Mamas Triplet Love

Two months since you left us - way too soon. @brandondowns_ @lillianviney    Although I know it’s real, there are still mornings I wake up and hope it was just a bad nightmare; nights when I hope you will call me as you are leaving work and I’m putting the kids to sleep.       We talk about you every day and night. The kids constantly say “Uncle B is my best friend” “I love Uncle B so so much” and my favorite “Mommy play Uncle B’s song - fan me off I’m hot hot hot” - they equally know how much you love Beyoncé! We changed the end of the Heated lyrics to “Uncle Brandon bought me this, that cheap spandex, they look a mess”      In case you missed it, we lost my brother unexpectedly 2 months ago after having a seizure in his sleep. We are going through the grieving process, while learning to live life without the joy and laughter you brought us.       #family #grief #griefjourney

Friday Vibes ✨✨✨        Out here living our best lives authentically and unapologetically!        These kids have been walking around bouncing with their arms crossed vibing, so we attempted to get us all together.        What’s your weekend plans?         #lgbt #lgbtfamily #lgbtq #lgbtqfamily #family #familygoals #samesexparents #parenting #parentgoals

8 years ago today I proposed to Sabrina in Savannah, GA. After dinner and drinks I suggested we go for a walk around the town, as soon as we turned the corner there was a horse and carriage.      After 8 years I’m still waiting on my yes 🤣 JK of course - but when I asked her, her response was “baaabbbbyyyyy.”       #marriage #marriagegoals #relationship #relationshipgoals #couple #couplegoals #lgbt #lgbtq

Happy Last Day of Pride 🌈🌈🌈      Although Pride Month is coming to an end, that will never stop our PRIDE. We continue to live our lives out loud and proud all day everyday; we are authentically and unapologetically US. Despite the daily hate we receive (as well as families like ours) especially during Pride Month, we continue to be true to ourselves, being a piece of representation and visibility of our LGBTQ+ community. The exact representation that someone may need to be courageous enough to live their truth.       Forever honoring my brother @brandondowns_ - he lived his life unapologetically for HIM, he was true himself - so glad I got to witness him embrace his true PRIDE. Also - I’m rocking his Pride shorts 🏳️‍🌈      #pride #pridemonth #gaypride #lgbt #lgbtfamily #lgbtq #lgbtqfamily #samesexparents

Happy Juneteenth!!!    As a multiracial family, we aren’t 100% anything but ourselves. So as parents it’s our responsibility to teach our kids about all of the history and culture of the races and ethnicities that they are connected to.     As they continue to learn and grow into themselves, they will decide how they choose to identify. The most important thing is that they learn about the deeply rooted history and culture that is embedded in them making them uniquely them.     #juneteenth #blackhistory #multiracialfamily #lgbtfamily #lgbtqfamily #samesexparents #twinsandmultiples

Forever Wedding Date 💍💍💍    #wedding #date #weddingdate #couplegoals #relationshipgoals #lgbt #lgbtq #pride

Life been lifeing lately, but with you by my side I know I’ll get through it.     Special thanks to everyone that has reached out to our family as we navigate life without Brandon. Unfortunately, my brother passed away a few weeks ago - having a seizure in his sleep.     While I have experienced loss before, it has never been this difficult; I definitely feel like I lost a piece of myself. In many ways Brandon taught me how to be a mother; as his older sister I quickly learned the meaning of unconditional love, patience and a nurturing environment when he was born.     During this tough time, I am reminded that because of this space we have gained more than what we could have ever imagined since creating our account. We have incredible lifelong friends, a community that is very accepting, loving and kind and our very own chosen family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reaching out - we truly appreciate you all.     I will keep Brandon’s legacy alive by continuing to be OUT AND PROUD!!!     Happy Pride 🌈🌈🌈    #pride #pridemonth #gaypride #lgbt #lgbtfamily #lgbtq #lgbtqfamily #samesexparents

Happy Pride 🌈🌈🌈      Living life authentically and unapologetically for YOU is the best advice I can give. Although I understand it may not be easy and you may lose people in your life, the people that love you for you will always be there. Life can change in a blink of an eye, so live life to the fullest and for YOU!!!      #pride #pridemonth #gaypride #lgbt #lgbtfamily #lgbtq #lgbtqfamily #samesexparents

Throwback to the Mother’s Day 2019.      Mother’s Day holds a very special place in our hearts, not only because we are mothers but because of the significance of the day in our journey to motherhood.       Mother’s Day 2018 - this was the day of conception (2nd IUI), our first successful pregnancy; however shortly after our excitement we discovered the pregnancy was not viable. It was a difficult loss that we experienced; we didn’t realize it at the time, but God had bigger plans for us.      Mother’s Day 2019 - after many unsuccessful lUl attempts, we were pregnant!!! Anyone that has undergone fertility treatment, knows one of the hardest times is the 14 day waiting period after insemination. But what better day to find out we were going to be Mamas, than Mother’s Day. Although at the time we had no idea we would be blessed with three.      Mother’s Day 2020 - WE WERE OFFICIALLY MAMAS!!!       We share this because we know the journey to parenthood isn’t always easy, also to let you know you are not alone. As joyous as Mother’s Day can be to some, it can be very painful to others. Give yourself GRACE.       #parenthood #triplets #mom #motherhood #iui #pregnancy #infertility #throwback
