I found this poem on my friends blog and loved it! I'm never as good with words as I'd like to be, so I love when I find things that express the way I feel.
Thank you mom for raising me and teaching me the way you did! I will always look up to you, even though I'm 4 in. taller!
Thank you Hamma, for raising a wonderful man who has blessed my life in so many ways!
I hope someday to possess the traits that I admire in each of you, and my wonderful grandmothers!
Thank you Heavenly Father for the great privilege of raising two of your precious angels here on this earth! I am so grateful to be a mother!
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 him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt!
I never knew 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 the 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 ten 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.

Thanks for sharing....I am so excited for your family and your new home! I can't wait to see pictures of your vacation and new home!!! It is so weird to think you don't live next door anymore...we will miss you!!!!
What a great poem! Thanks for that. I can't believe your gone, it really wont set in until I go back to church and I will no longer see your bright, smiling face! I will miss you, but we will definately have to have some play dates. I am really excited for you and hope all goes well with you getting into your new home! My sister just sold her house as well and will be moving up in that direction. Glad to hear you had fun on your vacation, you definately needed it. I'm also very glad to hear that Lucy is healing up nicely.
Happy Mother's Day to you too, Camille! Thanks also for the plumbing tips - I have suspected as much, and really hoped to hear from others to confirm and help me not be so scared of other possibiltiies (ha ha) Thanks.
I hope you had a great Mother's Day. I hope you enjoy your new place, and life continues to treat you guys well. At least we can keep in contact through blogging, right!?
Hope you had a great Mothers day! I can't believe Alex is going to be 1! Happy early Birthday big guy! One year Birthdays are so BIG here in the heart world! Hope you have a GREAT DAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Love, Love that poem. Thanks for posting it. I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
So today with it being Alex's 1st Birthday I posted on the forum
"It's hard to believe that a year has passed since your birth. Here is hoping that you have a very fun and exciting 1st Birthday, as I am sure it will be a wonderful celebration with your family surrounding you.
Alex your smile is so cute and here is wishing that your next year is full of good health"
I think back to when you were expecting Alex and it seems like it was just yesterday. I am glad that he is doing so well. What a blessing.
