sick days and guy's night

Today I woke up with the worst sensation that I was going to throw up. I also had a horrible throat pain that came along with the cold room that we slept in that night. (Matthew had the same throat thing) As the morning went on I kept of feeling worse and worse. I didn't know what was wrong with me, and still don't. I got dressed and drove out to the location where we were having senior orientation. As soon as the first person that was supposed to lecture started talking I felt like I was going to pass out if I stayed. I figured it would be rude if I puked or fell asleep during someone's presentation so I decided that it was probably best if I went ahead and went home. I was really upset that I could not hold out for the whole day because now I think that I may have to make up the senior orientation either this summer or next year. That would totally suck! I went home and slept. It was so weird because I had so many different symptoms going through my body (you name it and I probably experienced it at some point today). When Matthew got home from work he was such a sweet heart and he go me a salad, one of the only things that I ate today. Matthew was a very comforting husband and I appreciate him so much! I don't know what I would do without him.

Matthew also had the opportunity to have a guy's night tonight with his buddy Lee who came up from Mount Olive just to chit chat with him. Lee is an awesome friend and he is always there for Matthew whenever he needs a guy to talk to. They left to go to some restaurant about 45 minutes ago. Hopefully they won't stay out to long cause Matthew has to go to work early tomorrow morning because he has modules (tests) tomorrow. Prayer for Matthew and his test would be much appreciated. I am doing some laundry right now and then I am going to head off to bed. I took some sleeping pills so hopefully I will be able to stay up until it is done.

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 ...

Seated with Christ: An Imaginative Activity

This post is from an imaginative activity prompted from the book "Seated with Christ" by Heather Holleman.  The question posed was: "As an imaginative exercise, describe your seat in the heavenly realms with as precise and vivid detail as possible.  What do you see, hear, smell, taste and feel?  What are you wearing?  What are you experiencing in your mind?"  The following is my answer: I'm seated, comfortable and relaxed.  I have no worries.  All I can physically do is sit and stare at the majesty that is my most indescribable Lord that sits before me.  The most magnificent smells of the Earth can not compare to the wondrous smells that permeate the air here.  They remind me of some of my favorite smells on Earth such as lavender, the beach and pine wood needles; but there is something else entirely in the air that I can not put words to.  The songs of angels saturate the air but seem to fade into the background at the same time. ...

Australian Vacation

Hello all!   I know that it has been quite a long time since I last posted a blog but I decided it was time for another post.  Having a little one crawling all over the place really takes up my time now-a-days.  Infact, the only reason I am able to write this now is because she is napping.  Maybe I will be able to get this done in the time it takes for one nap...we shall see.  So here it goes. This past week the Ohrvalls' took a much needed vacation to Cairns, Australia.  Matthew and I had such a blast taking Isabella on her first family vacation but it was difficult to transition our old vacationing without kids mindset and bring it to a vacationing with a baby mindset.  It is quite different going on vacation with an 8 month old than it is with just two adults.  Needless to say, we spent a lot more time in the hotel room during nap time and at parks for playtime.  But we were still able to do a lot of really fun stuff as a family that we ...
