Before I was a mom...

Saw this somewhere & thought it was so appropriate! Enjoy!!!

♥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 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 them 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.
