Before I was your mom...

Okay, I should first start by saying that I found a post similar to this one on a very nice mommy-blog and  I loved it so much that I decided to adapt it to make it my own! :)

Before I was a Mom,

I never tripped over toys or sang lullabies every night.

I didn´t worry whether or not my sockets were protected...

I never worried so much about electrocutions!

Before I was a Mom,

I had never been puked on, pooped on, chewed on, peed on, or drooled on...

I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts and I slept at least 8 hours :)

Before I was a Mom,

I never held down a screaming child so doctors could give shots.

I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

I never got gloriously happy over a simple and yet so complete smile.

I never sat up late hours 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 the way I love you.

I never knew I would love being a mom, your 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 someone 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 just to make sure everything 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 your mom.

May you always, my beautiful princess, be overwhelmed by the Grace of God rather than by the cares of life.
