Tami!!!!!!! I'm glad you decided to join all us fickle, impulsive baby makers. ;-) hehe

Sod your friend! Sounds like she hasn't let herself see things from your perspective and is being very judgemental and rude. I'm glad you are moving on and ignoring her... don't let it stress you out and just let it wash by you. Maybe later, once you are pregnant, you can talk to her and tell her how much her lack of faith and understanding hurt you...or not...sometimes a social enema is just what the doctor ordered.

I know I agonized literally FOR YEARS over whether I could be a good parent alone... I didn't start this roller coaster of ttc until I was sure it was what I was meant to be doing and that I was prepared to deal with the ups and downs along the way.

Of all my friends, only one was negative and judgemental, but she's always like that about everything I do so I didn't really expect any different. We had talked before I even started TTC and all she could say were condescending negative things about how raising kids was really really hard...and I didn't know what it meant to be a single mum...bla bla bla. When I told her about TTC she didn't say anything but gave me the disapproving "Hmm" then silence. I basically have just ignored her since. Not because I put any power into her words, but because what kind of friend is she if she doesn't have faith in my judgement on something as big as this? Luckily, for the one friend who's a naysayer, there are 10 others going "OMG! You're going to be the best mother ever!"... so hang in there.

Again, welcome to this great group of ladies and I hope you'll stick around and share your journey with us. These ladies are super and I think I might have barfed on the rollercoaster long ago if they hadn't been holding my hand.
