I’m a Mom to a 15-Year-old!

Birthday candles

So I’m officially a mom of a 15-year old. Well technically it won’t be until 10:17 pm.

How did that happen? It was just yesterday that I was holding him in my arms at the young age of 21.

I was a young mom but I definitely had the motherly instincts when it came to caring for my baby. Maybe it’s because I’ve always loved kids.

I remember vividly when I was in third grade, I mentioned to my teacher that I wanted to have my first baby at 21 and I wanted a boy because my family was filled with females.  She said yes Lisa that is very nice but you must go to college first then you can start a family.

And I did just that.

But who would’ve thought that my “dream” would actually come true?

Motherhood hasn’t been the easiest thing to handle. I can tell you plenty of stories where I have failed. I guess all parents do at one point or another.

I can honestly say that I have not been the greatest mother but at least I try. I have said many things that I am not too fond of but in reality I’m glad that my son knows his mother loves him dearly.

We even had the same pajamas!

He’s my first-born, my only son. He was and still is his father’s baby boy too.

With his mustache and very hairy legs (lol!), he’s no longer a baby but he will always be “my” baby.

Happy birthday son. May all your hopes and dreams come true!  Mama loves you!

  3. Happy Birthday to your son! Wow, time passes by so quickly. I remember when he was just a boy. You have two men in the house now. 🙂

    Looking at that picture you haven’t changed much! It reminds me of the first picture I took with my daughter, we were about to leave the hospital. I was about to turn 21 when I had my first. I look at her now and I feel so old, lol.

  14. Happy belated birthday to your son! I don’t think 21 is that young to have kids (although you look like you’re 12 in that photo!). I was already married and owned a house by the time I was 21. Kids came a couple of years later 😉

  16. Hi Lisa. Happy Birthday to you both!!! I used to think that I wanted to get married, and maybe have children at 30… but life decided otherwise and when I turned 21 I had two beautiful babies. Now, Eduardo is 31, and Morena is 30… and yes, they will be my babies forever.

  17. Aww! Happy Birthday to your big boy! You are a great mom!
