 ~BEING A MOM~ Before I was a Mom I made and ate hot meals. I had unstained clothing. I had quiet conversations on the phone. 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 lullabies.  Before I was a Mom 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 Peed on Or pinched by tiny fingers.  Before I was a Mom I had complete control of my mind My thoughts My body And my mind. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child So the 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 effect 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 of 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!! ~Author Unknown   Thank you Ryan for all the love you have brought to my Life. I love you! ~Mom
