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 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 hap py 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. Send this to someone who you think is a special Mom. Including the Person who thought of you today and sent it to YOU... :) Applies doubly to Grandmothers!!!
