"Before I Was A Mom" - Sunday Snapshot

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 or pooped 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 her 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 lovebeing 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.


It is hard for me to remember life before becoming a Mom and there is nothing that gives me greater joy. Everyday I look at three smiling faces and know that I am blessed beyond measure to have the best job in the world!

Happy Mother's Day to all!

~Enjoy your special day~



**This was a poem that I received in one of those chain emails. I thought it was really cute, so I added my own photos**

The dresses and leggings the girls are wearing in these photos and the ones they wore on Easter Sunday were from Art and Soul Boutique. A few of you left comments on Wednesday and I forgot to come back and post the link. To visit Art and Soul Boutique, click HERE.
