~ Before I Was A Mom ~
Before I was a Mom...
I made and ate hot meals.
I had unstained clothing.
I had quiet conversations on the phone.
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 lullabies.
Before I was a Mom...
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,
or pinched by tiny fingers.
Before I was a Mom...
I had complete control of my mind, my thoughts, my body and my bladder.
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
or make me feel so important..
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 had never gotten up in the middle of the night every ten minutes
to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonder,
the fulfillment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much...before I was a Mom.
