Its hard to understand sometimes that when sad things happen they really do happen for a reason. Today Oct. 19th 2009 we had to put our best friend, companion and as close to one of our children to rest. Rocky Roemer was with us for 10 wonderful years. He was truly in our eyes the best dog we could have ever had. When we found out 5 months ago that Rocky had bone cancer our lives were turned upside down. Never did we think this was going to happen so terribly soon, and that it would be one of the worst cancers you could get. But we knew we had one last summer with him and life went on. We then found out 2 weeks later that I was pregnant, and a week after that pregnant with our twins. Rocky knew it was his time and so did God. I truly believe this was Gods plan all along. As I remember today I can say it was the perfect day for him. It was beautiful outside and he just laid in the glory of the sun, something he loved to do. At times we questioned ourselves, but there was a sadness in his eyes that showed his true pain. Things will never be the same without him, but we know he is up in heaven surrounded in a pool of thousands of tennis balls eating ice cream.!!
Last week Paul and I went in for our big ultrasound. Baby A is laying on my left lower side and Baby B is laying on my Right upper side. Both babies right now are head down. Baby A was consistanly kicking Baby B in the head. Paul and I looked at each other and said "it's starting already." Baby A's heartbeat was 145 and Baby B's was 165. Both as far as they could tell look great. 20 weeks and counting, the time is flying by. I go back in on November 11 and I will again give you all an update.
