No, really- thank you. Love you guys. If I didn't feel the love and support of my community, I really do now. I lack the capacity to reply to all the comments I've gotten over the past two days.
I also found that this is a wonderful supportive community - but also very opinionated. What works for me (still) is to remember that just because someone else is opinionated about a specific parenting style doesn't mean it's the right way for me and my family.
I almost feel like I need to start keeping a list of all the shit I've been getting. My favorite so far has been from my MiL who called q_e in a panic making sure I'm not eating sushi (she means raw fish, of course). Uh... right. OK- Does that mean I should stop drinking my lunches from a vodka bottle and lay off the black tar heroin? (yes, different, but still.)

Hmm - it works for me when I remember that.
YMMV. (this is not advice, just my experience.)
*hugs* I'm very excited for you!
