Love,

Before I was a Mom,I had never been puked on.Pooped on..Chewed on.Peed on.I had complete control of my mindand 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 nightwatching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom,I never held a sleeping baby just becauseI didn't want to put him/her down.I never felt my heart break into a million pieceswhen I couldn't stop the hurt.I never knew that something so smallcould 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 ofhaving my heart outside my body.I didn't know how special it could feelto feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bondbetween a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so smallcould make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom,I had never gotten up in the middle of the nightevery 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.I had never known the warmth,the joy,the love,the heartache, the wondermentor the satisfaction of being a Mom..I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,before I was a Mom.
