Before I was a Mom

 

 

 

 

Before I was a Mom 

I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got
into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.


Before I was a Mom -
I cleaned my house each day.
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.
Spit 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 that 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 it
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.
