New Use for the Old Blog

That is right, The Ohrvall's are Going to Guam! I am reusing the old "Ohrvall Year One" blog as the new blog to keep family and friend updated on the life and happening of Matthew and I.

So for those of you that do not know: Matthew is now in the Navy. He is currently in San Antonio, Texas for schooling in the Master at Arms program specializing in Military Working Dog section. He has been away for Boot Camp and training and school since he started in the Navy in August. We have been able to see each other on and off. I saw him for boot camp graduation, then thanksgiving followed by Christmas. Recently, he came back home for a few days when my mom was in the hospital (She is doing better now, resting up and getting some of her energy back.)

All that to say that Matthew has been away for a while and he will stay in San Antonio until this MWD (military working dog) school is over in May. He graduates May 7th and then could either come home for a few days or go straight to guam (that is depending on what the Navy says and we don't like to depend on what the Navy tells us) So we are assuming that he will go straight to Guam.

For the time being I am living with my Nina (mom's mom) and my mother to help them in any way that I can during my mother's recovery. The plan is to move up to Virginia Beach to stay with a friend and fellow Navy wife whose husband is deployed currently. That could happen as soon as this weekend. For now that is what is happening here. I'll keep you guys updated though.

Thanks for reading. Any questions, post in the comments.

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
