In a March 1 Instagram post, Ashley shared an adorable snap from a maternity photoshoot she recently did with Dean, in which the mother-son duo is rocking matching outfits. She wrote a heartfelt message to her little boy in the caption, gushing, “It’s really hitting me — these are the last moments of Dean being my only baby. While I’m beyond words excited for our growing family, I have to give space and acknowledgement for the journey Dean and I have been on thus far.” 

“He’s a magical little human and I count my lucky stars every single day that I get to be his mother,” she continued. 

Ashley also shared a few other photos from her gorgeous shoot, including one in which she’s sporting a fabulous baby blue look. “To say I’m on cloud 9 would be an understatement of epic proportions,” she captioned the photo. 

In another post shared on March 2, Ashley shared a photo of herself in a tub full of colorful flowers to share some exciting news. 

“We are moments away from uniting with our sweet son,” she wrote. “I’m experiencing every emotion in the rainbow right now.”
