Maternity Photos with Name Reveal!

That's right!  The time as finally come that we feel ready to make the name of our little girl public knowledge!  Lots of people have been asking and we didn't want to give it away too soon.  There are lots of reasons for wanting to keep the name a secret but now we feel confident in our choice.

Some of the reasons for keeping this to ourselves up until now include:
1) It was fun to have a secret from everyone!
2) We wanted to avoid any swaying or pressure to change the name
3)  We wanted to make sure that we were comfortable with the name that we had chosen.

So, before we do the big reveal, here are some of the maternity photos that we had done last week just in time for the 4th of July and Matthew's Birthday!  Happy early Birthday to my wonderful hubby!!










The last one is my favorite!  We purposely chose an evening sunset time to try and get a good sunset photo and I am very pleased with the way that this one turned out.

And now...for the big reveal!




Isabella is an old fashioned name but a name that has held a special place in my heart for quite some time.  I have always loved the older names for a girl and when we found out that we were having a girl Isabella was the first name that I thought of.  The meaning of this name is also a big part of why it was so easy to get Matthew to agree to.  Isabella means 'consecrated to God'.  In other words it means she is solely dedicated to God.  What better way to enter the world?

The middle name was a different story completely.  It was difficult to find a middle name that we both liked and that had a good flow for her full name.  Matthew ultimately came up with Marie as the middle name and it was the one that sounded the best out of everything else we tried.

We have had this name picked out for months now and of course we have been talking to 'the bump', our daughter, using her full name.  It is so ingrained now that there is no way that this little bundle could be anyone else than Isabella Marie Ohrvall.

And so, we hope that you all will share in our excitement when we finally bring little Isabella Marie into this world in just a few short weeks!

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 ...
