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.

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 ...
