spring saturdays, what more can you ask for?

Yesterday was a lovely day for my husband and I. It started out bright and early, 8:00 for me because I had a 9:00 exam. And yes 8:00 is early for me even though Matthew always gets up at around 5:30. Matthew was a sweetheart and made me some breakfast, bacon and biscuits! I left for my biology exam at about 8:30 so that I could get there early and look over my notes one last time. Turns out it was a good thing I got there a little early because some of the fashion students had taken over the room that we were supposed to have our exam in and Dr. Reid had to change it last minute on us. Luckily I was there to witness the change and I knew where to go, others weren't so lucky when they strolled in the new room at around 9:10. I have to say that the exam was not to bad, I finished it in about an hour and was out of there by 10:05. When I got home Matthew was watching his cartoon so we finished that and then got ready for the rest of our day.

The best part of the day was spent at the newly opened North Carolina Museum of Art. Matthew and I took a tour around some of the museum but not all of it because we wanted to leave some for another afternoon and we didn't want to rush through the whole museum in one afternoon. The galleries were beautiful and there were some pretty amazing pieces of art as well as some (we will call them) unique pieces. We spent a good amount of time at the museum and enjoyed every minute of it.

When we left at around 3:30 we had to make a stop by the grocery store to pick of some things that we needed and a few extra things for entertaining Andrew and Tianna. That right Andrew and Tianna came down for the weekend, its too bad that when they did come over we were not able to completely enjoy our time with them because they were tired from their long drive. We completely understood that they would be tired. But we still made quesadillas and tried our best to entertain adn talk to them. They left about an hour and a half later. Matthew and I decided to end the night on a good note and we watched the movie that we had brought for the evening together. The movie was called "The Box" and I have to say it was an interesting yet freaky movie!

Overall I have to say our spring Saturday was one to remember. I enjoy spending time with my husband no matter what the situation is.

5 Months...Really?

As the title suggest, I am entering into month 5 of the pregnancy.  However, I neither feel nor look like I am that far along at all.  I have gained a little bit more energy even though I still like a nap in the afternoons when I can get one.  I also haven't been having any weird pregnancy cravings like what you hear most women have.  I guess ice cream could count as a craving even though it's not really all that crazy for a pregnant woman to want ice cream.  The crazy thing I guess for me would be that I never really ate ice cream that much before I was pregnant and now I want it at least once a week. No weird dreams either; I'd be lucky if I remembered any dreams anyway.  I hardly ever remember my dreams unless they are really horrible nightmares and thank goodness I am not having any of those. We got some new furniture for the nursery today off of a Guam garage sale website.  We got a real nice dresser/changing table combo that I am pretty excited about.  That makes

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 try a procedure called an external cephal

Isabella is 1 Month Old!

So as promised in my last post:  I have some exciting news!  But you must read on and get some baby goodness first! Today is 9/11/14 in Guam and while for some this day is still a tragic memory of the lives lost just a few years ago, today it is a celebratory day for the Ohrvalls because we are proud to have a (no longer newborn) 1 month old in our household!  We are totally smitten with this little one and love her to death even when she wakes us 3-4 times a night and drains us of any real sound sleeping.  But we will forgive her of that and hold it over her head when she is a teenager  (Just kidding...kinda!) Isabella has reached a few milestones already in her short time with us.  Here are some of the things she is doing now: Holding her head up for short amounts of time while having tummy time or being supported as she sits up Following Mommy and Daddy's voices/faces by turning her head towards us Sufficiently putting her hands in her mouth and suckling her fingers Sl
