Hello,
I am a stay at home mom to 4 wonderful children. i would not trade the time i get to spend with them for anything. The kids are growing up so fast it is unreal. My oldest is in second grade this year, my little me...lol..(she looks just like me) is in kindergarten, and then my baby girl was 4 in November, and my baby boy was 3 in December...He is the reason for joining this site.He is in the process of being evaluated for Autism.So far all they will tell me is that he has developmental delays, Gross motor delays, mixed receptive/expressive language disorder, sensory issues,low muscle tone...and then they say.."Early signs of Aspergers" or "Possible PDD-NOS" , we take him back again this month..i am hoping to hear something other than bring him back in 3 months..:) and his regular ped, said he thinks hi is on the higher end of the spectrum. and his speech therapist said she thinks he might have apraxia...so there you have it.....my introduction....:)...i am hoping to make some friends who understand without a word....:)

Before I was a Mom…
I made and ate hot meals.
I had unstained clothing.
I had quiet conversations on the phone.
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 every day.
Before I was a Mom…
I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or forgot words
to lullabies.
Before I was a Mom…
I didn't worry whether or not my plants
were poisonous.
I never thought about immunisations.
Before I was Mom…
I had never been puked on,
Pooped on,
Spat on,
Chewed on,
Peed on,
Or pinched by tiny fingers.
Before I was a Mom…
I had complete control of my mind,
My thoughts.
My body,
And my time.
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 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 risen 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!
