Story Sunday – Before I became a Mom

I just have been send this story by my cousin Mandy and I reading it made me tear up… once again… I know. Lol. If you’re a mom (especially a new mom) please have tissues ready! Here is the story for Story Sunday!

 

Before I became a Mom,

I never tripped over toys or forgot the text of a good-night-song.

I didn’t worry if my plants are toxic or not and I never wondered about immunization.

 

Before I became a Mom,

nobody ever puked on me,

pooped on me,

chewed on me,

peed on me.

I wasn’t all nuts and I slept through every night.

 

Before I became a Mom,

I never had to hold a child tightly, so that doctors can evaluate it.

Or give him an injection.

I never looked into tear covered eyes and started to tear up myself.

I was never over excited and happy about a simple smile or grin.

I never sat awake late at night, just to watch a baby sleep.

 

Before I became a Mom,

I never held a baby in my arms and not wanting to lay it down in her bed.

I never knew the feeling, that breaks my heart into a thousand pieces, when I can’t stop the pain.

I never knew, that something so little can influence my life big time.

I never knew, that I could ever love someone that much.

I never knew, that I would love to be a mom.

 

Before I became a Mom, I didn’t know how it feels, when my heart jumps outside my body.

I didn’t know how great it feels to feed a hungry baby.

I didn’t know the bond between a mother and her child.

I didn’t know that I can feel so important, needed and happy, because of such a tiny thing.

 

Before I became a mom, I never got up at night every 10 minutes, just to check if everything is okay.

I didn’t know the warmth, the happiness, the love, the heartache, the astonishment and the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I never knew, that I’m capable to  feel so much, before I became a Mom.

… Send this to somebody, that you think is a great mom.
… And remember: Behind every successful mom stands…

 

…a hamper full of dirty laundry!!! ;)

    yeah… honestly… I’d be glad too… I can’t wait for the time when she is awake more and we can do more with her and show her all kinds of stuff and let her taste all kinds of food and so on… :)
