Six girlfriends

It is great to have girlfriends, it's even better to have great girlfriends.  Emily, Danielle and I met in boot camp class a few years ago and time has made us even better friends.  Emily and I experienced our first pregnancies together, Elliott and Colton were born in 2011 just over a month apart.  Since then we have enjoyed watching our little men grow into busy, talkative and loving little toddlers. 

This post is a year in the making.  It's now time to rewind.  Danielle, Emily and I would often chat about getting pregnant, trying to get pregnant, timing pregnancies and so on.  I found out I was pregnant on November 3, 2012, little baby Smith would arrive in July.  As the year went on, Emily got pregnant and so did Danielle.  Our excitement tripled!  I'm not a huge fan of cliches but I can't think of anything more appropriate to say... what a difference a year makes.

These pictures only tell part of the story.  They do not come close to describing how nice it has been to go through pregnancy with friends.  I believe it will only get better when we watch these three little girls grow up to be great friends.
