Before I met you
Before I met you My job was unfulfilled and meaningless
Before I met you I would sleep the morning away
Before I met you I had all the money I wanted for clothes and makeup
Before I met you I could eat what I wanted and never gain a pound
Before I met you I'd have hours to pamper myself and get dolled up
Before I met you I could watch a film and eat at my own pace
Before I met you I'd go out on the town and dance the night away
Before I met you I could take a long relaxing bath and soak my worries away
Before I met you I didn't have any idea where my life was going or what I wanted to be
Now I have you My job is to raise you and it the most meaningful and fulfilling thing I've ever done
Now I have you I've gotten up before the sun and had more time in the day to live than ever before
Now I have you Money and possessions aren't my priority anymore, I'd rather spend it on family and memories
Now I have you I've gained weight and can't lose it but this body made you healthy and I'm proud of it
Now I have you I'd rather spend my spare hours making you smile and teaching you about the world
Now I have you You're too funny and beautiful for me to focus on movies or food and I don't mind
Now I have you A night in dancing in the kitchen with my family is so much more fun than a cramped nightclub
Now I have you I share my bath with you, your rubber duck or your daddy and it's still lovely
Now I have you My life has meaning and a clear path. I know what I want to be- your everything

Lovely way to look back at before and after being a mum and reflect on the changes in a positive way. #mummymonday
ReplyDeleteThank you :) it's made me feel so positive about all the things that are different xx
DeleteSuch a cute post, and so so real! Before Baby Boy things were good, now they're better than better and I couldn't be happier! :)

I agree with you completely. I wouldn't even change the sleepless nights from when she was first born- I may have been tired but I loved watching her eating and slowly falling asleep and it's much better than when I used to sleep for hours of the day :) xx
DeleteVery sweet and very true! :) #mummymonday
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so glad so many people feel how I feel xx

DeleteWhat a lovely post - I can relate so much as I'm sure every mum can. Being a mum really does give your life purpose and fills a big hole in your life that you never even realised was there. #MaternityMondays
ReplyDeleteFilling a hole is such a good way of putting it- I didn't even know I needed another piece but now she is here I finally feel as though I'm whole and my family is my life xx
