Before I Was a Mum...

   Someone sent this to me the other day & I thought it was quite cool.

Before I was a Mum

I had complete control of:

My thoughts

My body

And my mind.

I slept all night.

Before I was a Mum

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 at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mum,

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 I would love being a Mum.

Before I was a Mum,

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 Mum,

I had never gotten up in the middle of the night

Every ten minutes to make sure all was ok.

I had never known the warmth

The joy

The love

The heartache

The wonder

Or the satisfaction of being a Mum.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mum.
