Gender Reveal!!

It is finally time to reveal what so many people back home are waiting for...the reveal of our baby's gender!  I won't muck up the post with a whole bunch of words, I'll let yall experience it as much as you can through the pictures.  But I do have to say thank you to everyone that helped out and that came out to celebrate with us!  It really came together nicely and was so much better than I could have ever planned on my own!  Matthew and I had a blast and appreciate everything everyone did!

So on to the pictures....

First we went to get the ultrasound done and had the tech put the pictures with the gender in a special envelop for later.


Then we gave that envelop to Stephanie, our cake maker! 


Here are some pictures of the setup of the party.



 Lots of good food!





This is the girls' name suggestion tree.



And this is the boys' name suggestion tree.


This is a gender raffle game that we played.  Turns out .... Matthew won! :)


And finally it came time cut the cake!!


Pre-cake cutting (notice me trying to hide the knife from the picture and failing horribly)


I was soooo nervous!  Matthew and I both were!




Don't you just love our expressions!?


And BABY OHRVALL IS.....


A GIRL!!!!  WE ARE HAVING A GIRL!!



Checking the ultrasound photos!





And now we are both TEAM PINK all the way!!  We are thrilled to be having a beautiful baby girl to add to our family and can't wait to be able to start decorating the nursery! 


THE OHRVALLS' ARE EXPECTING A BABY GIRL!!

5 Months...Really?

As the title suggest, I am entering into month 5 of the pregnancy.  However, I neither feel nor look like I am that far along at all.  I have gained a little bit more energy even though I still like a nap in the afternoons when I can get one.  I also haven't been having any weird pregnancy cravings like what you hear most women have.  I guess ice cream could count as a craving even though it's not really all that crazy for a pregnant woman to want ice cream.  The crazy thing I guess for me would be that I never really ate ice cream that much before I was pregnant and now I want it at least once a week. No weird dreams either; I'd be lucky if I remembered any dreams anyway.  I hardly ever remember my dreams unless they are really horrible nightmares and thank goodness I am not having any of those. We got some new furniture for the nursery today off of a Guam garage sale website.  We got a real nice dresser/changing table combo that I am pretty excited about.  That makes

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 try a procedure called an external cephal

Isabella is 1 Month Old!

So as promised in my last post:  I have some exciting news!  But you must read on and get some baby goodness first! Today is 9/11/14 in Guam and while for some this day is still a tragic memory of the lives lost just a few years ago, today it is a celebratory day for the Ohrvalls because we are proud to have a (no longer newborn) 1 month old in our household!  We are totally smitten with this little one and love her to death even when she wakes us 3-4 times a night and drains us of any real sound sleeping.  But we will forgive her of that and hold it over her head when she is a teenager  (Just kidding...kinda!) Isabella has reached a few milestones already in her short time with us.  Here are some of the things she is doing now: Holding her head up for short amounts of time while having tummy time or being supported as she sits up Following Mommy and Daddy's voices/faces by turning her head towards us Sufficiently putting her hands in her mouth and suckling her fingers Sl
