I think we all need to support each other - regardless of our choices. Its all about what is best for us, and our families. I hate to see moms arguing with each other. We all have the same goal - living a happy life that is satisfying for all parties involved - i.e. happy mom, healthy children. <em>shannanb aka Mommy Bits's last blog post..<a href='http://mommybits.blogspot.com/2008/03/bizarre-conversation-with-paniced.html' rel="nofollow">Freaking out a Pregnant Woman...</a></em> I am with you.
