To all the Moms I know...and those I don't

Prettiest 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 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 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.

Send this to someone who you think is a special Mom.

I just did!
