Every single second with my son Elijah is memorable to me. He made me realize how wonderful life is. For those who are not reading my blog, I got Elijah when I was in my second year college. I thought God was punishing me for too much night partying that I have. I didn’t know what to do then. I can’t think properly. I can’t even tell my mom that I am pregnant.

After seeing Elijah for the very first time, everything changed. I WAS WRONG. God was not punishing me. He just gave me the biggest blessing I never imagined to have.
My Baguio Centennial Boy is now 1 year and 8 months.
Elijah knows everyone in our house. He can recognize their voice, face and body built but not me. He just smile and say hi to me as if I’m a stranger to him. He can say everything but not Mama. It hurts a lot since I am the one who breastfeed him and we are together 24 hours a day. He learns very fast but he can’t say Mama. But last May 16, 2011, the boy who will conquer every milk in the world called me MAMA. I felt like crying because after how many months he knows I am not Tita Aija, Dede Man or Ayie anymore. I am now his MAMA. He calls me Mama whenever he wakes up every morning and before we sleep at night.
My most memorable moment as Elijah’s mum is when he called me Mama.
THIS IS MY OFFICIAL ENTRY TO MOMMAWANNABE’S MOTHER’S DAY GIVEAWAY.

Having a baby may be the best reward or blessing a woman could receive from God especially after all the hurt, the confusion and maybe anger towards your situation being only a college student at that time. I will be proud myself if ever time comes God will give me a bundle of Joy just like yours! Goodluck on being a mother!

i have lost a child and cannot imagine yet how happy that feels to be called a mom. but in God’s will i will become a mother someday. meanwhile, makikibaby mona ko pinsan ha? hehe. labyu elijah pogi!
It’s really wonderful and joyful to become parents and specially a mother like you. I remember my wife was really happy when our first child came. It’s tiring day for us but on the end of the day, when we cherish how our child brought us happiness, all bad feelings goes away. Just stay happy being a mom and God bless.

I think this is true motherhood. Mother forget every thing when she see her baby whatever be the case she never ever want to loose her child.
goodluck sa contest mommy pibyang! super cute tlga ni baby elijah! hope you win because you both deserve it!
I love the name Elijah… My late husband wants to name our 2nd child Elijah but since he passed away… I might not have to have a 2nd child….
This is very touching… I almost cried while reading what you have stated in here… It’s really a wonderful feeling to hear your own child calling you mama for the first time. 🙂
this so emotional.the story really bring tears to my eyes.it must have been a very momentous occasion for you whenever you heard “mama” from him.
enjoy tour motherhood
hi i became very happy when i read this one . it was really fantastic and attracts everyone too.
every mother became blissful when they have child.
have a wonderful life with ur son . ur baby will be happy every moment of life.
HAVE A SMILE………………..
you are a great mom. keep it up.. you have such a great story..
Being a mother is a blessing and a privilege. The mother is the most important person in a child’s life. A mother’s love for a child lasts forever. Only with a mother’s guidance and love can a child grow to be happy and productive citizen. The formative years in a child’s life are the most important factors that govern their attitudes and behavior that will follow them throughout their life. A good start in life is half the battle.
Its a nice article. It shows how joyful you are for your baby. Really your son is blessed with a good mom.Hope these memories stay for u very long.
always for a mother,the happiest moment she can experience(apart frm when the child is born) is when the baby 1st calls u ‘mama’.A mother only becomes complete when the baby reciprocates her love through verbal description and at that age it is ‘mama’ which is the word…I congratulate u on becoming a mother and hope u have good times ahead.
I was touched with your story as it’s the same feeling when my son called me mommy. Until now, whenever he calls me mommy, my heart feels warm. It used to be that my kid prefers to be with other people than me, so when he recognizes me as his mommy, it was one memorable moment.
Elijah stands for lessons learned and blessings best received. Mommying will definitely keep you away from too much partying. :p What’s the best thing about it is “it is very much worth it”! 🙂
Congratulation you’ve done a great job as a mother.I love all mom’s in the world..God bless you all..
Well,how wonderful article about mom and kids. I have got a son. And i remember clear every details of the things after his coming. Well, it is really a blessing from god. Though being a mom sometimes makes you very tired, especially when he or she is ill. But the pleasures preponderate over the hardwork.
Every Mom’s memorable moment is when their child first calls them “Mom”, “Mommy” or in your case, “MAMA”. It’s happy to hear about that – and, you have a blessing from above. He’s an angel. 🙂
There is No relationship that could exist with so much love forever ! This Relationship is very precious and it feels great for a mom when a child calls her mama!
Hi there, i am so touched by your story. I have been married for a year now but am not planning to have kids until 2-3 years. After hearing your sweet story, i reckon i could start thinking about having kids sometimes next year. I always think that kids come with great responsibilities but it seems i am not quite right….
Anyways, i completely admire you for taking the challenge to raise a baby. I am happy for you and your lovely baby.
God Bless both of you!
Love.

Wow, you are really lucky to have Elijah and even luckier to have realize that you are blessed by God. Congratulations and I know that you will be a great Mom!
good luck sister!
Nice Post, it seems Elijah knows the meaning of His name. Elijah = Jehovah is my God
And really God hears you.
Nice Post though
This is great to heard MAMA from your son as a ladies gets her full life after she became mother and you reached at that point.
Its really make happy to listen MAMA from son’s mouth and it is fully wrong that God punish, God never punish and giving birth to a child is a blessing to every mother
What an awesome message. This makes the great essence of being a mother. A child is really a gift from God and not all women are bestowed with such gift. A mother who cherishes every moment with his son is really to be appreciated. May you both keep a nice relationship.
hi,
i do not know how to express my words after reading yours. you are such a wonderful mother. Though your past life was gone in the parties, now u know the meaning of life than others who like to be orthodox in the life of human being. i wish that this love with your baby will continue all the time.
i can understand the true feeling of being a mom, I just get married 5 months ago and planning for a baby. Still i dont have experience but i can understand your emotions. Congratulations.
wow…… lovely……. i love the part when the baby recognize you and calls you not by your name but as “MAMA”…. that was priceless and very precious…….. coz being a mom is one of the greatest gift you’ll ever have…. 🙂
Even when busy with a whole day work, whether in office or doing only household chores, just seeing your very own baby smile and play, all worries, stress will be gone. Being a parent is such a sweet blessing. God Bless to you and Elijah!
