BEING A MOMMY





Before I was a Mommy, 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 Mommy - 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 Mommy 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 Mommy I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them 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 Mommy so much.

Before I was a Mommy - 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 Mommy - 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 Mommy.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mommy!



BEING A MOMMY, IS THE MOST WONDERFUL JOB I HAVE EVER HAD!
