I wish I could have felt you kick
I wish I could have seen you breath
I wish I could have seen your tiny hands
I wish I could have seen you smile
I wish I could have seen you roll over
I wish I could have seen your first steps
I wish I could have heard your first words
I wish I could have seen you play with your brother
I wish I could have seen your first day of school
I wish I could have seen you hit your first baseball
I wish I could have been the best father
I wish I could have comforted you when you were sick
I wish I could have seen you with your first girlfriend
I wish I could have helped with your first heart break
I wish I could have prayed with you
I wish I could have seen you play high school football
I wish I could have seen you graduate
I wish I could have seen you go to college
I wish I could have seen you get married
I wish I could have said a toast at your wedding
I wish I could have seen you excell in your job
I wish I could have seen your children
I wish I could have seen you by my bedside when I die
But most of all I wish you could have known how much your mother and I love you.

7 Weeks... oops...
Andrea had her first doctor appointment. Everything went well... BUT... we aren't as far along as we first thought. She is actually at 7 weeks this week... SO... I went back and edited last week and made it 6 weeks... and just so everyone is aware they estimated the due date the first week in December... :)
Our Baby: This week your baby's brain is growing at a mind-boggling 100 cells per minute within a see-through skull. If you could peer inside, you'd see those tiny brain cells growing and growing and growing (about as quickly as you feel like yours are shrinking and shrinking and shrinking with your "pregnancy brain"!). More high points include: Your baby's face is becoming more defined this week. A tiny mouth hole (which will be ready to wail before you know it!), tongue, nostrils and ear indentations are visible. His or her eyes are wide open, but he doesn't have irises (the colored part) yet. Baby's arm buds are growing. At this point they look more like microscopic ping-pong paddles than arms. Baby's leg buds are also forming and will look like tiny paddles by the end of the week.The umbilical cord—the connection between your baby and the placenta—is now visible.Your baby is now between 1/3 and 1/4 inch long—about the length of a Tic Tac and about as heavy as an eyelash. While that sounds tiny, he or she is approximately 10,000 times bigger than at conception. Crazy, huh?
