The Highs and Lows of Emotions

Today started and ended as a beautiful day. Jessica and Travis had their 28th week pregnancy 3d/4d ultrasound. Besides Shane and me, there was Aaron, Diane (Travis' mom), and my mom and stepdad witnessing this amazing feat of technology. We were able to see detail features of our Mason. He looks like he will have Jessica's cheeks, lips, and nose. Currently, he is in the breached position but should turn around in the next few weeks. But, his feet were literally poking him in his eyes. It was so cute.

Before we left though we noticed that Sam (our dog of 15 years) was very sick. She hasn't been doing well for a while now. She had heartworms and very bad arthritis. When we came home from the ultrasound we saw she wasn't getting any better so we called the vet. Tonight, we had to have her put to sleep. It was a very sad moment and we shed many tears but we felt we had done the best thing for her. She is no longer suffering. So though the day ended on a sad day it was still a beautiful day for we know that our Sam is in a better place.
