream. I'm almost disgusted with what I'm eating these days because it's not "clean eating" like I'm used to. I'm really trying to get over it and just eat so I won't feel so nauseous. Another thing that's really making things hard is how tired I am. I've really forgotten so much about being pregnant, it almost feels like it's the first time all over again. I have been fortunate enough to have Mason do so much around the house. He's been doing the laundry every week and making sure the girls get fed and lets me take naps everyday. I'll try and pick up my role as a house wife in about a month. Meanwhile, Miya tries to make dinner every night which consists of cut up cucumbers, celery, and nectarines all neatly placed in different bowls like a buffet. It's really cute, but I'm worried she feels like she has to step up and help because her mom is too tired/pregnant. I have a feeling I'm going to get a lot of help with this baby.

Here I am. My abs pretty much gone...ahhh so much work! (It's worth it!)

7 Weeks Pregnant

Yup you read that right. I'm Pregnant! Never thought this day would come. We're all super excited about having a new baby come into our family. The girls are especially excited. I would love to have a boy, but 3 girls would be fun too. Mason wants another girl, Emi said she wants a brother and Miya wants another sister....we'll see.

So, now that I'm pregnant I guess that's something to blog about. I'm really nervous to see my body transform again, but also kind of determined to stay fit during this pregnancy, so it wont be so hard to get my body back. I still have that future goal to compete in Figure, but who knows?

At 7 weeks, I've started the dreaded stage of my pregnancies. In the past I've lost 10-15 lbs, just because I couldn't keep anything down. This time, I'm feeling nauseous, but have been eating a lot more. As long as I force my self to keep eating I feel okay. I just need to eat more healthy foods, otherwise I'll be 150lbs before I know it.

I thought it might be fun to take pictures every month and slowly watch my abs disappear and the rest of my body inflate. So here I am.....7 weeks.

Happy 6th Birthday Miya!

My Miya is 6 years old today!!!!

How time flies by. I really can't believe Miya is already 6 years old. Her kindergarten year is almost over and before I'll know it she'll be in high school. There is too much good stuff to say about this girl. She's been an amazing 1st daughter. She's super obedient and really loves to please her family. She's a leader (she even got the leadership award at school) and makes friends with everyone. Miya, you're an amazing little girl! I love you and Happy Birthday!

Time to update

I know, I know...I really need to update this blog, but I just never have the time. Sorry!

This just might be the end of the Allred Ohana blog.

A Late post

My mom and grandma came a couple weekends ago. We had so much fun having them here, but it went too fast.

Easter Egg Hunting

Miya and Emi in their new Easter dresses...Thank you Baba!

What's New?

As I was downloading pictures from my camera I noticed Emi had taken a hundred photos of herself. She's is so silly...

I know it's out of focus, but I couldn't stop laughing because she's making a kissy face. I swear I don't make that face in pictures.

Yesterday was a beautiful day, we went to Berkeley Marina park and ran around.

We wore our bathing suit and pretended we were going to the beach.

Today we went to the Oakland Temple and since it's the first day of Spring, here's a picture of my girlies posing with the beautiful tulips.

After the temple, we went to this Mexican restaurant (as pictured above with one of the workers) that's near our place. We've been wanting to try it out because it looked cute and the sign said "Authentic", so when we walked in to see that it was ran by a Korean couple we wanted to leave (I know, I know...that's a bit prejudice), but I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and stay and eat anyways. Mason and I ordered the steak burritos and the girls ordered a hamburger. The conclusion....waste of money and we should have stuck with our instincts and gone somewhere else. Our steak burritos turned out to be some sort of cartilage and pinto bean burrito...it was not good. I think I'll stay prejudice when it comes to Koreans serving Mexican food.

The Leprechaun came

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This morning the girls woke up to a surprise. A trail of footprints and gold were left behind from a Leprechaun. At the end of the trail were some gold fish and sun chips.

Miya and Emi were so excited with what was left behind.

Miya sporting a St. Patty's wig from her grandma Tu-Tu. Thanks Tu-Tu for the package of goodies!

The Leprechaun even turned our pancakes green!

Ahhh! Green Pancakes!

Emi looks like she's not sure what to make of this trail of footprints.

We also celebrated Mason's birthday on Sunday with our buddies the Beesley's. We had a high school flashback party where we each presented how cool we were in high school. It was fun to see how different we all were, but yet all so cool...lol!

Sharon sharing her scrapbook she made in high school...very COOL!
