I had unstained clothing.
I had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a mom...I slept as late as I wanted.
And never worried about how late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a mom...I had never been
pooped on,
spat on,
chewed on,
peed on,
or pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a mom...I had complete control of my mind,
my thoughts,
my body,
and my time.
I slept through the night.

Before I was a mom...I never held down a screaming child,
so that the 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 had never known the warmth,

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL SARA...LIKE YOU!
What a beautiful post...I love it. Way to early in the morning for tears.
Happy Mother's Day, pretty lady!!
I know EXACTLY how you feel about being a mom. Except you left out the part about bursting with pride when you child graduates from high school, college, gets her credential and then her master's degree, gets married, and the ultimate gift - becoming a nana. Happy Mother's Day!
Well done, so inspiring! By the way, my friend Emily posted more pictures from the quiet book she made on her blog.
happy mother's day!
You are so beautiful!!
Is that Paris?!?
Love it Sara - I hope this makes it in your book someday:)
