Before I was a MOM

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
How totally true.......

Before I was a Mom
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 MomI 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 giveshots.

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 MomI never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put themdown.

I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stopthe 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 importantand happy.
Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes tomake 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.
