pregnancy poems
I found some good poems about being pregnant,some are mushy,some are funny.I'm pregnant...this is one of the only times in my life I'm allowed to be super emotional!!!
*In six months' time,
When my body is mine
And I can eat what I please
I'll eat pate and tripe
Drink wine and Red Stripe
And mountains of unpasteurised cheese.*
*As I write this I am aware
of Feelings Deep of How Much I care
You grow inside me little heart beating strong
though I had my doubts I now know it's not wrong
You weren't planned but now I know
how much you are wanted as each day you grow
I pray for your health I ask God each day
to let you be healthy in every way
You aren't an accident you're not a mistake
you're the best of surprises two people could make!
*My life is your life
You breathe as I breathe
I am making a person
I can hardly believe
You are all that I am
And all that I do
My whole world waits
For the arrival of you
It was such a suprise
To find you were there
Then all of the tears
Came from no-where
As my cheeks were damp
With tears of suprise and joy
I started to wonder
A girl, or a boy?
We have not even met
This much is true
But I can't imagine
My life without you
For now my sweet child
I will just have to wait
For the delivery
Of my fate
So until your arrival
Patience is fine
But I can't wait to kiss you
Sweet child of mine
*They didn't tell me....
About the way I'd feel about being fat
As my tummy grows bigger, feeling unattractive
They didn't tell about all that.
They didn't tell me....
About the sickness, my head constantly down the loo
They made it sound as if it wasn't too bad
Is that what they told you?
They didn't tell me....
About the aches and pains
As my body is stretched to the max.
I feel they let me into this without knowing all the facts!
They didn't tell me...
About the sleepless nights
When you play football with my ribs
And it gets worse as you get bigger
I think they told me fibs
They did tell me...
That I would bloom, I'd look perfect from the start
I felt fat and bloated
I must have slept right through that part.
But they did tell me...
Of the way I'd feel when you were here
They said I'd be so happy
And maybe shed a tear
They told me....
That my world would change
And that is more than true
They told me it was worth it
If at the end I could have you
My Baby
*Hello Mummy,
are you there?
I can't see you yet
And the wait I can't bear.
I'm inside your tummy
But I can hear your voice
I want to come out
But it's not my choice
You keep me warm
and feed me too
I know you'll love me
My whole life through
I hear your heartbeat
It calms me so
Will I hear it outside?
I just don't know
But one thing is sure
When I come out of your tummy
I know life will be good
Coz' you are my Mummy
*Running errands and talking on the phone,
I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone.
Little tiny hands a precious rounded knee
pushing and twisting that no one can see.
Oh sweet child kicking up your heels,
it is our little secret that only I can feel.
I look forward to your birth,
when I can kiss your skin,
but for now I will just smile,
As I feel you play within.
*Blessings upon you, my baby unborn
Safely inside me, asleep and so warm,
Sleep must come easy to those who are unborn,
As the maker so silently fashions your form.
Sleep, while you can, so watery and warm,
For outside this world is a terrible storm,
Soon you'll discover the taste of your tears,
So sleep now my loved one, my Baby, my Dear.
*"If Men Got Pregnant..."
Maternity leave would last two years... with full pay.
There would be a cure for stretch marks.
Natural childbirth would become obsolete.
Morning sickness would rank as the nation's #1 health problem.
All methods of birth control would be 100% effective.
Children would be kept in the hospital until toilet trained.
Men would be eager to talk about commitment.
They wouldn't think twins were so cute.
Sons would have to be home from dates by 10:00 PM
Briefcases would be used as diaper bags.
Paternity suits would be a fashion line of clothes.
They'd stay in bed during the entire pregnancy.
Restaurants would include ice cream and pickles as main entrees.
Women would rule the world!! :-)
*What's a Mother's Work Worth?
This was a short article in my May 2002 Family Circle
A Whopping $641,900 annually, according to the 2001 Mother's Day Study conducted by Edelman Financial Services. Last year mother's earned a $64,800 raise, say Ric Edelman, study designer, financial and author of Discover the Wealth Within You (HarperCollins). The pay scale is derived by totaling the average salaries of 17 occupations that a multi-tasking mother performs during the course of a year, including executive chef ($64,800) child-care worker ($15,400)
psychologist ($47,000), housekeeper ($14,600) and management analyst ($56,500) and animal caretaker ($17,200). How does mom's salary measure up against other well-known head of the house-The White
House, that is? The President of the United States earns $400,000 per year-less than the projected salary for mothers. Then again, the president probably doesn't have to cook or take care of the pets.
*If a child lives with criticism,
He learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility,
He learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule,
He learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame,
He learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, He learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement,
He learns confidence.
If a child lives with fairness,
He learns justice.
If a child lives with security,
He learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval,
He learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
He learns to find love in the world.
