Before I was a mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry wether 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 thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a mom I had never held down a screaming baby 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 later hours 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 the hurt. I never knew that something so small could effect my life so much. I never knew I could love something so much. I did always know I would love being a mom, but I didn't realize my love would consume me completely. Before I was a mom I didn't know the feeling of having your heart outside of your body. I didnt know it could feel so special to feed a hungry baby. I didnt know the bond between a mother and her child. I didnt 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 ten minutes just 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 such a precious little boys mom.
