One Lucky Mommy

"Of all the things both great and small a mother's love is best of all."

Some things that would make tomorrow a great Mother's Day:

Not being woke up by 5:30am

A shower

No diaper changing

No whining or saying "no"

10 minutes to pluck my eyebrows

Not having to do dishes

.

.

.

In all seriousness I don't care about any of those things. I am just so blessed that I have these two little faces to call me mommy! (Or mum-mum, mama, mom...)

There are so many people out there that would do anything to have a baby to hold. I try to remember this every day and know how truly lucky I am to have 2 beautiful, healthy children! After having kids I can barely remember life before them and I can't even imagine life without them.

HOW

LUCKY

AM

I?

Pretty darn lucky.

And so so so blessed!

And tomorrow....I don't care if I get a shower or my eyebrows plucked or have to change every diaper and clean every dish. I just want to make sure that I gets LOTS of hugs and kisses from my babies!

My mom once told me that I would never know how much she loved me until I had children of my own.

Well Mom,

I DO know how much you love me!

And it's pretty amazing.

Thank you.

I love you!

Happy Mother's Day!

Before I Was a Mommy

Before I was a Mommy,

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.

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.

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.

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 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 Mommy.

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.

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 Mommy.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,

before I was a Mommy.
