Before I was a Mom -I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was a Mom -I cleaned my house each day. 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 - Spit on - Chewed on, or 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 that 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 it 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.
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.

How true is that!! You hit it right on the head girl!!! I loved it!
I couldn't agree more. It is crazy how there is no way to describe those feelings until you have them. And once you do, you understand what every mom is talking about!
Well put. It is so nice to hear people relish in motherhood. I just love you! Happy Mother's Day! By the way, Kapri found my blog!! Crazy huh??!!!
Can't wait to see cruise pictures!!!! Heard you guys had a "swing'n" good time, lol!! Did you get my email today?
that is all so true. you said it very well by the way:) there is so much you never realize before you become a mom. no one can ever prepare you for how your life will change.
Amen to that. Happy Birthday to Brielle. The year passed by so fast for us too. Your family is too cute--isn't it weird how fast time flys--I still can't believe we both have 2 kids. Sometimes I am like--am I really a mommy? Funny.
