Too precious for words

I have a great group of friends that I met years ago on the internet (yes, you read that correctly; so scandalous I know). We're scattered all over the US, were all trying to conceive at the same time and met on a message board sponsored by Redbook magazine. In the 4 years since, I have come to rely on these girls for advice on everything from baby boogers to dinner menus.
Unfortunately some of the babes in the group have endured one surgery or another (a set of ear tubes, a tongue snip, an eye correction and the infamous ball drop), so I've had the opportunity to rely on the experience of other moms as I prepare for Natalie's ear surgery tomorrow morning, and I'm so grateful for that.
Yesterday a package was delivered for our little Natty Kat and when we opened it, there sat the most *precious* baby doll with Natalie's name stitched right on her little baby-doll-bum. An enclosed card was signed by my group of friends and it wished her luck. And although the package and it's contents where for Natty, I felt the warmth and love too.
Thank you Adrianne, Paige, Wendy, Jill, Christina, Allison, Laurie and Kelly! Your simple act of kindness, love and concern has meant the world to us.
