Before I was a Mom..

This poem so sums up what it's like to be a mom! I am so thankful and amazed with each passing day that God trusted me to be a Mom to such a precious little boy.

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 MomI 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 the words to lullabies. Before I was a MomI didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous or if something was dangerous. 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. More importanly, Before I was a Mom I had complete control of my mind, My thoughts, My bodyAnd I slept all night and got plenty of rest. Before I was a MomI 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 MomI never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him 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 what love at first sight really meant. 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 realize 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 MomI had never gotten up in the middle of the night Every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay or wanted to sleep next to a tiny sleeping body just to listen to him breathe. I had never known The warmth,The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much...Before I was a Mom.

I LOVE being a Mom but even more...I Love being Evan's Mommy!
