Before I was a Mom

[MavericksMom26]

Before I was a Mom

I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.

I never worried whether or not my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

I never had been puked on.

Pooped on.

Chewed on.

Peed on.

I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.

I slept all night.

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.

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 I could love someone so much.

I never knew I would love being a Mom.

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.
