Mom To Be

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 had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on -

Chewed on, or 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.

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.
