Happy Mothers Day!... a little late

I have no picture from yesterday... we are still without a camera :( I had a great Mothers day! Kierstin colored me a picture with daddy and gave it to me Sunday Morning. Jamie was such a great guy throughout the day... cleaning for me... going and getting me things.. While I just sat around and did basically nothing :o) I like Mothers day!

I was thinking yesterday... It's hard to remember what it was like before I was a mom? (This pretty much sums it up) I know I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. Now I like to go to bed by nine on the weekends! I brushed my hair every day- now it's thrown in a pony tail almost daily. Before I was a mom... I cleaned my house more.. I never tripped over toys laying around everywhere.. even the bathroom.. or basement! Before I was a mom.. I had never been puked on.. pooped on.. spit on.. chewed on.. or even peed on! I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night. I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could 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 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 lifeso much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom as much as I do! 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. 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 Mom. I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.....

So to all the Mommys out there... Happy Mothers day! (I know it's a day late) Actually, happy Mothers day to everyone.. we all mother each other in some way.

Loads of Love!
