Welcome To Everyday Mom of Ellie Blog!
Hello World!
This is my very first post about my motherhood journey. I am a first time mom and this whole motherhood thing for me is hit, miss or so-so. So this is my blog about my first hand experiences of being a millennial mom in the contemporary time.
Let me first tell you about myself. I am the mother of a 3-year old bubbly, very witty, sweet little girl that I nicknamed - Ellie. I gave birth via cesarean section on the morning of April 16, 2014 after enduring 3 days of induced labor and failing to achieve a fully dilated cervix.
My partner (because we are not yet legally married but we are living together) works full time in a call center company based in General Santos City. We used to lived in Davao City when he got promoted and assigned in Gensan.
Before I went full time mother, I was an online writer for an outsourcing company in Davao City formerly called TryBPO. I resigned from my job because I gave birth and I couldn't find a full time nanny even up until now. At present, I run a legally registered, home-based wedding and events business where I plan weddings and events, design venues and flower arrangements and also do program hosting.
You might ask how I was able to manage the events business without a nanny?? Well, I make a lot of effort to find a baby sitter before an event. If there is none, then I beg my mother or my mother-in-law to take Ellie for a day or two. Thankfully, the grandmothers gladly oblige.
I think most moms would agree that being a mom in this era is a lot more easier and scarier. Easier because the information we needed is just one click away but scarier because it would be very easy for online predators to get into our computer systems.
Our lives are mostly updated and posted on social medias being the only means of connection we could ever get these days. And there will be days we will be judged by how we raise our children and there will be days, no one really cares about the mundane tasks of motherhood.
When I was childless, I was scared to death to become a mother because I knew the sacrifices to be done to be a good mother. Society will pressure you to fit in, to do this, to do that, be this, be that. It's crazy watching my married friends trying to fit into the role of motherhood. But one thing about motherhood that is very special, very endearing - the love of your kids. I saw my friends all cuddly and cozy with warm kisses and embraces from their kids. It's just - I don't really have the word for it - mushy?
I was turning 29 when I learned I was pregnant and the joy and excitement I felt could not be contained. I was happy as Christmas morning. In my mind, I really wanted a child but I was too concerned on the inevitable perils of motherhood that it overwhelmed my perception.
I started this blog to share to the world my personal views about motherhood, family and wifey life based on my own experiences and observations of the people in my circle.
I hope my blog helps a lot of young mothers like me with similar experiences about motherhood and other stuff.
