Mama didn't tell me
About the nausea and loss of appetite
The cramping or the back pain
Mama didn't tell me
About the little flutters in my belly
The sudden lack of interest of the foods I once liked
Mama didn't tell me
About the kicks and movements
Or how your head would be all in my....
Mama didn't tell me
That I would get so dog on big
How hard things would get, like to stand and sit
(oh we're not even going to talk about the bathroom)
Mama didn't tell me
About the tossing and turning
Sleeping with a pillow between my legs
(come to think of it, I had a lot of pillows)
Mama didn't tell me
About the false alarms in the middle of the night
Or about doing all of that waiting to get sent back home
(Daddy got tired of those nights)
Mama didn't tell me
About the labour pains
Or about all of the "what was I thinking" times
Mama didn't tell me
About that indescribable feeling
The moment I looked into you eyes
Mama didn't tell me
About the all night crying frenzies
That had me locked in my bathroom crying myself
Or the sleep deprivation
or the sore breast
or the over baring will to protect you
or the dirty diapers
or the throwing up
or ear infections
or the horrible colds
(we not even going to ask what happen to the sex)
But the most important of all
Mama didn't tell me
About the joy you would bring into my life
