Welcome, ldt!
Quit worrying. The look suits you.
Mothers always seem to be negative at first. Afterall, you changed her "baby". She will like it once she gets over the initial surprise.
And if your friends/mates did not kid you about it, it would mean they thought you really did not look good. They would have come right out and said it or would have said nothing at all.
You took control. Congratulations.
