Happy (early) Mother's Day!
Before I was a Mom:
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom:
I had never been puked on.Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom:
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could dotests. Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late h ours a t night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom:
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't wantto put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when Icouldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect mylife so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom:
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside mybody.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungrybaby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her ch ild.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feelso important and happy.
Before I was a Mom:
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every
10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, theheartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before Iwas a Mom.
