Before you were Moms.................

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.
Pee-ed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give meds or do a blood draw.
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 someone 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 someone 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 listen to the rhythm
of an infant's breathing.
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.
My Niece sent me this. I just thought it was fitting for Mothers Day.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO EVERY MOM HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Before I was a mom I didn't know that a husband saying to a wife, "no, you sleep, I'll feed the baby" was one of the most glorious phrases in the English language.
And before I was a mom I didn't know how incredible it was to watch a dad hold a baby.

Before I was a Mom I didn't understand the meaning of the phrase "time flies"....
No one will convince me that it wasn't just last week I held that baby in my arms, not 16 years ago.

Thanks for that -- Before I was a Mom, I didn't know a lot of things.... especially that the little baby would grow up and make me a Granny some day and that would be a whole new set of joys.....
Happy Mother's Day to all of us Mom's.
Hugs BD

LOL! There's a irreverent side of me that just keeps thinking
Before I was a mom............I was a virgin!
Truly, to all the Mom out there, I hope your day is filled with love and laughter with your family.
(My husband took me out for Brunch, because we are going to my daughter's for dinner-and we both can't get used to her vegan menus..............but I love her to pieces for thinking of us!)
My son sent me a dozen white roses, and my grandson actually KISSED! ME!  (10 yr old boys are not inclined to kiss females.well, males either, for that matter!

All of those are true and some have a very personal and special meaning............but
Before I was a mom, I didn't know that clusterheadaches were the worst pain in the world.

Me too Cathi, now which one of us carried the holy one and which the evil one? 
Before I was a mom, life dragged on. Now it flies way to fast.

Before I was a mom....
I was a teenager. (why does that *not* surprise some of you?)
I couldn't understand why parents couldn't just stop being parents when the kids grew up.
The sound of a child's laughter didn't make me grin like it does now.
