Okay so I am so pissed off right now at all the naysayers in my life and I came up with this huge rant and want to post it, I didn't call anyone out but I am worried I will offend people...what do y'all think?

An open letter to all of those who didn't believe we could:

To those who found out we were pregnant and told us we should abort, that we couldn't handle it, afford it, weren't ready for it...to those who told us it was too soon, that our relationship would not last...to those who doubted my health and said I could not carry to full term...to those who said I could not go into labor without help, that my baby was in danger...to those who told me I was gaining too much weight, not enough weight, a was too big, too small...to those who doubted my ability to handle labor, doubted I could do it without drugs, doubted I could have a natural, vaginal birth without c section...to those who did not believe we could breastfeed, who thought my milk would not come in fast enough, who told me I would have to supplement, or that I would get tired of the pain in the beginning, that I would give up because I wouldn't want her hanging off my "tits" longer than 3 months...to those who doubted that we could make it. To those who insisted we could not go a full year...to those who insisted she needed solids early...to those who didn't believe she would be healthy, that she would grow well and learn quickly and be amazing...to those who didn't think we could or should answer her every call or cry, those who didn't believe she would learn to sleep on her own...to those who didn't believe we would keep her safe, and warm, and healthy...to those who didn't believe we could get out on our own, pay our own bills, and keep me at home with our girl...to those who didn't think we could do this alone without their help, without someone babysitting, without their instructions on how to live our lives...to those who did not believe we could do this. To those who simply did not believe in US and our ability to parent, to make our choices and make the RIGHT decisions for us...this is for you.

Guess what? WE DID IT. We did ALL those things. From the moment that test came out positive, we have done everything right for OUR daughter, we have made our choices and we have succeeded. We DID it. We did it all for a YEAR! And we wouldn't change a thing for the world...because we did it, and we did it our way. So here's a bit of advice to all of you who are told that you "can't do" something: Don't listen! Take it for what it is, a tiny grain of sand in an ocean of possibilities. Because you CAN do it. You can do whatever you set your mind to, JUST like we did!

And I believe in you...
