[@KristenxLeanne]

Being a mom is the hardest thing I've ever done and multiple times a day I'm wondering WTF I'm doing, but it is the most rewarding thing watching your children grow and enjoy life and watching them develop and knowing you have a huge hand in what that will look like for them. It is OK to set your baby down somewhere safe as long as they are safe and have a full belly, to go take care of yourself and your mental health. Babies cry, you have to get used to that. Especially with two!! There's more of that than with your first, you can't always jump up to grab baby as soon as you could before, when there was just one. YOU'RE DOING GREAT

[@rachelsebree8524]

No shit!! I totally understand

[@therockgirl15]

❤

[@emelysan1645]

I'm so proud of you for your honesty and vulnerability ❤❤❤ we are here for you sweetheart 😊

[@brenna.husnik]

YOU’RE NAILING MOTHERHOOD!!!! Go Mama!

[@SpunkyStuff]

Well said. Your doing great! Such great advice for no matter what season of parenthood you are in. When Mama is overstimulted time for a rest for your mental health.

[@statesvillesfinest]

This hit so hard. I remember being neck deep in the newborn life and being so overwhelmed as a FTM. You are doing great! No harm in letting the babies cry for a moment to collect yourself. Cry, scream, eat something, as long as they are in a safe space do what you need. ❤ I wanted to crawl through the screen and give you a hug and help.

[@KristenxLeanne]

awe thank youuu. I appreciate your kind words. I agree with that, all moms need to hear that!

[@aprilhampton6298]

Amen!! I wanted so bad to help out.

[@AliviaYork]

I had to stop the video when you were crying to write this…you are not alone either, this is motherhood. There will be moments like this, maybe even a lot of them but don’t forget about you. Crying will not hurt them. Let the babies cry and you go eat or take a breather, take care of you so you can do your best for them. Also Harlows’s “normal” has also changed, she’s just trying to adjust as well 😌 you’re doing great!

[@KristenxLeanne]

THank you for everythign you said. I appreciate that

[@reptilefae]

Youre doing so great Kristen. I love that you kept that raw moment in. Every single mama has them. Its MORE than okay to let them cry for a minute so you can take one minute to decompress/recenter. Youre a great mama.

[@KristenxLeanne]

Thank you for the kind words

[@samanthageorge3771]

Exactly we’ve all been there ❤

[@gretahunt4401]

You’re doing so well! You even cleaned the house and did the laundry, are you kidding me??! This the reality of mom life and you’re honestly slaying it! ❤

[@pmg-1]

Yeah..she definitely rocked it by herself...there was absolutely no way I'm getting all that done alone with a newborn & toddler. The dishes & laundry can wait..lol

[@alyssahamlett]

I love that you show the raw moments! Its so real and relatable

[@shoppingaddixx]

When they were crying and you were struggling I just wanted to give you the biggest hug

[@gothicbubbles]

Needing to eat when you have a crying baby needing all of you is such a trigger for me. I totally feel that. Sending hugs!

[@morganjane]

Oh how sweet of Piper to come up & try to comfort you when you were crying. Idk why that immediately brought tears to my eyes. How freaking sweet. Hoping for better days for you. 🖤

[@KristenxLeanne]

SHe's such a sweet dog 😍

[@paigesofmakeup8573]

Thank you for showing the good and the bad. It really puts motherhood into perspective. Even at 13 months, my daughter still manages to make me cry from frustration. That doesn’t mean I love her any less. You’re doing great momma.

[@x50ShadesofSlayx]

This video hit SO hard. I am a first responder's wife also and mom of 3. I use to want six children because I love my children so much, but I didn't think about the first responder wife life when I wanted six. So.... I maxxed out my abilities at 2 kids and then a third surprise came. She is now almost 14 months. Anyway, came to say that I am glad you showed the realness and left in the bit with the crying. I am on antidepressants and actually have a hard time crying right now and that still brought tears to my eyes as I could very much relate. I got the same advice from my pediatrician to just set the baby in a safe space after basic needs are taken care of and just go outside for a little for yourself and I have still struggled with it. Thanks for the great content. You are doing GREAT! ❤

[@KristenxLeanne]

Man, sounds familiar. I wanted like 4-5 and now I'm like dude I duno if I can even do TWO lol. It is hard hard work! You are crushing it i'm sure. Our pediatrician has six kids and is super old school and told us the same thing. He's awesome Thank you so much

[@jenniferstepps]

This sweet video has me bawling my eyes out ( in a good way, sorta). I’m home isolated with that effing virus and sick AF and can’t see my sweet grands. So thank you KL for sharing your sweet babies with us. I went from crying because I’m still feverish and in so much pain, to having a boost of serotonin seeing W and H. Yes avocado on anything is good! Wish we could grow them here in North Carolina but nooooooo lol.

[@april_eacape77]

Being a mom is so damn hard. Take care of yourself. You’re Amazing!!!!❤

[@chikpwr]

Watching you have a big cry just made me want to be there to help you. The alone ness feeling is real when your stuck home with little ones. I have a 1,2 & 3 year old all 14 months apart and the struggle is real. We just try to make it to the end of every day it before you know it that day is over and a year has passed. The days are long and the years are fast is the truest quote I’ve ever heard

[@stephanyrosales8892]

I am so sorry Harlow is going through a little regression. My heart breaks for you, I have been there but with zero help ever. Mama, when it gets like that, please walk outside for a few minutes and breathe. I am sending you all the positive vibes your way

[@aprilhampton6298]

Bless your heart. It is ok to be overwhelmed. I raised 2 and then when they were moving out I got 4 under 3. It was rough for me and i had already done this. You've got this, you're a fantastic momma.

[@ashleyramirez6939]

Love your raw, in the trenches, lost in screaming, moment. It’s ok to breakdown, it’s real. Lifting you up in prayer!

[@KristenxLeanne]

Thank you so much girl ❤️💕🫶🏼 I appreciate you and your prayers. God and grandma are the only ways I can do this haha

[@ashleyramirez6939]

1,000% agree with you on that one!

[@M1C4]

Watching you have that very real moment made me cry cause I know how you felt... I appreciated it and you. It's so hard ❤

[@ginacousino5712]

Kristen, I promise it gets easier. Be patient and know that these are moments that won’t last forever. Pray for peace amidst the storms. One day you will miss the toddler and newborn phase. It’s always worth it despite how rough it can get.

[@chantalsglamourparlour6976]

In the depths of this with you with my 2 similar age to yours and it’s hard work so glad you kept some really real moments in your vlog I cry from overwhelm myself it’s so consuming a d putting everyone above yourself takes toll! Your doing amazing and love your real and honest content ! Definitely makes Mummas feel less alone! 🤍

[@alikern9137]

Love how real you are Kristen

[@mrsm24]

Kristen, I feel ya Mama.. I was a mum of twin girls, their father was useless and his family … bothe girls screaming at the same time when he was at work and at football training was horrible. You’re doing great Mama!! Much love from Australia ❤

[@Horror_Vxn]

Seeing you cry brought me right back to being a first time mom to a newborn while having an unsupportive baby daddy. I was completely overwhelmed 24/7 and ended up having PPD and PPA. I cried right along with you 😢🫶🏻 but we are strong, resilient and above all capable. Thank you for showing the nitty gritty of being a SAHM FTM! 🩷

[@motherhoodinprogress]

Oh man, that was hard to watch, not because you did anything wrong or anything like that but because it's so familiar and relatable and it brought up so many memories for me. I can't even tell you how many times I cried and how many times I had to just walk away and compose myself during the first year of my twin's lives (they're 2 now!) when it seemed like nothing I could do would make them calm down and stop crying. It's so, so hard. You are doing amazing. You're a wonderful mother and you love your kids so much and that's obvious to see.

[@MchllBjnc87]

I felt this on so many levels,I cried a couple of times,too just a couple of weeks ago. Just because I didn't know what to do even though I was doing everything possible.You're doing amazing! Had to remind myself of that too ❤

[@EverythingOnIce22]

This hit so hard ❤️ thank you for bringing light to the hardest part of mom life. I had to walk through that and then had to help my own partner through their depression after our child was born.

[@Foxiki_]

I just love you. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I always look forward to the next video. Stay badass, Kristen ❤️‍🔥🫶🏼

[@erikkamanuel1099]

Crying while you’re crying rn. Just had a night like this. My almost 6 year old needing me, 2 month old screaming and husband away and work. He’s gone for a week at a time and is home for maybe 2 days then back out. You are a strong woman and it’s okay to feel the way you do. We all need to just take a step away and breathe for a second and i know it’s hard hearing your babies crying and just wanting to be the one to soothe them and make them happy. Just know you’re doing amazing !! Your kids are fed, happy , healthy and loved! ❤❤

[@emeraldangelle]

girl !! it all works out in the end !!! you did HELLA stuff around the house, with a newborn AND a toddler, you look great, and you absolutely did it !! at least you dont have to worry about taking kids to SCHOOL😅, having to be ready and making sure you're out of the house on time 13 years ago when I had my son, I had him on the weekend, was discharged sunday afternoon, and my daughter started PRESCHOOL that monday. Do you think their dad took time off to help out? HELL NO we are not together anymore😂 trust me it was BRUTAL that Monday !!! I am now pregnant with my 3rd, starting all over again! my due date is 10/ 19 !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@twinklestar1311]

You are doing amazing. Proud of you for making sure you are eating & taking care of yourself as well!

[@KristenxLeanne]

Thank you!

[@simsydawn]

I’m not a Mama unfortunately, but I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you showing the real sides of being a mom. You’re doing amazing and sometimes you just need to lose your shit, reset, and start again. Sending you so much love and all the good energy you need!

[@2trickyvicky]

I seen someone set up 9 press on lights on a wall and their young one loved it. Played for ages x

[@kaylamckibbin2014]

Girl, you're an amazing mom. I have 3 under 5, my boys are 18 months apart, so this vlog hit home. You're doing great, I know it's a difficult time, so much love and so much choas. Thank you for leaving in that hard moment you had, literally brought me to tears because I've been there and it can feel so lonely, especially with your spouse at work a lot. You're not alone! I hope you're doing well postpartum. Love you!! ❤️

[@KristenxLeanne]

Thank you so much

[@kaylamckibbin2014]

@KristenxLeanne I definitely have experience 🤣 if you need any tips lmk! As far as the 6 week apt, as long as you're feeling healthy and no stitches need removed, I'd say you're good lol!

[@hotmessmombie83]

O girl so felt this in my soul. Been there and was there once again with two under two a few months ago. Sending you hugs, love and prayers. We get it. We so do

[@KristenxLeanne]

Thank youuuu

[@vany1614]

I’ve had many crying sessions as a mother of 3, having babies back to back is not fun and it’s hard. Also Everyone assumes that being a stay at home mom is so easy but it is so damn hard and can be so mentally draining. Thank you for putting such raw footage to normalize that crying it out is ok.

[@BRELUVSYEW1]

Thank u for show what it is like for a first responders family it is extremely hard but the long nights and days are worth it our oldest is 2 and youngest is 3 months we are just now getting into some what a routine and it’s getting better ❤

[@jeffsterling9771]

Motherhood is not always sunshine and flowers. Remember the good times in the “bad”

Omg Kristen ! I just want to hug you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ You got this you strong strong woman !! We’re all rooting for you! ❤️❤️

[@originalcaligirl7466]

Girl ur doing great 👍 👏 u got some lucky babies. I’m glad u showed that part when u started crying. I member having those moments when my daughter was lil like that I had to walk away and just cry it out. It’s hella hard. Hardest thing ever is raising kids. But ur so good at it. ❤❤

[@lisamurawske4168]

Kristen..I just want to hug you right now! ❤ You've got this Mama..you're right..sometimes you just have to step away for a moment! Saying a prayer to give you strength and patience!

[@oliviacady5856]

Your definitely in your mom era ❤️

[@amandafreebrey9192]

You’re doing great!! Solo parenting is hard, you’ll find you stride, this phase will pass, but know your seen and heard x I watched this and thought how did I manage? But I did and repeated it 4 times x make sure you get some rest xxx

[@Kimberlywebster433]

You’re doing amazing, and Wyatt’ hands when he was in the baby carrier he look like a baby otter🥹🥰

[@JulieNick28]

yes mammas, if you need a break take it. It’s been 22 years for me but I still remember those days/times. Hugs to you 🤗. You have a lot on your plate right now.

[@janemillen5114]

My husband worked away from home during the week and I had a 5 year gap between my children .. but the feeling of no sleep and as soon as you ever got a meal something went down.. we all feel for you… just like as soon as baby was ready to leave the house they did a poo or were sick all over themselves… 😂 … You are not alone … take a breath… walk away … jump up and down a few times… shake it out… then return to the scene of the crime 😜😂🤗👍🥰

[@kachy-tg1ky]

I Hundred percent relate... it will get better, Mama... today I'm 16 months old, went into peddles our dog food yes she ate some.. I cleaned up the mess. But somehow, she kept finding them, so she that what ate early in the morning. I work 3rd shift. Sleep 3 hours a day. Tomorrow or today, it's another day ❤❤❤❤..

[@remrem5399]

You’re doing great mama. You’re showing the realness of being a mother/father and the hard times. I know there’s probably a lot of parents watching this crying with you.

[@KristenxLeanne]

[@jenniferstepps]

Fun trick for when they grow out of the Boppy Pillow. I have 2 and I use them in bed. It helps with my back pain and migraine headaches. I keep one in my filming chair too. Lol. I would think they would help with roids too.

[@amandalynnnnn]

You’re doing great mama 🤍

[@Kvikurten]

Thank you for an honest look into your life ❤

[@tRipPinRolLz]

Thank you for sharing. I’ll be in the same boat in January. My daughter will be just over 2 with a newborn and my husband is also a firefighter/medic. Gone for 24-48hours at a time. No helpful family nearby. It’s already tough, and I’m internally freaking out about what my life will be like in a few months. I already have mental breakdowns on the regular with just the toddler because she’s already exhibiting the terrible two behaviors, no napping, whining, not listening. It’s so tough. If you figure out any tips please let us other first responder wives know! 😂 Good luck mamma! 💪

[@KristenxLeanne]

Oh man. We’re the same. Lol Harlow was doing the same terrible two behaviors before he came. It’s gonna be hard on you both for the first year of overlap I’ve been told by other moms. Then it gets a lot easier. ❤️❤️❤️

[@kayolaCrayon]

This is such an amazing video to watch as a new mum. I have had those moments where you just cry with your baby and everything is just impossible in that moment. Thank you so much for keeping that section of the video in, it is very vulnerable for you but this could help so many new mummas out there who are going through the same thing! You are an amazing mother and keep doing what you are doing ❤

[@jennygirlnails]

You poor thing. I’ve been there. You are doing amazing ❤

[@cataliciouz]

Awe i really loved this video and thought even the beginning was beautiful w the music. Wyatt looks so much like you ❤! Hang in there mama, you're doing great. Maybe Harlow is teething? Theres this paci by Munchkin where u can put cold or frozen fruit in it, great for them munch on for teething. Munchkin fresh food feeder. ❤

[@alexapo1002]

You did so great!!! We used to put our son on a pillow on his tummy and he felt so confortable. The pillow was bumpy tho 😅 but it doesn't matter. It was calming him down so..

[@alexapo1002]

Comfortable*

[@sarawarner2673]

Oh my gosh I want to hug you so hard!!💗

[@xannellenortje1882]

I just want to put it out there. You said what others mom shame about. And you are so right sometimes you need to reset. And you doing it alone a lot of the times. I am proud of you. ❤ thank you for saying what every mommy needs to hear. And thank you for showing you vulnerability it’s so real. ❤

[@Lunaaaa_Bellaaaa]

Awwww I wish I was living near you so I could offer to come and help! Your so brave, mums are the most strongest humans! You got this babes! ❤You are doing so well x

[@victoriavieira815]

I love how you’re so real and raw. I still cry 9 months later felling overwhelmed. My baby had colic so she grew very attached and with her sister being a year and 2 months apart it was and is very difficult. You got this!! 🫶🏼

You are such a Great Mom. I'm sorry you had such a ruff day. Thank you for sharing. sending love, smiles and Prayers

[@krissyconde7319]

My son did the same thing when my daughter was born, it was so hard for him to take naps and go to bed at night.. at the time my husband was in the military and gone for weeks on end I was done ! Hang in there it gets easier with two then you’ll blink and they are teens

[@KristenxLeanne]

Oh man that's so hard. I can't imagine nick being gone for weeks on end. How difficult!!!

[@kpik23]

I'm so glad you are showing the realities of being a parent. I want kids and I can get overwhelmed with anxiety. It will be good to get accustomed to what it will actually look like, and see that you are soothing yourself and being a good momma is amazing. You are not a bad person for taking a quick break to eat and take care of yourself!

[@kellik0809]

Your doing great ❤ anyone with babies and kids know what your going through! You are strong 💪🏼 and doing amazing!! Is he always gone every weekend and every night? Maybe you guys can get someone you trust to come in just one night on the weekends or maybe even just one night on the weekends and help with Harlow? Just a little bit of help truly makes the load 100% better. Or maybe a night time. At ride to get both babies to sleep? A had to do that a lot of nights with my daughter at harllows age. But I will be praying for you girl!!! Just remember Your a great mom!!

[@KristenxLeanne]

Thank you!

[@redray9146]

Take your time to burp the baby. As a mother of 7, that is one of the biggest things for a fussy baby. Even if it takes a minute to get that burp out. Your a rock star mama. The hard times make the sweet times even sweeter🌸

Kristen, I have been here for years. I'm so glad to have been around and seen so much of your life.. these videos literally just feel like hanging with an old friend while the kids do what kids do. I'm not a mom but it seems to me that you're doing great! Even being solo. ♡

[@louisesharpy]

I know it’s really hard. And don’t ever EVER FEEL LIKE YOU ARE DOING ANYTHING WRONG OR THAT ITS NOT OK ..He seems like he has a gassy tummy. When they lift their legs up a lot and are uncomfortable!! Move his legs up and down and take your hands of his tummy and move his stomach all around. My sister had a colic kid. It is so helpful also Harlow feels like she may miss things and why her nap and sleep is off. She feels a tad jealous and like wants your attention

[@TMSsquared]

You got this hun. I feel it's so hard most of the time. I wish i had more help to watch my kids though. Random... say yes to the dress just posted a video on your wedding dress. I thought it was interesting that they just posted it.

[@Mandela219]

Aww i teared up at the ending there. Been there and now about to do it again 11 years later with baby #2 look into magnesium sprays and lotions for your babies and as the pediatrician about them for calming them for bedtime. Ive only recently discovered it and have been using it on myself and husband to help get a more restful night sleep and its magical. The only downside is that if tou are low in magnesium it can feel like a slight uncomfortable tingling sensation while it is absorbed. For that they recommend using a magnesium lotion to slow the absorption down to help prevent that.

[@Kaylinsummer]

I don’t have kids but want some one day. I just wanted to say good for you for acknowledging that it is sometimes overwhelming & you need a few minutes alone to reset. THAT’S what makes you an amazing mom. In order to give your best, you have to be at your best ❤

Kristen, all mothers have overwhelming moments. It doesn't hurt the child to cry. While you collect your thoughts. Prayers & good vibes sent your way. We're all rooting for you! ❤ My step sad would always turn the TV volume way up due to his hearing loss. We bought his TV earphones. Which would work for nick.

Mom of 2 here. They are big now. It’s called witching hour that time of the evening. First week after we got home from hospital with my second it was crazy! New born was screaming and my daughter 3 at the time was screaming and even I had help she wouldn’t let anybody come close to her only me. Hang in there it will get better ones you get in to routine with new born. I was also sleeping in different room with my new born. It was easier for everybody.

[@belovedobserver]

So impressed with all the baby wearing. I gotta get better at it next baby. It’s so hard to be alone. My husband works long hours too, not firefighter hours thankfully 😢 I work every third weekend 2 12 hour shifts, so it’s kind of nice in a way for my husband to be alone with the kids all day, it really helps him understand what I’m going through on the hard days.

[@smcint81]

My daughter spit up a lot. Her pediatrician had me add rice cereal and she stopped spitting up. Also, I had many many moments of crying fits (myself). When I had my daughter I was by myself 18 hours a day. I barely had time to eat anything until my daughter's father got off at midnight. It's ok to not be ok.

[@comptonphoto]

You’re doing amazing! The newborn phase is SO. TOUGH. My heart hurt watching you cry. I’m expecting my second in January and this hit hard lol

[@mariahcassadym]

You are doing so good!! Put that baby down if you need to and step away! It is okay!

Thank you!

You have my support! My boys are almost 4 years apart, but I did the parenting solo with help from my parents while I worked. Your babies are so adorable!

You got that girl. It is hard as hell. But it gets easier. You'll get a routine that works for the babies and you. ❤❤

I have my 22 months daughter and an almost 4 months baby. First like 2 months my oldest daughter had night terrors and I searched and it can be caused by having a new baby in the family. I started using a humidifier with lavender oil from frida and she stopped having the night terrors.

[@kirstiefurno7836]

Ugh you breaking down is the hardest part about being a mom 🥹😔There is very little time for YOU but you're absolutely right..Take 5 mins even if it's to scream and cry.. it is not easy.. hang in there ❤️
