Shamelessly lifted from a email sent to me and shared with you
becasue I understand and support you.
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.
Awww...this is SO true. It got me all choked up!
Before you were a mom, you would have had time to write something like that ...
Wow not a dry eye here. That was beautiful
Don't you love it when an email land in your in box and makes your blogging life just a smidge easier. I'd love for one to smack me upside the head as I have *no* idea what to write about today...
Okay, I need to get a grip.. I am all teared up and missing my son (who just left for school.)
Beautiful, touching. Thanks for sharing!
Before I was a mom, i'm sure I knew how to at least match up my flip flops properly
