I know being our Papas is a lot, that we are a lot... but you keep coming home, so I assume there is no need to change now! Thank you for making sure we want for nothing + for this very beautiful life. Happy first Father’s Day @dolewite101 we love you to the moon + back💚 <more sweet pics of these #twinsies on my story> #TheRaymerTwins #SellieAndHerPapa
Whispering Papa bc it’s Papa’s Day Weekend @dolewite101 💚 #WhispersPapaBuyMeThat #sweetselahraymer
I’ve been wearing her almost every day since she was about 3weeks old + wearing her is by far one of my favorite things about being a mother. Well... wearing + hats with ears🐰. - Sharing some of my favorite wearing moments in my story to celebrate #blackbabywearingweek2018 #blackbabywearing #sweetselahraymer
Just wanted to say thank you to this community, to you. Before I had Selah, I struggled with how much I would share of her bc the world + the internet can be savage AF. - Every week, I tell @charmsie “I think I’m gonna share less of Sellie” and then she goes + does something so fucking cute (I mean, look at her drooling here😍), that it really is hard to keep her all to myself😂! And, it all works out bc you all share the most beautiful + kind things with me. I feel the love + support everyday. I try to thank you (❤️) for each comment + I hope you feel the love right back. I am grateful to have this space to be me, to become the mother I am trying to be + to share my beautiful family. I am grateful for you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you💚 #sweetselahraymer #theraymergirls
We went to her 9mo check up today, and she was cheeky + full of funny faces. She weighs less than she did at 6mo + is already 30in long... that’s right, my 9mo old is 6in shy of 3ft😂 Apparently, she is getting my brothers’ height + will be a supermodel, an athlete or a really really tall astrophysicist or SAHM💁🏽‍♀️. - The park is our new jam. She’s not so much into the slide, but the swings are growing on her. She loves loves loves to watch + talk to (read high pitch screams) the big kids, and be very very cheeky. Although this behavior is not at all limited to the park. Swipe left to see cheeky behavior + a possible princess Charlotte in the making 😂. Being her mom is the best shit ever. Ever. #sweetselahraymer #theraymergirls
My mother’s daughter 🌱 - Bird of Paradise is my favorite plant. They’re so majestic. I never had one bc I didn’t think I could keep one alive, but I got cocky after Agatha (my monstera) flourished + here we are. - I named her Dot, after my great-grandmother Dorothy. I name all my plants with strong old lady names, Agatha, Maggie, Gertie, Matha Jean... you know the type of lady who ain’t here for your shit + lives to 94! Anyways, my great-grandma has been with me since Selah was born. I feel her all the time + have been channeling her spirit as I keep us all alive. I’m hoping she helps keep my Bird of Paradise alive too🤞🏽. Welcome home Dottie💚

1.2.17 // 5wks pg // last time on the mat - I returned to the mat this morning + it was bittersweet. I stopped practicing right after I found out I was pregnant bc I was scared something would happen... pregnancy after loss will do that to you. I kept saying that I’d return in the 2nd tri and then I had fainting spells + couldn’t. So, I said I’d return in the 3rd tri, but I got stuck on the floor once being cute for the gram, and that was lesson enough for me😂. Then I said I’d return after I had her, but I had a c-section + it took a long time to feel able or even at home in my own body. It took a while to be here... to be ready to unpack all this baggage + ready to do the work. - So while I was over the moon to have made it back, I wasn’t surprised as the tears streamed down bc I used to be able to do so much + now I can barely sit in horse (plié)... And, while i know I will get back to where I was, it’s a hard pill to swallow that something you’ve worked your whole life to do, effortlessly, was taken away in a matter of months. - This is the work. Acknowledge + honor all the feels. Unpack to move through, to move forward... to move freely✨
