This is me at Children’s Hospital with my sweet Emmy Rose...⁣ ⁣ On a perfectly normal Saturday just a couple months ago, we’d gone up to help my sister move. And AFTER all the moving & the dangerous part was done, Jay decided he would take the car to the store with Emery & get all us hungry girls some food. ⁣ ⁣ On his way to the car, he slipped down a set of concrete stairs & landed right on his butt, with Em on his hip. She let out a wail but we thought she was just scar

CONFIRMED!! Baby Galios #3 is a GIRL!! 💯 We saw it (or the lack thereof 😂) today with our own eyes, proving the blood test we had done at a midwives center at 9 weeks along correct! ✔️ 19 WEEK ANATOMY ULTRASOUND today meant we got to count fingers & toes, see her Brave little heart beat & watch her squirm all around!! Baby girl #3 is checking out perfectly!! Measuring a few days ahead like her sisters... & full of tons of energy... like her sisters. 😂 I’ve been holding bac

You don’t need to worry about how it’s all going to work out. There isn’t some big secret you are missing. You’re not behind. You don’t need Botox. You already have a nice butt. & landing the “perfect guy” won’t make you happy. You don’t have to know where you are going before you take the first step. & you are ENOUGH, just exactly as you are.

Did you know I was a barista for years?? I LOVED making coffee for people. It was fun getting to know my repeat customers & I loved getting to meet & talk to a variety of people everyday... from momma’s taking their kiddos to school to executives on their way to the office, my goal was to make every customer smile before they pulled away from the drive-thru window. So much of what I do now reminds me of what I did then. I absolutely LOVE making people smile. What was your fir

Were you there when my daddy died? ⁣ ⁣ My six year old asked the question, but I didn’t panic. As the memories came flooding back of that night, I held on to the peace I felt instead of the panic that followed. ⁣ ⁣ “I was there.” My late husband’s face flashed before my eyes. ⁣ ⁣ “What happened? What was it like?” Her beautiful eyes that look just like my Nick’s looked at me expectantly, curiously... waiting for my answer. ⁣ ⁣ “Your daddy was very sick. And when he di

As long as a cucumber?! Depending on the size of the cuke, that’s a pretty big bayybayy! 😬😂 WEEK 18 in the books (technically #18weeksand2days but who’s counting) & I am getting more & more excited to meet this little munchkin with every passing day!! She kicks me constantly, flips around a bunch & apparently already loves a good session of jumping jacks. I LOVE having all the reassurance throughout the day though that everything is okay! @j_galios even got to feel her kick
