two moms

This past weekend Matthew and I had our first mother's day when we both had two mothers to celebrate! In order to honor both of our mother's we had to split the day between the two. Matthew's mom, my mother-in-law, came to our new church with us on Sunday morning. It was a great service and I think that she enjoyed it very much. After church we took her out along with Morgan to Panera Bread for a mother's day lunch. It was a great time of food and conversation and we even got a surprise visit from Dean and Kylie. Unfortunately I had to leave the gathering prematurely in order to make the mac-and-cheese that I had promised for our mid-day extravaganza with my mother. I went back to the apartment at 2:00 to uphold my promise and await my mother's arrival. When my mom finally arrived we had to wait for Matthew to get back from spending time with his mother. It didn't take long because he knew that we had things to do and places to be.

We all piled into my mother's car and we were off to my brother's house to have a mother's day dinner and spend time together. It was also a big thing to mention that my brother recently became a father so we had to see the baby as well. We all hung out and ate some food, cause food is always at the center of most any gathering. It was a great time celebrating mother's day at my brother's and hanging out with little Wesley Allen.

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...

April Update

I thought that since I had not given an update in a while that is was about time I did.  So I am going to tell you what has been going on this past month. Matthew First  (because his is shorter than mine): Matthew had his certification test this past month as well as his E4 qualification exam.  He took the E4 exam before he had certification tests.  The E4 exam has a lot to do with why he was assigned to unaccompanied travel to Guam.  He was supposed to be ranked up to an E4 before he could be sent overseas as a accompanied traveler.  (If that doesn't make sense to you...join the club)  But, luckily  Matthew feels like he did well on the exam so hopefully he will be ranked up to an E4 and there won't be any controversy over me joining him in Guam.  Then there's the certification tests; these are the tests that he takes at the school for learning how to be a Naval K9 handler.  Matthew feels that he did really well on these tests ...
