Before I was Mom...

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys.
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 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 him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop his 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... so much.




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
the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom.


I wouldn't trade anything to have the life I had before I was a mom...
I love being a mom!


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU WONDERFUL MAMA'S!





Thanks for stopping by...


Peace and Love
XOXO,

  2. Loved this....found a quote a few months ago, I don't know where it came from, but I created it as a sign for my daughter who just had a daughter last week. It's the sweetest thing ever:

    "No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all, you know what my heart sounds like from the inside."

    Happy Mother's Day :)
