Happy mothers day! Sunday May, 11th.

Before I was a mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not the plants in my house 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 over my mind and 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. Fist word or giggle. 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 as much as I do.
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 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 never knew I would be changed forever!
