...but DH and I have 4. I like this:

(Or, as my 3yo granddtr would say, "I Yike this!)

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 her 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

Best mother's day ever..year my son turned 21 he took me aside to tell me he appreciated the sacrifices I'd made as a single mother and just to thank me for everything.
Hope all you mother's out there hear as sweet thanks as I received. Lynn "ONE MOMENT CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING"

Thanks and a Happy Mother's Day to all our Mom's on the board.

It's the best job I've ever had and the most rewarding. My children are grown, but my love for them is forever growing. I'm blessed to have 2 great kid's and a pretty terrific son in law, too.
