Before I was a MOM

Was tagged by Mummy Cendrine.

To allow the list goes on, copy the paragraph and continue from there.

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 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 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.

Before I was a Mom
I never knew the magic of multi-tasking.
I never experienced the wonders of joy seeing her grow, change and develop.
I never understood the unconditional love which motherhood brings.
I never felt a need to finish the leftover food.
I never considered the motivation to embrace and appreciatethe time spent as days pass by.

Before I was a Mom
I have super memory.
I sleep like nobody's biz.
I talk about fashion trend, travel plans and beauty tips.
I never expect myself to clear urine and shit everyday and still be happy.
I could never imagine the amount of effort, time, love, attention, sacrifices and money needed to care for a child.
I never know I could accomplished so much :)
