nice to read the update Kim
I hope the baby doesnt look anything like the thing Kas painted on your tummy , allthough I know what he thinks of newborns :lol: I have seen enough movies to have all sorts of thought going through my brain right now :eek:maybe Tiemen will be interested in adopting the baby when it turns out to look like Giger's Alien :p
hahahahahahhaah
Well, we said so much… "what if he has a dragons tail.... " hahaha

Fist off..gorgeous tummy. Second good to hear that you are doing good. Just make sure to rest as much as you can/feel like, 'cause once the baby is here, that is over for a while, sometimes a long while..LOL. thirdly enjoy this last couple of weeks, it is a very special time..
-
I love the tummy picture that is great. We needed pictures of you doing the fetch were was the camera?
I am so very happy that you are doing so very well and all is good. Those last few weeks went really fast for me like one day and the next it was over. Well really it was just start but over for the tummy carry.
I can hardly wait to see all the pictures of baby and the dogs I know there are really going to be some great ones.
I would say that you and your husband are very kind that is why the shipping people work so well with you all. One of my hillbilly words (you all). You all must do your job and do it to the best .
Years and years ago I was a owner operator drove eighteen wheeler over the road and the company I was leased to was good to me but I learned you had give to get but they were really good to me.
Please keep us up to date on all of you and the baby. Be careful rest enjoy.

Thank you both very much for your very nice words
We really can't wait to see how the crew will like the new "puppy"

Love the tum pic Kim, very artistic and different. It will be nice to show the baby when he/she is older
Take care -
Your tummy looks wonderful. Kas is quite the talented artist. Does he paint things other than tummies??:D
Maybe he could put his hand to Basenji portraits and make a few extra $$ to put toward that new horse farm or a baby college fund!!:D:D
I'm excited for you and Kas. Can't wait to see new baby pics here. I wonder if the dogs will give you a sign when your time is almost here. That would be sooo cool. They seem to already be keeping watch on you.
Kas, how about a preggers picture with all the pups like attentive midwives surrounding the soon to be new mom???

haha, we both like to draw and paint but Kas is really good at "just" put someting great on paper (or tummy's, so far nothing else :D:D) in a few minutes..
He likes to draw fantasy figures like dragons, castles and of course ships..A friend of us had a German shepard and when she was pregnant of the second child, the dog went to sit on her lap and won't come of… after a few minuts her water broke and she had to go into labor! The dog felt it, and made her mommy calm when it started!
Tonight we're going to make new tummy pics (every month we'll do that) I ask Kas to make a nice pic of me and my "doggie midwives"
-
Maybe we'll get pics of you and the new baby??

You all do some of the coolest things you all are really going to be cool parents and have so much fun. I can hardly wait to see pictures and see whats next.

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!! What great fun. Hope you decide to share:D

Sure! I will post a new fresh tread when the baby arrives!
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!! What great fun. Hope you decide to share:D
First the greatest pic of all.. Chafuko just gave me a kiss…
I'm so happy Kas caught it on camera!
This is the way, the boys sit down when I sit down..
Hailey has her own couch, so I mostly go to her when she wants to hug the baby. (she isn't allowed to jump on the couch were we sit on.. she is a bit rough sometimes hahaha)
And the last one, just me and my tummy.. (I was thinking about cutting my head off the pictures because I hate it to be on a picture.. but okay.. at least I smile!)
-
Kim, you look smashing..I can not believe you are about to have a baby..
The pic with you and all the dogs on the couch is great. My dogs were the same way when I was expecting many moons ago.
Our mutt, Lou, actually acted really weird before my water broke,so I knew that it was getting close..he wouldn't leave me alone, walked right behind me the whole day and night, so close that I always joked, if I were to stop his nose would be in my butt..LOL. -

Great to hear that a lot of dogs actually are feeling the birth is starting in the near future!
All three of the dogs are (i call it) chasing me.. haha They just won't let me out of sight! -
Those are great pics and Momma looks beautiful!
-
Kim! Why would you hate to be in pictures, you are beautiful! Love the belly…can't wait to hear about the new little arrival...won't be long now
-
Thanks for sharing. You look absolutely beautiful. Love the "doggie midwives' especially the tummy kiss. Thanks a bunch to Kas as well.
3 1/2 weeks and counting??? How exciting!!
-
That tummy kiss is great so sweet. I agree with everyone here that said you look beautiful. I like the doggie midwifes that is great. So soon baby in arms I still can hardly wait to see pictures. Thank you for sharing these are great.

Little update…
Sigh, we did have a LOT of unfortune the last weeks with our ship
When we arrived at Bulstringen (germany) they unload us very fast.
But when we called for a starting time to load again, they told us their is another ship before us!
We immediately called a company that makes all the plans for loading and unloading and after 4th time calling them, we called the people of the ship that would load before us, told the story and they said.. I don't mind loading after you.At the way back, we had to fire the boy that worked for us.
it's a boy with a past, we know that, (we are a company with a certificate to offer a job to young people with a bad past)
Well, this boy worked earlier this year for us but had to fire him.
With some other circumstances we took him back and made a very BIG list for him with rules.
Well, Let me say he broke half of it and last week it went too far..
It was so bad, Kas and the boy were so angry that he wanted to leave the ship immediately.. well I spoke to him and Kas, I made then a bit calm and I told him he really had to stay to nieuwegein because I can't do his work anymore...
the hours after that we talked and talked with him, and the real problem turned out.. i won't tell that here because that's his personal problem but we made everyting up.. Yes too late, we won't take him back the third time.
He will stay untill the ship is in Nieuwegein...then, after one day, we were told there was another ship with the same material for the same company :eek: Just a day behind us...
Because we already lost so much time, we had to stay before that ship. and unload as first ship in Hengelo (nl)
We sailed very hard, sometimes untill 3 in the morning and the ship came closer every day..
We stayed before him after all, but we were sooo tired..The had told us the unload us wednesday, so we could sail to nieuwegein at thursday and arrive friday.. and then.. vacation and my due date!
but when we arrived, they needed other material first and they unload us thursday... sigh.. we only had one day left to sail to Nieuwegein....we thought we now had every possible problem on our way but no...
They unload us thursday and we wanted to sail back a piece already and we took off and a few minuts later I saw black smoke at the front of the ship :eek:
The motor in front of the ship stopped running the next moment.
We send the boy to check but he couldn't get near the motor because it was too hot! And everywere was smoke.. no fire.
When a ship is empty, you have not much power backwards with the main engine (the main engine is placed at the back of the ship) because the propellor lies a bit above the water surface.
We had to get the ship to the quay, bit difficult but Kas made it.Our greatest fear became so close then... what if we don't arrive at Nieuwegein on time?!!?!
And what if the motor in front of the ship totally died and have to buy a whole new one (about 20.000 euro's :eek:) Holland has a economical crisis, and especcialy the transport world had it very bad right now. (lot of company's already had to stop and we had a hard time too but we still are one of the company's with not much trouble) but a new motor.. ooo no!That night a machanic came to our ship and came with the results.. we didn't need a new motor!!!
But the reparation would be done after twoo weeks... (dissasemble, order the material and assemble)
And that was a very big dissapointment.. We really didn't want to stay at that place (about 2 hours drive to the hospital, family etc)
So we talked about it and made a decision,
Friday morning, Kas brought me with the dogs and cat to Woerden (that's were my parents live) and he would sail with the boy to nieuwegein. (friday and saturday)
All without the little motor... well I have to say I had to much stress to handle that. (it's a bit rough sailing, and the dogs and cat won't like it)I d?dn't want to share my stor untill I know for sure everyting went well and they are arrived in Nieuwegein without any more problems...
They did....The trip went great, Kas told me he really liked it to sail with a bit excitement and he sure is clever because he usually won;t use the little motor just for fun and to train himselfe... well that's why he didn't had any trouble with sailing without the little motor...
(my man.. :D)They FINALLY arrived at nieuwegein, Kas already is coming to my parents house to pick us all up...
Because it's saturday, the harbor was really busy and we did not got a place direct next to the quay but they had to put the ship next to another ship..
Kas called the man from the ship and told him our story.
I really can't climb over another big ship when I go into labor..
the man reacted: Well I know your problem, in about a few months I have exact the same problem because my wife also is pregnant!
Next monday I'm back at my ship and we will switch places...
I will come lie next to you and you can lie next to the quay!
Kas said he will do that by himselfe without my help (the boy left today and I can't handle the ropes anymore with my tummy. and without a little motor.. it's gonna give me too much stress) But I will help him, I will stand in, in the wheelhouse. If I can do someting, I will.The reparation of the little motor will take place during our holliday (we don;t have to help with that) so when we leave again after our holiday, it all will be fine again.. and safe!
A long update after all...
I have to go one week left, I'm feeling fine. Yes I'm really tired but next to that I'm feeling great.
Maybe the next time I give an update... It will be with pics from the little one with the doggies

OMG Kim,
i was just thinking about you today as you haven't posted for a little while.
Sorry to hear of all you troubles it sounds a nightmare. Glad things are ok now and that the engine is being fixed. Hope you find another person to help on your ship.
Try your best to relax and enjoy your last few days without the baby.
Looking foward to seeing some pics when the little one arrives
