轉貼文章~~Before I was a Mom
Before I was a Mom 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 Mom - 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 Mom 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 Mom 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 Mom.
Before I was a Mom - 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 Mom - 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.

在我是個媽媽之前我從未被玩具絆倒或忘記了催眠曲的詞
我從未耽心過我的植物有沒有毒
我從未想過免疫力
在我是個媽媽之前我從未被吐過
便過
嚼過
尿過
在我是個媽媽之前我能夠完全控制我的心神與意識
我睡整夜
在我是個媽媽之前我從未抓住一個尖叫不停的孩子讓醫生做測試或打針
我從未看著一雙流淚的眼睛而哭泣
我從未因為一個簡單的笑容而感到極度的快樂
我從未在深夜坐著看著嬰孩睡覺
在我是個媽媽之前我從未抱著一個睡覺的嬰孩只因為我不想放下
我從未感覺我的心破碎成千萬片當我不能停止痛苦
我從不知道一個如此的小東西可以如此巨大的影響我的生活
我從不知道我可以這麼深的愛一個人
我從不知道我會喜愛當個媽媽
在我是個媽媽之前我從不知道我的心可以在我的身體之外
我從不知道多麼特別的感覺去餵一個飢餓的嬰孩
我從不知道母親和她的孩子之間那種深刻的連接感
我從不知道很小的事也能使我感覺如此重要及快樂
在我是個媽媽之前我從未在半夜每10分鐘起床一次確定凡事OK
我從未知道當媽媽的溫暖、喜悅、愛、心傷、驚奇或滿足感
在我是個媽媽之前我從不知道我能夠有這麼多的感覺
