Before I Was a Mom…

…I didn’t know about the projectile poops. Thankfully that is an infant thing and doesn’t happen anymore. But seriously- I had no idea.

…I thought I knew what it meant to be tired, but really I had no idea.

…I had no idea that I could get so little sleep and still be alive.

…I said, “I will never co-sleep.” (Hailey is still sleeping with us at almost 2 years old)

…I didn’t realize how important it was for my surrounding neighbors to be quiet between 1 and 3pm.  And how annoying it would be when the UPS guy always rings my doorbell during nap-time.

…I never thought I would consider 7:30 am sleeping in.

…I said, “I will not ever give into whining.” HA!

…I had no idea what it was like to really be worried- you know- really worried.

…I didn’t realize how much my parents love me.  I mean I knew that my parents loved me but all of a sudden I could understand just how very much they love me.  And it’s a pretty overwhelming feeling to love someone so much.

So tell me- what’s your “Before I was a mom” statement.

    Before I was a mom, I didn’t know what was on late night television.
    I didn’t know there really was two 3 o’clocks in a 24 hour time period.
    I had never seen that special baby smile that lights up your heart directed at me.

    Before I was a mom, I never knew how many fascinating things there were in a single patch of grass at the park :-)

    I’m with Carol.
    I didn’t know that the midnight news…the one with Anderson cooper (well..where he USED to be) would replay all it’s stories over and I’d be stuck watching them because we don’t get anything else. :-)

    I didn’t know about vomit. You know — really.

    I didn’t know that I would hate bunk beds. Which goes back to the vomit thing..

    oh, it’s funny — I didn’t know how much I’d like my kids.

    Before I was a mom, I didn’t know what a frog looked like after it had been through the washer. AND dryer.

    Before I was a mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put it down. I never was up in the wee hours of the night just watching a baby while it slept. I never knew that something so small couldn’t effect my life so tremendously.
    I read that once and it is so true and before I was a mom I never realized how much I would love being a mom.

  10. Before I was a mom, I didn’t realize just how much I could accomplish in just one day. Or how much could be on my plate and still survive (tonsillectonly for one child, start new job in a new grade, tubes in ear for other child…..)

    Before I was a mom, I never knew one person could make me feel so many emotions.

    Before I was a mom:
    – I swore I’d never clean my kid’s face with my own spit.
    – I never left the house in less than full makeup and a perfectly matched outfit
    – I took showering every day for granted
    – I never knew I was such a comfortable sleeping spot :)
