Instagram With Me

  • Landen Sky is officially 1 month! 🥳⠀ ⠀ As you may be able to tell in this photo - he’s a wiggly one. I’m convinced he’ll be an early crawler. He’s also very expressive in his facial features and in the volume of his cries. He goes from 0 to 100 real quick. And is not afraid to let you know that he isn’t happy with your performance 😅😅 But when he’s well-fed and well-rested there’s an undeniably sweet side to him that makes up for the 3AM meltdowns 🥰⠀ ⠀ Overall, 1 month with 2 littles has been a lot.⠀ ⠀ Sleep is still nonexistent. 🧟‍♀️ - legit what I look like during the day. ⠀ ⠀ Attempting to develop some sort of a routine at this point has been laughable.⠀ 🤣🤣🤣 ⠀ ⠀ There have been several times where they’re both screaming/crying at me and all I want to do is lay on the floor and let them figure their ish out on their own 😐 #boybye⠀ ⠀ And then there are moments when they’re both cuddling me on the couch and I think ‘this is the life’ 🥰⠀ ⠀ I’ll be doing a full 1-month postpartum update for you guys soon, possibly in video form. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting back into video - but who knows! That could be my sleep deprived brain telling me it’s a good idea when it’s not. 😂😂 Stay tuned to find out! 😄👍🏾
  • What these past few weeks have been made of:⠀ ⠀ 1. Sleepy newborn baby snuggles⠀ 2. Late nights and early mornings⠀ 3. A toddler attached at my hip⠀ 4. Messy floors, mirrors, beds, everything⠀ 5. Pajamas all day and tired mama eyes⠀ ⠀ In short, very full hands but also a very full heart ❤️
  • The dynamic duo 🥰🥰 Mason has really taken to his little brother. He’s always trying to cuddle him, which - due to his toddler ways - often borders on strangulation 😬😅 ⠀ ⠀ He also enjoys imitating Landen’s cries with a high pitched squeal of his own. 😒🤦🏾‍♀️ ⠀ ⠀ Needless to say our home has become very loud and busy, but most importantly - full of lots and lots of love ❤️❤️❤️ #MasonFox #LandenSky
  • I’ve taken an Instagram hiatus over the past 2 weeks as I’ve adjusted to life with 2 littles 😅🙈 But wanted to pop on and give some proper birthday love to my other half - Mr. Coleman-Turner. ⠀ ⠀ I wouldn’t be where I am today with you, you’re the best dad these two little boys could ask for, and I can’t wait to see what year 35 brings for you. Happy Birthday Boo Radley 😘😘😘⠀ ⠀ Will be back posting regularly this coming week! 🙌🏾
  • Happy to officially announce that we *finally* welcomed our new addition!⠀ ⠀ Landen Sky Coleman-Turner graced us with his presence early morning on Friday 14 June weighing in just under 8.5lbs 😳🙈.⠀ ⠀ I was lucky to be able to use a birthing pool for his delivery, which made the experience that much more surreal. And amazingly in less than 24hrs we were home!⠀ ⠀ I have to give a HUGE thank you to the midwives at Chelsea & Westminster Birth centre for their guidance and assistance through the whole process. It was a really positive experience that I’ll always remember.⠀ ⠀ I also want to shout out to our friends Reina & Alexei (@rainrainbe86 ) for taking Mason in and treating him to the best day so we could focus on bringing Landen into the world. It made us that much more relaxed knowing he was being good and enjoying his time with you guys!⠀ ⠀ We’ve been spending the weekend getting to know our little man and figuring out life with a toddler and newborn 😳 it’s a lot, but I’m happy to be moving forward into this next chapter.⠀ ⠀ I’m not pregnant anymore guys! 🙌🏾😅
  • Well you guys - we’ve officially reached the week I’m due and despite all my talk about this little man coming early he’s still straight up chilling in my belly 🤷🏾‍♀️⠀ ⠀ I’ve been experiencing a lot of - what ultimately have been false labor pains over the past couple weeks, which have been incredibly frustrating. To the point where I’ve all but given up trying to determine whether I’m going into labor or not.⠀ ⠀ When they say every pregnancy is different, even within the same body, it is so so so true!⠀ ⠀ Being stuck in what feels like a perpetual state of limbo is driving me mad. I know what needs to happen and I’m ready to just get this show on the road.⠀ ⠀ I’m ready to move on to the next chapter of our lives as a family of four 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦⠀ ⠀ We’ll see how this next week goes. Cross your fingers folks 🤞🏾🤞🏾
