HAPPY 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 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
