Good quick solution, how about we instead add support for the root albumMessage and then have the children follow up with some property? This makes more sense to me

That makes more sense as if we need to change the upload logic some day, we'll have to also change this which could be easily overlooked.

Adding a property like "parentkey" which is a key to the albumMessage should be good enough. It also allows for a lot of freedom as to when the messages get uploaded and allows people to run queueing, failsafes so on.

I also implore you to see what the official client has in store for when more media is added beyond the first albumMessage, maybe a message edit is made with the new count.
