Snorkeling...First Underwater Shots!

So this weekend we actually got some decent weather for a day! Matthew and I ventured over to GabGab Beach and went snorkeling on Saturday morning. The weather had been so wet for so long that we hadn't been out snorkeling in a while! But we finally got some weather that looked good:

Blue skies with very little cloud coverage! Just the way we like our snorkeling days!

So we loaded up all of our gear and a few things to enjoy the sun with and headed into the water.

Our new camera can be fully submerged in water for up to 120 minutes at a time so we took it out with us to get some pictures of the life under the surface. Thought you guys might like to see some of the awesome coral life that we see all over the place out there. Now granted this is our first time using this camera underwater, some of the pictures might now be of great quality but we will get better with practice. Some of them actually turned out really well. It was hard to see the screen of the camera under the water so looking at the pictures later was kind of treat for us too. So here they are:

So overall a pretty good time out exploring the reefs of Guam. Saw some awesome fish and coral life and got a good work out as well. Spent some time laying around on the beach reading, sunbathing and talking with Matthew before we headed back to the house. Hope you enjoyed all of our pictures! :)

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 ...
