Before I was a Mum 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 Mum - 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 Mum 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 Mum I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want
to put it 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 Mum.

Before I was a Mum - 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 Mum - 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 Mum.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mum.

And before I was a Grandma, I didn't know that all those "Mum" feelings
more than doubled when you see that little bundle being held by "your
baby".

Now don't this make you feel all warm and fuzzy. Ain't it the truth.

Never did I know you've ever been a mum, Vince..
Must be a miracle of science...

Real nice words for mums though

I can relate to these words deeply.

thanks mummy vince.

Ok, fair enough. I reckon if I was a Mum Bill Gates would be #2 on the list of millionaires.

I meant to add that most, if not all, of these can also apply to us Dads.

Cheers, Vince
