I feel you!!!! My boys are always always fighting! It’s been so so hard staying at a home all the time or when it’s crap weather we are all stuck inside. I think it’s super hard for you as well because during the day the kids are crazy and then at night Lexi is up at unpredictable times and doesn’t seem to be sleeping. That’s so hard!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Your doing your best and that’s what matters. I hope that you get answers regarding her sleeping.

[@MommaAlia]

Yes, exactly! It feels like all hours of the day I’m trying to figure what is going on😅 thank you so much Kimberly💕

[@alisescarberry7891]

No truer words have been spoken. You hit it....Bam!! It’s like you were me actually being able to say how it really is on the daily. But yet still say “everything is fine” Just another reason your my favorite.

[@MommaAlia]

😭💕😭💕

[@addiemosiman1108]

Your honesty is very refreshing. You love your kids, but it is a hard job! Especially when you are stuck at home and can’t go outside. You are a great mom, remind yourself that the days are slow but the years will go by fast.

[@MommaAlia]

😭💕 you’re too sweet! And yes they do!

[@juice330theresa]

Thanks for being real. The anxiety and uncertainty of these times, mixed with the financial and emotional stress is very difficult. Then you add in the stress of trying to be a good and present parent. Times are tough. Speak your mind !!

[@MommaAlia]

Yes!!😭💕

[@Crmica]

I freaking LOVE the realness! Thank you for naming most of the things we all struggle with in motherhood! You are the best, Alia!

[@MommaAlia]

😭💕 you guys are the best!

[@robandjenperry8197]

Girl this is the most relatable video ever!!! I’ve never felt so alone than now...my baby is 10 weeks old..although I’m not nearly as much into motherhood as you it seems like the first 2-3 weeks everyone checked in and “cared” but as the weeks have gone on I almost don’t hear from anyone and I feel so alone and literally isolated...and being in quarantine hasn’t helped! You are not alone mama! I feel you!!

[@kimberlycaporale7071]

Thank you for sharing this. Motherhood is hard And there are just some times when it’s harder. That’s okay. And just because other people have it worse doesn’t mean that you can’t have whatever feelings you need/say what you need about what you are feeling. ❤️. It sounds like pumping every four hours is a good idea. I remember making that switch and I felt so much relief when I did. I hope you do as well. I hope you get some rest this weekend. ❤️

[@MommaAlia]

🙌🏻❤️ yes! I decided over the weekend to pump every 4 hours so we’ll see how it goes. Thank you!!

[@lonnamarie3673]

I love your honesty! I love it even more that this video is 45 minutes! My boys are 6 mo and 2 ¹/² so thankfully they get along relatively well for now. Being a mom is hard work especially when you add in the choice of EP. It's a full time job but I wouldn't change it for the world ❤. Definitely want to see more of your daily chaotic routine!

[@moningross7181]

YPU ATE NOT ALONE! I completely understand where you are coming from. I have a 3rd grader, 2nd grader and a 3 year old on top of my college courses and wifely duties lol we are all losing our minds. It’s going to take us a while to get used to this new normal. Just know that you’re doing great! You’re amazing! Strong enough. Thank you for being so honest and open. Everyone has been making it look so perfect and cheerful making all the other moms feel like we lost our “stuff” lol

[@nerysseupton7783]

Yes, Girl! You are doing an amazing job mumma. I have an 11month old (my only child). Unlike you the first 3 months were a real struggle. But like you said babies are constantly changing. And people need to be less critical of parents. Parenthood is hard we need to support each other through it. Keep it up you're amazing! Thank you for keeping it real. Oh and... I love your new glasses. Can't wait for the next vid! Appreciation from here in Australia

[@MommaAlia]

Aw thank you so much!!💕💕

[@Imperfectmamaplans]

First off, it’s ok to cry. My life is so chaotic at home. I yell, I deal with a child who still doesn’t sleep well and my hubby hasn’t worked in over a month. And we had plans to live move out on our own before this but now we have to put that on hold and rent is going up! You are definitely not alone. This is life and life isn’t perfect.

[@MommaAlia]

❤️❤️❤️

[@kaylaarnold687]

Thank you for making this, you’re incredibly relatable 💕

[@melanie345656]

I’m just now seeing this 2months after it’s been posted and the last half I 100% felt it in my soul! Both my boys don’t sleep and I’ve had to go to my dr to get meds for my anxiety and that has helped! I don’t loose my cool as quickly since I’ve been on it.

[@MommaAlia]

❤️❤️ happy to hear you’re finding something that helps momma!

[@sarahhorton2461]

This video is exactly why you’re my favorite. The last 5-10 mins is EXACTLY how I’ve been feeling too. Right now, it’s all freakin survival mode and we’re all doin our best. 💜💜 It’s all hard right now. I hope you enjoyed that Cayman Jack and the days to come are better!

[@MommaAlia]

Yes, yes, yes🙌🏻 Thank you! Hope you’re doing good yourself💕

[@lindyalice]

It's so easy to watch your videos because you are SO real. You are doing an amazing job. Thank you for sharing the raw side of you and your family with us. ♥️

[@MommaAlia]

😭💕 thank you!! I’m glad you guys can feel the honesty🤍

[@lovas1196]

Just because some people have it worse doesn’t mean that you can’t grieve the situation that you’re in. These are very hard times and the future is unpredictable!

[@justmemumu7208]

Lexi Dean, you are the most adorable baby, with that cheeky smile and twinkly eyes. Motherhood is tough.. i feel you to mama. 4+ months pp with two toddlers, 4yr old and a 2and half yr old this time around.. chaos in the morning but soothes out to the night (though I'm still waking in the middle of the night nursing my baby and pumping after that)

[@MommaAlia]

💕💕💕💕

[@YiMiA13]

I think it’s great that you uploaded this video even though you were feeling the way you were feeling. I started following you BECAUSE of your honesty. Not for being a “got-it-all-together mom.” Whether you are the best mom, the worst mom, or in between...people are always going to criticize. That’s just how it is. In everything. However, we have those who support us & encourage us. That’s what overpowers the negativity. You’re already so brave for sharing what you’ve been sharing with the world. People want to see genuineness & be able to relate. I know I do! I’d rather relate with someone than try to be like someone else who seems like they got it all together. There are so many people who posts the perfect family pictures but have so many issues going on at home. Or people who cry themselves to sleep at night when on social media, they seem to be a happy person. Yes, it’s not always everyone’s business to know what’s going on in our lives, but it’s okay to share our emotions with other people when we feel comfortable. You have done so much for me in these 4 months that I have been watching you. (EP mom here) There’s other moms that I tried to watch, but I just couldn’t relate. Now this video-I CAN RELATE HAHA So again, thanks for being so honest & open. You are my hero & I really look up to you! You are doing great things for people. God will always take care of you. He loves you for who you are & has created such a beautiful purpose for you. Through all the mess, God provides. He provides strength, peace, joy, blessings & love. & he will take care of your family, girl. Trust & have faith.

[@MommaAlia]

😭😭💕 you are too kind!! I’m so happy we can relate to each other to ease the loneliness that comes with motherhood sometimes. It seriously means so much that you guys are this accepting and understanding. Thank you!💕

[@rrp147]

This resonates with me on so many levels. Hang in there, momma! 💞

[@MommaAlia]

💕💕💕💕

[@marycn8960]

Haven’t watched your videos in a while so sorry about that and I know this was filmed a few months ago but this is literally the best video i’ve seen in a while. Not because I enjoy seeing you struggle, but because so many of us moms can relate. Please make more honest and real videos like this. Big Hugs momma!!

[@MommaAlia]

I've missed making these kind of videos and I want to get back to it! So glad you enjoyed it💕

[@chanteltenney9319]

Just throwing this out there. If Mark is losing hours due to Covid-19 he can file for unemployment and still work. At least in my state (Utah) you can. Love your chore chart idea, I like the simplicity of it. I need something to keep me accountable for helping my little 😂

[@samanthaeaton5330]

My son went through the same thing overnight at the same age (he is now 1 - tomorrow) we found that he was seeing too much TV and too close to bed time. We cut out tv completely from his 2nd nap (about 3pm) and its honestly been life changing. Huckleberry was amazing for us too.

[@MommaAlia]

I’m hoping it works for us bc so many of you have great things to say about it!🤞🏻💕

[@capturinglifeinprogress1999]

Just because some have it worse, it doesn't mean what you feel is not a lot, or that it's not overwhelming. Feel free to feel the way you feel. Things are tough, for everyone, and it's okay to struggle and complain about things. Speak your mind!

[@MommaAlia]

Thank you!!💕

[@MM-ys3lr]

I’m so glad you decided to post this after all. It’s hard to put your feelings out there (I’m not great at sharing my true thoughts and feelings either) but this is such a true portrayal of ‘normal’ and everyday life for so many of us. Those moms who have everything perfect looking and ‘got it all together’ are not something we should aspire to in my opinion because it makes those of us who can’t achieve that standard feel like we’re failing somehow and we’re not! Motherhood is tough and like you said we also need to be the doctor, dietician, teacher, etc and it very easily gets overwhelming. Throw in a pandemic and uncertainty to make it even harder....I don’t know you personally of course but you are doing such a great job!! All we can do is our best. I’m at home with an almost 8 month old and also homeschooling my older 10 and 12 year old kids. It’s been tough! You got this momma. Please don’t stop posting this real content, I can relate so much and we should all support each other.

[@MommaAlia]

😭💕 thank you so much momma! I’m very grateful for you guys!!🤍

[@carolynkennedy1083]

👍🏼 Huckleberry Squad!!! 👍🏼 We're all were you are and we'll survive one hour at a time. Big hugs!!!

[@MommaAlia]

Yes!!🙌🏻💕

[@KimberlyAnn]

I vote yes to every 4hrs! For pumping! You will get a little more time ❤️

[@MommaAlia]

I’m going for it lol!

[@heathertruelove6535]

I do every 4 hours at 7mpp. I still do a MOTN pump.

[@MarleyBengier]

Feeing you hard on the first 10 minutes of this ♥️

[@MommaAlia]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@beatrizortiz5881]

So so important what u said about the newborn stage! Everyone wants to help but 2-3 months down the line people disappear!!!! Nobody ever comes around for sleepless nights or potty training !!!!

[@MommaAlia]

Unfortunately it’s the truth😫

[@aliciawigren3170]

This is why I watch you. You’re genuine, you’re humble, you’re pretty darn funny, and you are oh so relatable. I won’t lie and say I don’t watch a few moms with their cool, clean, put together homes and kids, but I would rather watch you and your life because knowing there’s another mom feeling these feelings, going through the motions too, makes me feel Lea’s alone. I’m a full time stay at home mom, going on 2 years now, and I miss my career sometimes, I miss getting out of the house, I miss generating money, and I miss the interactions with people. Watching you, makes me feel less alone in all of this. Please keep up the raw content. I think it can be good for you to vent and I know it’s good for us 💜 thank you for your videos

[@MommaAlia]

😭💕😭 you are the sweetest Alicia! I honestly wouldn’t have uploaded this bc I felt like it was just a mess but my husband encouraged me to anyway. You guys are my people and I’m glad we can related to each other💕💕

[@whatthehell286]

Hang in there momma your kids are beautiful ❤️

[@MommaAlia]

Thank you❤️

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

Lexi just gets cuter and cuter everytime we see her. 😊 My granddaughter has bouts of not sleeping. I think it's during the teething periods. She's one now and still wakes up during the night. Except for teething, I don't know what it could be. But, Hugs to you. ❤❤

[@MommaAlia]

Aw thank you!! I hope they both start sleeping soon lol🥴💕

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

@@MommaAlia Yes, for certain. 😊

[@stacyhines1395]

I know how you feel mama I’m dealing with figuring on how to deal with reflux. Our dr wants use to go to a go specialist but we can until this is all over

[@MommaAlia]

Oh reflux is the worst😫 I have a few videos on it because our older two went through it if you need them! I know it felt super lonely dealing with it bc almost no one understood unless their own kid went through it. I hope it gets better soon momma💕

[@jamesandchloe7468]

Love this! Looking forward to more content, subscribed.

[@MommaAlia]

Aw thank you!!💕

[@jamesandchloe7468]

Brilliant! just subscribed. ❤

[@LegendMuse84]

You are intelligent and will adapt. I suggest lots of art supplies for the kiddos. Hang in there.

[@MommaAlia]

Thank you❤️

[@heathertruelove6535]

Loved this video. Thanks for introducing me to the huckleberry app. I’m going to try it. My son hates going down for naps. Do you use the app for just the sleep? I’ve been using Ovia Parenting from the start.

[@MommaAlia]

Aw thank you! And yeah but you can log more!

[@leago2917]

Maybe the closeness she needs, she demand at night. I know she seems to be fine over the day and not needing you a lot but maybe try to give her more attention, love or carry her in a carrier over the day. Maybe that helps

[@MommaAlia]

Worth a shot!
