For those of you who haven't heard....Dave and I are expecting a baby in early Jan. Doctor has given me a tentative due date of Jan 12 and change it if need be after my first ultra sound. I am feeling pretty good. I have to eat often and if I don't then I feel crummy. The biggest thing is that I am really tired all the time and lose energy very quickly.
I had my hooding ceremony on June 6 and graduation on June 8. It seemed like I had been waiting forever for them to arrive. Since pictures are worth a 1,000 words I'll keep it brief and post some pictures!
Dave and I were married 11-10-07. We have been together since 11-10-01. We live in a quiet little subdivision that we really enjoy. We had a baby girl, Emily Hayden on Jan 14, 2014 that we totally adore. We spend a lot of time together as a family. We try to get James as much as we can. Each weekend we are busy with at least one activity (most weekends more).
Each of us...
Dave....
Is a very busy man. He works very hard to provide for our family. Currently he works for South Suburban Heating and Air. He has been spending a lot of time working on the house making it "our" home. When he isn't busy he enjoys watching UFC.
Ashley...
I completed my Masters in Marriage & Family counseling in the spring of 2010 and I just completed my doctorate in counseling education and supervision. I loved school and met some really amazing people.I work as an associate director of applied professional practice at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I also adjunct there and at Governors State University . In my free time I like to craft, garden, bake, or read.
James...
He is 13 years old and has just started 8th grade. He is shy, but when you get him going he is a lot of fun. He is into video games, paintballing, and shoes right now.
Emily...
Emily Hayden was born 1/14/14 @ 8:14 am. She was 7lb 9oz and 19 1/2 inches long. She is a very content baby- she hardly cries. Every day she seems to be getting smarter and smarter
Pets...
Jack is our husky. He 7 and is very stubborn, but loves to cuddle (and steal my spot in bed) Jill is a german shepard/terrier mix. She is almost 5 and such a lover and has the most amazing personality. Patches (8) is our white and black cat. Fur ball (7) (who we call Peanut) is our black cat.
