“Alan and I are so very in love with her already,” the new mom tells PEOPLE of their family of three.

“When the nurse and physician assistant were doing ‘practice pushes’ with me, I actually had to be told to stop after the first couple pushes because she was already coming out,” she reveals.
Ashley first announced the pregnancy on Instagram in April. “I’ve been keeping a precious secret,” she shared. “My mini-me will be making HER debut in August 💗.”
