Boy am I relieved to have company in the final photo of this seemingly never-ending maternity series. It wouldn’t be complete without including the much anticipated Van. Thank you to everyone for the support and encouragement along the way. As soon as I popped (“popped” is totally the wrong word, but I’ll share more when I get around to writing his birth story) this boy out, I felt like a new woman. No more emotional roller coasters. No more anxiety. Nothing but pure and unconditional love in it’s most innate form. Becoming a mother, even for the second time, is such a beautiful thing. I guess the beauty in the end wouldn’t be as meaningful without the challenges that led to it. Lesson learned. 
You both look fantastic!!!!
Beautiful. Everything!
You both look absolutely beautiful
Congrats Ashley on your second beautiful baby boy! I enjoy following your blog and seeing your photos. You have a lovely family. It’s nice to see – even after all these years- that those who were special to me as a child have blossomed their own families. Enjoying hearing about your journey!
