Motherhood comes with plenty of sweet moments—and just as many challenges. While Alex Drummond has shared some of the cutest snapshots of life with her new baby, from Sofia's first rodeo to her adorable relationship with George, not every day is picture-perfect. And she wants fellow moms to know what they see on social media isn't always the whole picture.
After someone commented that Sofia "has to be the most contented baby I have ever seen," Alex took a moment to clear things up.
"I've seen so many messages like this and I have to laugh," she shared on her Instagram story. "Don't get me wrong, she's honestly a pretty chill baby, but we've had our fair share of very fussy nights and meltdowns this week!"
Because, let's be honest—we've never seen a newborn that's *always* peaceful. 😂 But as Alex pointed out, the tougher times don't usually make it to Instagram.
"I'm not whipping my camera out to capture those moments, which is why people on here probably think she's always content," Alex went on. "Usually just posting her cutest moments hehe. Just a reminder that social media is the highlight reel, don't compare yourself to someone's best moments!"
This is something every parent might need to hear. Of course, people don't rush to Instagram to document the diaper blowouts and sleepless nights, but that doesn't mean they aren't happening! Alex always keeps things real, and this is just another reminder that no matter how easy she makes it look, being a new mom is pretty dang hard.
Still, she wouldn't trade it for anything. As she's said before, even the hardest parts of being a mom feel worth it. "Nothing feels like a chore," Alex shared when talking about the biggest surprises of raising a newborn. "It's all just things that we do."
And that's what makes it all so special. 💕
