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...

Amen to that @ehq, and thank you so much! You are right, no one cared about my feelings when they came at me with all the negativity telling me we couldn't do what we set our minds to! @dottieb

Thank you ladies! I am nervous, I don't want anyone booty tickled reading this but I am so fed up with people doubting me, my own brother just was telling me "it may be different for the next kid, you may not be able to breastfeed" and it triggered these feelings again that no one friggin believes in me even after I have proved all of them wrong and done everything I said I wanted to do!!! So frustrating.... @ehq @breezy1993 @liamisaiah

need suggestions.... So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.

❗ ❗ WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES ❗ ❗ Thank you EVERYONE for all your kind words and prayers throughout this journey, but unfortunately Ethan did not make it today. We appreciate those who have and will reach out to us, but please be understanding if we don’t get back to you, as we will be absorbing this tragedy and planning arrangements for our baby. Extra big hugs and thanks for those of you that have helped us even a little during the times we needed it most. ❤

You know what my wish would be? I have made such amazing friends on here, you ladies are as close to me as my own…

You know what my wish would be? I have made such amazing friends on here, you ladies are as close to me as my own family.

I would just love to meet you guys in person, your amazing. HUGS to all and mega baby dust to those trying
