Belly Pictures (First 3 Months)

I am now 15 weeks prego and my belly is starting to look more rounded than flabby.  Hooray for that!  I can still hide it pretty well and most people would never suspect that I am pregnant.  I am going to enjoy this time while I can because I have heard from multiple people that once I start to look like I am carrying a basketball in my belly then I will miss these days!  So for now I will post the first of the prego belly pictures.  Please don't judge my amateur photography skills too much!   Hoping to maybe be able to get some professional pictures taken when I am a little further along.

Here they are:


I think that the 2nd and 3rd months pictures look so similar!  You can't really even see much of a difference. But I am supposed to be gaining about a pound a week during the second trimester and I already weigh more now than I ever have my entire life!  It's crazy to weigh myself and see bigger numbers than I am used to.

I am still being active as much as I can and going to the gym with the hubby.  My workouts have changed a lot though because I notice myself feeling muscles burn a lot easier than before I was pregnant so I burn out a lot faster.   But here is hoping that the only things that really grow on me are my hips and belly! :)

Thanks for reading!

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 ...

Burn It Down | October 17, 2018

I want to tell you all a little story about a day that I had recently, yesterday in fact! I'll start where my day always seems to start: Six am on the dot with a mouth breathing Isabella standing right beside my bed.  Anyone else have one of those type of children?  The ones that wake at the same absurd hour of the early morning? Both of my children have inherited that lovely trait from their father, not from me! Anywho, I could sense that she was there; standing beside me, staring at me, willing me to wake up.  You know, that ability to feel someone's presence before you actually see them?  Yep, that is how I wake up most mornings since Matthew left on his deployment. And so the day started!  Conner was already awake as well, I could hear him 'talking' to himself in his bedroom.  So in we went to get Conner up and changed to bring downstairs with us.  Only problem, Conner woke up on the wrong side of the bed on this particular morning.  So ...

Australian Vacation

Hello all!   I know that it has been quite a long time since I last posted a blog but I decided it was time for another post.  Having a little one crawling all over the place really takes up my time now-a-days.  Infact, the only reason I am able to write this now is because she is napping.  Maybe I will be able to get this done in the time it takes for one nap...we shall see.  So here it goes. This past week the Ohrvalls' took a much needed vacation to Cairns, Australia.  Matthew and I had such a blast taking Isabella on her first family vacation but it was difficult to transition our old vacationing without kids mindset and bring it to a vacationing with a baby mindset.  It is quite different going on vacation with an 8 month old than it is with just two adults.  Needless to say, we spent a lot more time in the hotel room during nap time and at parks for playtime.  But we were still able to do a lot of really fun stuff as a family that we ...
