Mummy's Thoughts...

Praise the Lord for His wonderful gifts, blessings and His amazing grace! It has been a truly blessed year for us. Leroy brings us joy and laughter everyday. To be able to witness his every milestone gives me great satisfaction. I love the way he kisses my face and the way he calls me "Mum Mum Mee". It seems like yesterday when he was just a small baby but now he has already attained skills like talking, walking and very soon running... I love you my dear baby and may God bless u in every area of your life. Amen...

Being a Mum...

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 teeth everyday.

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

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

Before I was a Mum I had never been puked on, pooped on, spit on,chewed on, peed on, or pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Mum I had complete control over my mind,my thoughts, my body and 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 sleeping baby.

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 that I could 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 the special 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 ten minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,the wonderful fulfilment, or the satisfaction of being a Mum. I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much

Before I was a Mum.
