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 do tests. 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 hours
at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just
because I didn't want to put her down. I never felt my
heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop
the hurt. I never knew that something so small could
affect my life 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 my body.. I didn't know how special it
could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that
bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know
that something so small could make me feel so
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, the
heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling
so much, before I was a Mom
