Wow, I'm really surprised that there are so many of us. It's really exciting. So glad that the world is changing for the better, as in not having racial barriers, you know?
Someone mentioned that they go to other sites where people post really rude things, I know exactly what you mean. I knew that posting it here on BnB was safe. This is probably one of the best sites/forums I have ever been to. Thanks to all of the classy ladies that come on this site.
Speaking of Bi-racial babies... My F2B of my baby girl just got off of the phone with me. He had to go help at an elementary school today and he called me so excited saying that there were so many mixed children and all of them were so beautiful. He said especially the little girls (which we're having). I totally let my hormones get the best of me. I started tearing up as he was exclaiming it over the phone. The only reason I got teary eye'd is because my fiance never really got excited about me being pregnant. At first he was really shocked and scared, and slowly he has started to except it and be supportive by rubbing my belly or trying to feel baby kick. Then today he actually showed some true excitment about us having a baby. So today has been a really great day. I know he will be an amazing father.
Well enough about me. I think it would be interesting to know how everyone met their OH/F2B?
And how does your family and friends feel?
Mine's kind of simple.
About 3 years ago myself and my Fiance met at the new job I started... oops...
I know some people think it's silly, but I swear it was love at first sight. I loved everything about him. His looks of course, his personallity, everything. We could never keep ourselves from smiling when we would see each other, and we kept in contact more than anyone else I know. Lol. One day out of the blue he just said, "You love me don't you?" AH! My face went so red I couldn't hide it. Was it really that obvious! Lol. And I looked at him and told him, "You love me don't you?" And he turned red, Which I didn't know was possible lol. And from then on, we were committed. 3 years later we have different jobs, and we plan on getting married after baby is born.
And how my family and friends feel.
I couldn't have a more supportive mother. She's just as excited as I am!
The rest of the family isn't against us. They're kind of neutral? They don't say anything bad, but they don't really talk about it either. And of course my friends are 100% supportive. Lol.
