Poetry about motherhood for a baby shower

[*Efjay*]

I wrote this about 8 years ago..


Enjoy these last few weeks as a mother to be.
Relax by the TV sipping cups of camomile tea.

Take a deep bath and watch your precious bump
kick and roll,as sleepless nights will soon take their toll.

As the big day draws near cuddle up with a good book and read.
As all the rest you can get will soon become a big need.

When nesting sets in, cook dinners to freeze
because believe me you won't get time when two becomes three.

Pack your bag now and have it by the door ready to go.
For when that baby is ready to come you can just grab it and go!

Apologise now for things you might say.
As pain can take over on the big day.

Remember to breathe and get a back rub.
When the pain gets too bad, ask for the spa
it works wonders, to relax in the tub.

When the hard work is done and your special bump is gone
In your arms will be an angel A new daughter or son.

Enjoy these last few weeks as a mother to be.
Relax by the TV sipping cups of camomile tea.

Thanks for the suggestion Sarah. I have really found Motherhood to be such a journey I wanted to find something that explained that it wasn't a destination but the journey with highs and lows but put in a positive way as she is over hearing all the negative stuff.

Efjay that is a great piece too. Thanks for sharing.
