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!

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...

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 ...
