I just do not understand people - Long sorry

So I post about my growth ultrasound on facebook about the baby's estimated weight at 37weeks 1 day is 7lbs 10oz per the growth ultrasound and if that is the case we are looking at having a big baby. 

So a bunch of my friends start congrats and likes etc.  Well this one friend from high school have not talked to her other than facebook in years puts a post that the I need to not think the baby is big because the ultrasounds are always 2 lbs off so I could technically have a small baby and not to get my hopes up. 

I of course responded saying I do know that they can be off, per the Dr. plus or minus 18oz, I did have one with my DS and it was actually really accurate only a couple ounces off.  I am just happy the Baby is doing well and if he/she were to come now with the ultrasound information and other tests the baby will most likely be healthy.

She then replies that she is pregnant with her 4th and due in Ocotober and she does not believe what the ultrasounds show because they are open to interpretation of the Dr who reviews them and that I should in no way have my baby before I go into labor on my own. 

Really I just deleted here post, I dont understand what her goal was from making the post.

    I hate people with the "been there, done that, and I am right" attitude! Ugh! I actually just hate the general population! I know I'm terrible, I'm working on it! Haha :)

    Nice. I'd have deleted it, too. I probably would have unsubscribed from her all together. I have a doom and gloom friend I just want to smack everytime he posts something like that.

    I've personally noticed more of this on these message boards than on Facebook, and it drives me *crazy*.  Just let the woman be happy about her/her baby's progress!  Sheesh!  Nothing like being a know-it-all Debbie Downer!!  I would've probably de-friended her to be honest with you, but that's just my lack of tolerance for people coupled with these hormones talking.  Haha.

    Me and my boyfriend call them the "Waitensees." Like whenever I make a post like "I'm tired, didn't sleep much," some jaded mom will invariably respond "Wait and see when the baby comes you're NEVER gonna sleep!" People love telling you about how miserable you're gonna be and that you have no clue what you are in for.

    Those women make me want to find the poor women they're scaring and tell them how even if it IS bad (which I don't remember it being that bad for me with DD1), it's totally worth it.  It can't possibly last forever.  Yes, you'll inevitably be tired.  But tired and happy.

    Yep.. I know just what you mean.. my SISTER is this way... UGH... and she's driving here from 3 hours away when I have the baby so she's been monitoring my "progress" though I don't know why because everytime I tell her how I'm progressing she just says "Well don't get your hopes up."  or when I tell her I'm planning to cloth diaper or use a specific parenting method and she says "Oh you'll never be able to do that.. just wait to you see what its like."  And when I tell her I think my cats will be just fine with a baby she says "Yeah I thought that about my dogs too but you'll see.. it's harder than you think"...  Geez.. thanks for all the freakin encouragement  Just because you failed at everything you wanted to accomplish doesn't mean i will.

    Seriously why must they say Don't get your hopes up.  To me it is the last thing you would say to anyone who is expecting something this exciting and life changing.  Of course our hopes are up we are bringing a child into this world that we can't wait to meet and take care of, we hope for strong big healthy babies and we hope we have then when the time is right and our labor isn't hard etc.   Just smile and nod at us and let us have our happy glorious time.
