September DTC Secret Pal Swap has ended

I wanted to post the email I received from my secret pal today - Robin Magana.

Dear Melissa and Family...
We received our box of dining supplies for the baby. What a great idea! The sippy cups, bowls, and enough bibs to last many days!!! And the little books are so darn cute!Thank you for always remembering my other 2 children. They get so excited each time your box arrives. You really made them feel like this journey is about them too!You have been so generous to us and everything you have sent was something I would have picked. It has been so enjoyable waiting each month for such nice surprises. Your gifts have softened the agony of waiting. When we received the little pink outfit you sent it hit home that we REALLY were going to have a baby girl in the house! I will think of you each time Lauren wears it and remember the days of longing to hold her and how excited I got when I pulled it out of the box. Ironically, I have a pink outfit VERY similiar that was given to me while I waited for Mikayla 10 years ago. I get teary eyed everytime I pull it out of the box. It was touching that I received another one for Lauren.Thank you again for all of the love and thought you put into making this exchange so special for us. May God bless you and your family as you wait for your little one! I will be following your blog closely.Warmest regards,Robin Magana and Family

I've been sending her gifts every month since November. This email made me feel so special. Too bad the exchange ended but we originally anticipated referrals by now. I was really enjoying buying gifts each month for the theme given to us. This month didn't have a theme but I chose a dining theme since we had not done anything like that and I sent cups, bowls and bibs (as mentioned in the email sent).

To Robin (if you're reading) - I enjoyed being your secret pal and I am so delighted to have met you through the September DTC group. Maybe one day we'll meet in person or better yet, in China. Can't wait to share referral photos with you.
