throbbing feet and delivery pizza

Today Matthew and I had this wonderful idea that since we did not have anything planned for our Saturday that we would go for a walk. It started off with just a walk around the lake off from our apartment and ended up with us walking all the way to Crabtree Valley Mall. For those of you that don't know, the mall is about 5 miles away from the apartment. We were all hyped up that we were going to walk to the mall and eat some lunch then go to best buy to look at receivers for speakers that we may get from my brother. The walk down there was not to bad. It took us a little under an hour to get down to the mall. The last stretch I have to say was the worst for me because Matthew was walking faster since he knew that we were almost there. We took a go amount of time eating and sitting down in the mall so that we could relax a little. By this time I was in a little bit of pain from all the walking on hard pavement with shoes that I don't wear all that often. The part that I was dreading was the walk back. I was so dreading it that I convinced Matthew to check out the bus schedule to see when the next bus to our area would be coming through. Turns out that the next bus would be there in over an hour...less than what it took us to walk there.

Thus with all that said and done, and all my options of all other ways home were ruled out, we headed out on our journey home. Basically this was the worst part of the day and I got really frustrated with the whole situation. My feet were soar, my knees were aching (talk about getting old), and all my energy had been sucked out of me. Let's just say that I probably was not the best person to be around at about that time. My lovely husband, bless his heart, tried his best to cheer me up with ice cream. The only thing was that he got the exact ice cream that I told him (but he didn't hear me) I did not like. Oh well. We took a few breaks and in the end we made it home. As soon as we got home I took off my socks and shoes and laid down on the coach and haven't really gotten up but about 3 times the rest of the night.

We went ahead and ordered pizza for dinner and watched a couple movies. Now my husband has drawn me a hot bath since my body is not quite agreeing with me. I shall be going to enjoy that now!

Bathe in Epsom salt. Helps to 'pull out' the soreness. True. Next time at the grocery or drug store, pick some up and store in your bathroom closet. Then you'll be ready for that next sore occasion.

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. ...
