I was on my myspace the other day and I can across something that just made my heart smile and thought I would share...
Before I was a 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 her 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 how 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.
