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...

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. ...
