Found this and it bought a tear to my eye. Hope you enjoy it too.
Before I was a Mum I made and ate hot meals.
I had unstained clothing, I had quiet conversations on the phone.
Before I was a Mum I slept as late as I wanted
And never worried about how late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and teeth everyday.
Before I was a Mum I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or forgot the words to lullabies.
Before I was a Mum I didn?t worry whether or not plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunisations.
Before I was a Mum I had never been puked on, pooped on, spit on,
chewed on, peed on, or pinched by tiny fingers.
Before I was a Mum I had complete control over my mind,
my thoughts, my body and I slept all night.
Before I was a Mum I never held down a screaming child
so that 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 sleeping baby.
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 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 the special bond between a Mother and her child.
I didn?t know that something so small could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Mum 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 wonderful fulfillment, or the satisfaction of being a Mum.
I didn?t know I was capable of feeling so much
Before I was a Mum.
