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...

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. ...
