- Came across this and thought to share with you: - A Mother's Heart
- 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 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 the 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.
- **** I used to have long hours of sleep before Brandon is born and now; I will wake up & peep at Brandon a few times in the night making sure he is sleeping soundly and whether if he is sucking on his fingers to want some milk. . . Are you the same as me?
