Baby Shower from the Church Family

I had the wonderful honor of being thrown a beautiful baby shower by my church family recently. It was such a great way to share in the love and excitement of this little girl and I am eternally grateful to all of the girls that helped put it all together. There were some great decorations, food and lots of fun games! I had a wonderful time fellow shipping and got lots of cute gifts for baby Ohrvall. Here are a few pictures from the shower.

Some of the girls having fun playing a game where you had to draw a baby on a paper plate while it was on your head! It was a little difficult and we had quite a few funny pictures!

My homemade guestbook with advice from each guest on little onesies. I absolutely loved this idea and the frame and advice is now hanging in baby girl's nursery.

Cutting the cake.

Another game where you had to try and get as many cotton balls into the small bowl as possible in just 3 scoops while blind folded. Funny stuff!

Sorry the pictures got really out of order but this is from the drawing game and me choosing the winner.

I appreciated all the great gifts that baby Ohrvall got at this shower! They will all come in great use!

The cake was really beautiful and even better tasting! :)

We also had some awesome cupcakes from Infusion. (Infusion is like Guam's version of Starbucks.)

Lots of food that everyone brought!

All my gifts! :)

Great bath salt party favors! All homemade too!

Once again I want to thank all the girls that made this possible and for making me feel like I have a family here on Guam!

Thanks for reading!

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
