Hi! I'm Ashley. I am a stay at home mom to 3 beautiful children. I've been with my husband for almost 11 years. We met my JR year of high school. He is 2 years older than me and I had lost all confidence in myself. He showed me otherwise. He was always there for me, even when we were broken up for 2 months. He took me to school every morning even when he didn't get much sleep the night before due to his work schedule. He wanted to make sure I got there safe and didn't have to stand in the cold and snow in the winter. He got me a promise ring for out first year anniversary. I found out I was pregnant at the end of my SR year of high school. He was right by my side when I told my parents and he was at every doctors apt holding my hand. He was there when I screamed because I knew out son would be arriving 13 weeks early. He was at the hospital everyday in the NICU for 58 days while we watched our son become healthy and strong and beat the odds. They told us numerous times that our son would have CP due to grade 4 brain bleeds, he had sepsis and told us to prepare for the worst, and they said he was having trouble gaining weight and was losing weight(we found out the scale was broken on his bed, when he dirtied his incubator when the RN was changing his diaper). He doesn't have CP and he is ALIVE! He is now 8 years old and in Advanced learner classes. He plays soccer and LOVES building with is LEGOS. He has asthma due to his prematurity. He had to have his tonsils and adenoids removed and he also had to have a PDA surgically repaired.
We have had 2 more children full term. I found out I had incompetent cervix and had to have a cerclage with both of the pregnancies. My daughter is 5 and loves soccer and hanging out with her older brother. She loves to sing and dance just as much as she likes to get dirty! My youngest son is almost 3 and he LOVES all sports especially soccer and basketball. He is a rough and tumble kind of boy for sure and a bit more daring than I want. He keeps me on the edge of my seat. He likes to get on his brother's skateboard and ride it more than him and try to do "tricks." This boy make me a nervous wreck but I love him for it. I love the family that God has blessed me with and I hope you will follow us on our journey.
