Before I was a Mom

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 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

how 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.
