Before I Was A MoM!
Before I Was A Mom
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 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 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. (My Daughter Jenny sent me this via e-mail this A.M.)

I love being a Mom but I would trade almost anything for just one more day with each of my kids as babies. I would just love to cuddle and snuggle up with them just one more time! Shoot, now I have tears in my eyes.

I'd never thought of that. Shucks, now I'm crying, too. Wouldn't that be special??? And if you could go back with the knowledge you have now, how you would cherish each moment of that day!!!!

I agree Marilyn. Especially with what I am going through now there are so many things I would change with my kids.
