To all the Dunder Mothers




Before I was a Mum, I made and ate hot meals, I had unstained clothing, I had quiet conversations on the phone.
 
Before I was a Mum, 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.

Before I was a Mum, I cleaned my house each day.  I never tripped over toys or forgot words to lullabies.  

Before I was a Mum, I didn?t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.  I never thought about immunizations.  

Before I was a Mum, I had never been puked on, poohed on, spat on, chewed on, weed on or pinched by tiny fingers.
 
Before I was a Mum, I had complete control of my mind, my thoughts, my body and my mind.  I slept all night.  

Before I was a Mum, I never held down a screaming child so that 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 Mum, 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 I would love being a Mum.  

Before I was a Mum, 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.
 
Before I was a Mum, 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 wonderfulness or the satisfaction of being a Mum.

I didn?t know I was capable of feeling so much ? before I was a Mum.
