black outs and study sessions

So I have missed a few posts but that ok right? I mean that is what these things are for! Sunday was a fun day. First there was church then Walmart for 4 hours. Yes that is right I said FOUR hours and we even left with more money than we came with! How is this possible? Well we were selling coupon books of course! Yep more of those coupon books for the missions trip. We sat outside of the Walmart in Wake Forest and sold five books. There were also some pretty generous donations given to us. It definitely required some stepping out of the comfort zone because we were solely in charge of the whole deal. The weather was beautiful so we couldn't have asked for a better day to be out there. I even think that I got a little sun on my face! After about hour 3.5 we were all getting hungry thus we hurried on over to matthew's mother's house for some chow.

Mondays are basically mondays. I mean who really likes Mondays? I know I don't. Out of all the days of the week I have to say that Mondays are my least favorite. I had class and lunch with my hubby then more class and then homework. The best part about Mondays for me is the great Monday night television shows. I (used to make but now don't have to) make Matthew watch the line up with me. It starts at 8 with the Secret Life of an American Teenager then Make It or Break It at 9:00. But last night was the season finale of Make It or Break It so it will not be on again until later this summer. Another reason why Mondays won't be as good with out it. Oh well.

Today is Tuesday. The count down is on for spring break! There are only 3 more days, 5 more classes, and one test until the big break!! Today has been a beautiful (almost completely) spring day. I woke up early this morning, earlier than normal. Tuesdays are my days to go to Knightdale high school for my student observations. It was a pretty interesting observation today because about fifteen minutes into the class the power went out! The whole school was in the dark. The back up generator came on and made the hallway lights come on but the classrooms were running off the window light. As to be expected, the students freaked out for about 10 minutes and then my mentor teacher decided that even if the lights don't come back on she was still going to get on with her lesson. So we did the lesson in the dark! It was definitely an experience that could be helpful in the future. I believe the school let out early but I was not able to hang around and find out. I normally only stay for first period but today they were doing the tenth grade riding test so I stayed a little later. We believed that they were trying to make sure that the tenth graders could finish the writing test before they sent everyone home. The school can not continue running without power for obvious reasons like no lunch and no light.

Soon after I left the school I had to head to my school for classes of my own. I had my religion class and human sexuality class today. I was a little bad today though cause I decided that since it was so nice outside I was going to leave my human sexuality class early and enjoy the weather. I headed home to find my husband's college diploma in the mail!! I am so proud of him! I had to call and tell him about it of course. With that good news I made myself a frozen pizza, opened all the windows and doors to let the warmth in and started studying for my test on Thursday. This is as far as the day has gone yet the best is yet to come when my husband arrives home!

Moving Right Along

So with the due date nearing and the anticipation of finally being able to hold our precious baby girl, I thought that I would share a little bit of my everyday normal for now!  I am one day away from being 38 weeks along and let me tell you:  I have one active baby inside me!  Yes, she loves to move around and kick/punch mommy in the gut, ribs, and pelvis!  Some of these kicks are so strong that I actually jump!  For those of you that don't believe it could get that bad...oh have I got a treat for you!  I recorded a mere 1.5 min video of my belly!  Now this video is only a small taste of what she does ALL DAY LONG!  And yes at night too!  It's no wonder I have such a hard time sleeping.  So without further ado, here is Ms. Isabella Marie Ohrvall staring in her first movie entitled:  Making Waves in Mommy's Tummy.  :) Update on presentation:  Isabella is still breech and we are diligently trying all that we can to ...

37+ Week Update

So I know it has been a while since my last post.  I figured it was about time for me do another update blog on the pregnancy.  It will be pretty short cause there is not much new to report. I had an ultrasound at 36 weeks last week to get  an update on how Isabella is progressing and what position she was in after a few weeks without knowing.  If you have been keeping up with me on facebook then you know how that turned out!  We didn't get any news from the ultrasound other than the fact that Isabella was still sitting comfortably in her breech position. The following Monday we had an appointment with my OB to get the rest of the information that we were wanting to hear.  She told us that Isabella was growing appropriately and was looking healthy!  So good news is awesome to hear!  Of course she then proceeded with the news that we already heard, Isabella is still breech.  We reviewed our options for turning and delivery and decided to t...

China Trip: Xian Smaller Section

We spent a few days in the city of Xian where we were able to see the touristy city as well as an ancient village still living within the boundaries of the Great Wall.  It was interesting to walk around the city and notice the old mixing in with the more modern stuff in both architecture and culture. The first thing that we did when we got into Xian was take a tour of the city wall.  Xian is basically what China considers a small city bordered by 4 walls that they conveniently call the North, East, South and West walls.  The walls were built around the city to protect against unwanted armies with outpost every few meters for soldiers to protect the city.  The big touristy thing to do on the wall is rent a bike and ride all the way around it.  However, with my pregnant belly and all the bumping of the wall's stones we decided against doing that part of the tour and instead we just walked along the East wall while the rest of the group rode around the wall. ...
