Before I was a mom I never knew....

Before I was a mom I never knew...

I never knew that when girls grab my face to kiss it that it would mean the world to me.. and how much I will miss that when they don't do it anymore.

I never knew how strong I really was. (this is the big one)

I never knew how well I could function on no sleep.

I never knew much I would give up for such a little person.

I never knew how much a smile would brighten up my day.

I never knew how much I could kiss someone, I seriously can't stop kissing there cheeks.

I never knew what it felt like to have your heart walk around outside of your body.

I never knew that on my bad days when nothing seems to help all my girls have to do is smile and I feel 100% better.

 

I never knew how much energy I had.

I never knew that deep inside this strong independant, hardworking person who was all career and no fun was a woman who would get down on her hands and knees and crawl around making animal noises to here a beautiful giggle, and then laugh out loud at the sound.

I never knew how much my heart could hurt seeing a bundle of joy in the NICU and knowing I might never get to hold her ( she is doing great btw and is mommy's precious angel)

Most of all I guess i never knew that I could be a mommy.
