More than a year ago, I started hanging out with a bunch of ladies all expecting babies around the same time. All of our kiddos are now turning one. Today, we got together to celebrate Carly's first birthday. It was so cute to have all of the kids together - it was the first time since last summer! There was only one of the original Hot Mamas missing from the group at today's festivities. You can see from the photos that there are a lot of little girls - Marlow will have his pick of the ladies!
One of the great things that has come from this group is that there are now probably fifteen of us in a Hot Mama Group. There is a monthly meet-up that people come to if they can. I've met some really amazing women and find it so helpful to be around ladies who are going through the same stuff I am. Not to mention that it's a good excuse to stay out a little late and have some cocktails!
See here for a picture taken in February of last year of all of us pre-kid and here for our gathering last summer.
The Original Preggos turned Hot Mama Crew: Caty and Annalise, Jo and Elise, Tracy and Carly, Sara and Eliana, Kendall and Parker, Julie and Marlow, Liz and Lydia.

I even got to hang out with Darcy and Hazel (and Grant, too)! Hazel is getting so big and is going to make such a great big sister.
We are so fortunate to have such a supportive circle of friends. Eliana will have such a fun-filled childhood!
