Let's catch up!

Good evening,

It's been quite awhile since my last post and so much has changed. I'm now 31 weeks along with our little boy and only a week away from the wedding day! Courtney and I plan on moving to Portland, Oregon with our good friends Madison and Tucker. Madison is the mother of our godson Jacoby, I'm very happy to be living with them again since I miss them all so much and then my son will have a friend to grow up with.

I've decided I'm going to return to highschool next year and earn a full diploma instead of simply an adult diploma. This school year did not go the way I planned at all, but in the end I'm not at all disappointed with this decision since it's for the sake of education, and I will be able to enroll my son into my highschool's daycare program so that Courtney will have those hours free for work.

I've learned a lot this year, there is no amount of money that isn't worth finding out who you can and cannot trust.

Blood itself may be thicker than water, but the bonds you make with friends can be stronger than anything you have with your relatives. No one should be made to appreciate a family member that would sooner leave them for dead simply because they were born into that group of people.

I will do anything, to help my child, no matter what it means for me. I will never expect them to pay me for my love and my money "lost" raising them.

Home is where the heart is, and sometimes that means your home is in someone's arms.

Never, ever, in a million years, give up, ever!

There is more, BUT I think I would be going on for quite some time.

Welcome,

Salutations,

I'm Ashley Blaylock soon to be Mrs. Ashley Glynn. "Who is Mr. Glynn?" you may ask, well Courtney Glynn is who! He and I have been dating for 9 months now and we've been friends since the beginning of high school. He's the best man I have ever known and he means the world to me. He proposed on Midnight on New Years Eve and completely made my new year. We will be getting married on our one year anniversary April 17Th, 2009! We are going to be having a courthouse wedding and then planning our dream ceremony to take place a few years later.


Anyways, this blog is going to be filled with the many tales of our growing family. On October 6Th, 2008 we found out that we were going to be expecting our first baby. We were very excited and started planning for everything we would need to accomplish between then and the day our darling little baby would be coming home with us.

I must say during my first trimester I was very lucky, I didn't suffer from the terrible morning sickness that I had heard so much about. I had brief nausea in the morning but never spent my whole day worshiping the porcelain goddess. I craved many foods specifically meats. I was blessed with a hearty appetite early on and was able to keep most everything down. Sometimes though my meals revolved around delicious ginger ale and saltine crackers. I knew that I was pregnant long before I took the test I just felt different and I had this sneaking suspicion that wouldn't die down no matter how I tried to argue it. I was a sobbing emotional wreck for the first couple of weeks, movies made me cry at the drop of a hat and I was definitely crying over spilt milk.

Along with the cravings for fruits, vegetables, and water in my second trimester came the first ultrasound! This happened on January 9Th, 2009 and we found out that we were expecting a son. He will be named Julen Taylur Glynn. His due date was originally June 8Th but was moved to June 6Th after the ultrasound but i could care less as long as our little one is born happy and healthy. I have a ways to go until that thrird trimester I hear so much about but I'm going to love each and every day until then! Oh, and one more thing we should be having another ultrasound in about a month and a half and I am more than excited. I can't wait to see my little boy again =]

-Til next time,
Ashley
