Before I was a Mom...

       Three beautiful blessings, Three bundles of pure joy, Three precious hearts...that I am 
       privileged to call mine...

        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 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.
        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.
