Short Hiatus, All Stitched Up Now

Hey guys, I know I haven't posted in a while but I have A GOOD REASON!!

I had a little accident this past Wednesday that I would rather not go into details about on the blog.  (I don't really want the whole world to be able to read about it.)  BUT... if this is family reading this, and you feel like you need to know all the details, then you can talk to my mom or dad because they both know what actually happened.

SO ... this 'thing' that happened caused me to have to take my first ride in an ambulance and get my first ever stitches!  Yep, that's right I had to get stitches.  I got them in my upper right arm, seven total.  NOT FUN!

That, my friends, is why I have not been able to write a blog the past few days.  I have not known how to even go about telling you all.  Hence, I came up with the above solution.  But now this puts a damper on all of the fun Guam stuff that I have been doing or planning on doing for the next few weeks.  Stuff like hiking and snorkeling and basically anything where I have to move my arm too much or get wet.  I am not able to go swimming because I can't get the stitches wet.  So Matthew and I are trying to figure out what there is to do on Guam that is 'stitches friendly' :)

Today Matthew went snorkeling and I did some tanning and reading on the beach.  I have to work on getting this sports bra tan line taken care of because I wore my sports bra and tank top when we were power washing the house last weekend.  That was a  lot more fun that I thought it would be.  Power Washing is fun when you have someone to take over when the vibration gets to be too much! lol.  Now the house and the walkways look much better.  More curb appeal in a neighborhood where all the houses look the same!

I have also been trying this week to get all the information filled out and completed for getting a substitute teaching job with DODEA (Dept of defense education admin).  I want to get into the schools as a sub and see what they are like before I decide if I want to teach there.  But man oh man are these applications tedious!  I have had to get so much stuff filled out it is crazy.  But I guess that is to be expected with a government organization.  Background checks and all.  Hopefully they will accept me!



So to end this post I just have to tell you all that I AM FINE and THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY about me.  I will get my stitches out next Friday and will heal up just fine.  I still plan on getting out there and doing everything that Guam has to offer, it is just gonna take a little longer to get there.  :)

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 ...
