Before I was a Mom
Before I was a Mom - I slept as late as I wanted and never worried
about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my 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 immunizations.
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
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 it 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. 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.
And before I was a Grandma, I didn't know that all those "Mom" feelings
more than doubled when you see that little bundle being held by your
baby...
