Meet Pluto!



This is Pluto!  He will be hanging out with us for the next couple of months because he is retiring from the military and going to a nice home in the states.

ABOUT PLUTO:
Pluto is 11 years old and has been in the military since he was a pup.  He is a Belgian Malinois and has been 'stationed' in Guam the entire time that he has been in the Navy.  He was a detector military working dog who went on 3 deployments and probably saved dozens if not hundreds of lives.  He is a military hero and we are proud to be keeping him and getting him adjusted to the civilian dog life.  A life of relaxation compared to what he is used to! 



For those of you wondering, yes he is a BIG dog!  BUT...he has been trained so well that I don't have to worry about him dragging me around at the end of the leash! :)  He loves to be petted and brushed down.  Like all dogs, he has his temperaments but he is also very playful.



For now we are getting him adjusted to his new home.  He will be staying in his crate in the back laundry room save a few walks and to eat throughout the day.  This will go on probably for about 4 days and then we will slowly move him into 'family time' where he spends time with us in the house.  Eventually we are hoping to get him to a point where he can hang out in the house without tearing the place down or using the bathroom inside.  Remember:  he has spent his whole life in a kennel where he could tear up anything that came into it and he could use the bathroom whenever he wanted to.  

So Pluto is here to stay for the next few months.  He has been adopted out and is supposed to leave mid October.  Here's hoping that we don't get too attached! :)

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...

China Trip: Xian Smaller Section

We spent a few days in the city of Xian where we were able to see the touristy city as well as an ancient village still living within the boundaries of the Great Wall.  It was interesting to walk around the city and notice the old mixing in with the more modern stuff in both architecture and culture. The first thing that we did when we got into Xian was take a tour of the city wall.  Xian is basically what China considers a small city bordered by 4 walls that they conveniently call the North, East, South and West walls.  The walls were built around the city to protect against unwanted armies with outpost every few meters for soldiers to protect the city.  The big touristy thing to do on the wall is rent a bike and ride all the way around it.  However, with my pregnant belly and all the bumping of the wall's stones we decided against doing that part of the tour and instead we just walked along the East wall while the rest of the group rode around the wall. ...
