What's Matthew Up To?

Today I wanted to take some time to tell you all what my wonderful husband has been up to!  I am so super proud of everything that he has been doing lately.  He has had a leadership role thrust upon him and has stood up to the challenge so well!  There are quite a few things that have had him pretty busy lately (not to mention having a pregnant wife with crazy hormones to contend with too.)

Besides the leadership role within his job, Matthew has also been volunteering his time with an organization on base and in the Navy called 'C-SADD' the Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions.   He has been helping them out with the meetings and gatherings that they have had.

Something that I know Matthew is both excited and nervous about is his upcoming half marathon that he will be running in this weekend!  He has been running for a long time (since before he joined the Navy) and now he wanted to push himself by signing up for this half-marathon.  It is an international marathon that is held on Guam every year where the runners are basically running around the whole island!  (Well maybe that is a little bit of an exaggeration!)  But they do run a good portion of the island!  Matthew has been working on getting his mileage up in his runs to prepare for the half marathon and I have been very proud of him for push himself into doing this just to get his body pushed to that limit and see what it can do.

The BIGGEST thing that has been happening with Matthew recently and the one that I am MOST PROUD of him for is the fact that he is in the running for Sailor of the Quarter for this quarter!  Yepp, my man, who has done so much for the Navy in the short amount of time that he has been in is getting some much deserved recognition!  He has not won yet; he still has to go through an interview process and such but he is one of two (as far as we know).  Even if he doesn't get the honor placed on him it is still a huge honor to be recognized for such an award because it means that other people can see how hard he has been working, not just me!

So to my hubby:

I love you so much sweetie and I am so proud of everything that you do for our growing family, for the Navy, and for yourself!  You are such a great man of God and deserve everything that you have worked so hard to attain.  I know that you are going to be a wonderful father to our beautiful daughter and still have the ability to keep up all your hard work with everything else!

Tonight, I am treating my Mister-Right to the newly reinstated Mongolian Grill at the Top of the Mar restaurant because back home we used to love going to Crazy Fire Mongolian Grill.  Hopefully this one is just as good!  :)  (Hopefully, he won't be too upset or embarrassed that I put all this up here!  So modest!!)

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. ...
