You enjoyed your first birthday party... Playing in the ball pond, and munching on party food, you gave everyone your normal big friendly smiles, and had lots of fun..... This was the weekend that you slept through the night... from 22h30 until 6am!!! Mommy of course was up checking that you were still breathing from 04h30!!!
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.
Before I was a Mom
I cleaned my house each day.
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 - Spit on - Chewed on, or 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 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 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.
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.
Ok.. we now are thinking we will serve steak at your first birthday party!!! Your teeth are coming through fast!! that's a total of five now.. and two more look set to appear shortly!!
You have taken to biting everything, and everyone!!!
33 weeks, another tooth, and you are growing toooo fast!! our likkle boy is almost 8 months old.. you are 9kg's and 72cm's long!! You are growling, chatting, bouncing like a champ in your bouncer, and just itching to get going!! You can now go from sitting to almost all fours.. just the one leg gets left behind, and sometimes causes you to nose dive the floor... another reason we have had to get the camper cot out to sit you in with all your toys, as leaving you on the floor padded with pillows is no longer an option!
