(This is courtesy of Ben's cousin Jill....it's so true, I decided to post it here. She sent it to me after she read my "You know you're a Mom when...." post)
♥ 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 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.
