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.

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. ...
