Ode to Mommies

mommy-and-baby.jpgBefore 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. ♥    ~Author Unknown~
