Before I was a Mom

Before I was a mom..
I never worried
about how i late i get into bed.
i brushed my hair and 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 immunization.

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 the doctors could do test.
Or give shots. I never looked into a teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat hours late at night watching my baby sleep.

Before I was a mom...
I never held a sleeping baby because i dont want to put him down.
I never felt my heart breaks 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 how special it is to be called mama.
I didn't know that bond between the mother and her child.

Before I was a mom..
I 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 of satisfaction for being a mom.
i didn't know i was capable of feeling so much before i was a mom.

Before i was a mom...
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and so happy.
I didn't know the true meaning of the word MOTHER.

I think all mothers will agree with this..happy weekened to all ...mwaaah.
