Happy Mother's Day!

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 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 I love you Mom! Happy Mother's Day! I am so blessed to be a mom!
