On the Beach

I wanted to clear up the questions of whether the island of Guam is a tropical island....YES IT IS!  I took some pictures of the beach when I was there this weekend for you all to see.  I have been to the beach every day since I got here because it is just a short drive away and there are multiple beaches to choose from.

The classic laying out shot with legs! lol.

This is the way most beaches look.  About 5 feet with clean sand then another 5 feet of shells and coral leading into the ocean.

The darker spots in the water are where the coral is.  The lighter spots are safe to go in without water shoes.

It's mostly coral.

The sandy part right before all the foliage.

Gonna snorkel over to this small section of the island.

Enjoying the beach and the sun!  I've already gotten like 3 shades darker!

There are lots of these little suckers sneaking around on the beach.  Hermit Crabs!

So as you can see, Guam is very tropical and beautiful.  The water is warm and salty!  The sun is bright and there always seems to be a storm looming off the island that may or may not hit you.  When a storm does hit it just brings a quick downpour or sprinkle and moves right on out.  Matthew and I went in to Home Depot to get curtains with a storm looming and came out after it finished raining.  Total of about 20 minutes and the sun was shining again! Life is good!

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. ...
