Finally Have A Date!

That's right, I finally have a date for when I am heading over to Guam to be with my husband! BUT ... you are going to have to wait for that exciting news while I tell you some other business! :)

First things first: last time I left you I told you about all the paperwork that has to be done before I go to Guam. That is still the same! A lot of paperwork has to happen in order for things to get rolling with the Navy. And it always takes so much longer and is so much more difficult than you think it should be. So what I am waiting to be able to do now are three things: 1) Get my No-Fee Passport (basically a military passport) 2) Get confirmation on shipping the household goods to Guam. 3) Find the best time to take the car up to Portsmouth, VA to be shipped out as well.

The No-Fee Passport is something that has to be done in VA too. So the car and the passport may get done in the same day. The only problem is that it has to be done on a weekday and Nina, Mom and I want to make a weekend trip of it. So there is a scheduling thing to work out there.

Shipping the household goods is supposed to happen on the 15th of July but I have to keep calling and checking when the paperwork has been processed to make sure that date stays the same. That day should be a fun day though! (note: there is sarcasm accompanying that last sentence)

OK, now for the information that you have all been waiting for. I have a flight out of RDU for July 31st. It is a Wednesday morning flight and I will be getting to Guam on August 2nd at about 2am (their time). I also have a 6 hour layover in Japan! So if anyone has been in the Tokyo airport and has any suggestions for what to do for 6 hours please let me know!

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
