Out with the Old and In with the New

That's right! Matthew and I have started a new journey by moving out the comfort of our former apartment and into the atmosphere of our new apartment. It's a new location and a new life for us now but we are looking forward to this new experience. Matthew is closer to work and I am closer to school which are both very good things. More good news is that I finally was able to land a night job. It will bring in a little more of that much needed cash. It is at a library so it will be something that I believe I will enjoy. So all in all we are starting a new leg of this journey we call life and we are living it together. Ready, Get Set, GO!

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
