The what IF'S...

If I had never became a mother...


I wouldn't have to wonder "Is that chocolate or is that poop?"



If I had never became a mother...

I would never have to use the bathroom or shower with the door open



If I had never became a mother...

I wouldn't step on legos with every step, causing me to scream out in pain



If I had never became a mother...

I wouldn't have gained this spare tire that I carry around the space where my tummy used to be.



If I had never became a mother...

I wouldn't have to buy Handi Snacks and Goldfish crackers by the grouse



If I had never became a mother...

I wouldn't have had the pleasure of pulling the back on someones pants open to see if they pooped.



If I had never became a mother...

I wouldn't have to buy an entire new wardrobe for them while I, myself, make do with one good pair of jeans and one cardigan.



If I had never became a mother...

I wouldn't have sat up until the wee hours of the morning lulling a crying baby to sleep when all I wanted to do was cry myself.



If I had never became a mother...

I would never have eaten so many cold meals in my life.



***************



If I had never became a mother...

I wouldn't get to see young minds grow and discover the beauty of the earth



If I had never became a mother...

I wouldn't have two sweet little warm bodies who find no greater joy than crawling into bed with their Mama for a good morning snuggle.



If I had never became a mother...

I would never had had the chance to nourish another human being with my own



If I had never became a mother...

I would never know how proud I could feel when someone does something that seems so small.



If I had never became a mother...

I never would have had another beating heart lay so close to my very own, literally.
