M. Bryo Smit

We had another doctor's appointment on Monday! Woohoo! Bryo's heartbeat: check, Bryo's spine: check, Bryo's head, stomach and a little arm: check check and check!

Monday was our 4th ultrasound, and it looks like we're at 8 weeks today. I thought I was a little closer to 9 weeks, so I was off by about a week. So it looks like we could have a little Aquarius on our hands rather than a Capricorn. We'll just have to wait and see!
Dr. Schwartz estimates little Bryo to be here on or about Jan. 21, 2010.

I got another very painful progesterone shot. Woohoo only 5 more to go! Still no real nausea, just tired. Lucky for me I have a couch in my office and a wonderful boss who lets me nap at work. I go back in 4 weeks for my blood work, another ultrasound and maybe to hear a heartbeat. Ohhh I love the Germans!! If it were up to me, I'd be birthing all my kids here!

Other possible names for Bryo:

Cork
Boyce
Tagg Euritt (say it fast!)

Ginger

Overcome with JOY about losing her status: 'the baby of the family'

Nachtfischen (German, I hope! for 'night fishing')

The boat!


The crew feeds fish and stingrays before the trip starts - very entertaining!


This is the small stingray 2-3ft wide - I never got a good shot of the BIG white one - about 4ft wide


The black one was about 3ft wide




Sadly I didn't get any photos of Brian fishing - but i did get one of Josh!


Josh's Moray - Which never made it into the boat - the captain cut the line.

We had them grilled for us! YUM!


Oh and by the way, I'm pregnant.

Maldives...

I'm going to take a break from posting our Normandy/Paris/Sardinia pictures from April - yes April - to post some photos from the Maldives. One of these days I promise I will finish that!

We had an amazing week of laying on the beach, hanging out with great friends, eating some AMAZING food, fishing, snorkeling, and just relaxing! As always Brian and I compete at everything - everything - and he usually wins. This may come as a shock to some people but *I* yes I caught more fish than Brian and I will never let him live that down. Ever.

I'll break this up into a few posts so the photos aren't too bad!

McArabia! The BEST sandwich EVER from McDonalds! (Our layover in Dubai one of the most amazing airports ever)

A cool ship! Even if it is a little beat up.
