To all my blog readers, I would like to take the time to share something with you I haven't really yet. On February 17, we became the legal guardian to my foster brother, just 5 days before we found out about Robs cancer. He has stayed with us for the past 4 months. The first few months were really good, he was a lot of fun to be around, he brought a smile to my face, he thinks about things so differently it made me laugh. For example there is a song my Rihanna that says "whats my name", he said to me I don't like that artist she doesn't even know her own name, lol then this other song by Bruno Mars is "I'd catch a grenade for you", he says dude if she is getting grenades thrown at her she is probably messed up in some bad stuff. Lol! always made me laugh. The boys loved him so much. He was always polite when we had people over and when we went places. Then all of sudden something changed, and things started going down hill, they spiraled out of control and I couldn't reach out to him. I tried so hard. He has left us just last week and left us a parting bill, we don't know the cost yet till we get an estimate done. As much as I know that we couldn't be the people he needed, it is so sad to see him leave us. I feel like I lost a child of my own, it hurts a lot and I miss him very much. I feel like I failed, I know that is not whats important, its important that we tried.

On another note Rob and I went to his appointment for blood work. The doctor was very happy with the progress Rob is making and said if he is up to going back to work in August then go for it. He has a CT scan scheduled for July 19.

I went for an ultrasound today and they updated their equipment, it was so amazing to see the baby, I could make out what we were looking at without her telling me what it was. It wasn't as alien looking, you could actually see the white of the eye. The baby's foot is 2.18" long, so tiny and you could see all 5 toes. The baby is measuring just right for 18 weeks, everything looks good and normal. I will post later the gender of the baby for now it is a surprise for our parents.
