Welcome to the group!
Your babies are adorable!
When are you do?
Has anyone picked out any names yet?
I had baby boy names picked out, but I'm having a girl. And completly lost when it comes to girl names.
This name might be silly and I don't know if I want to call her it. Lol.
Today I was watching a movie, and it was about this group of people havig a hard time living in Africa, then they named their new born baby girl "Omala" which means Hope. I really can't decide if I like that name or not. I think I like the meaning more than anything. Mainly because I'm afraid I'm going to end up being a single mother, that I'm having alot of hope that I can raise my baby to the best that I can. So Hope fits really well.
Read through this again and the topic of hair caught my eye as I want my lil girls hair to look nice and not all over the place, lol. OH has a mixed daughter (again blk/wht) and she has such pretty hair, shiny, smooth and wavy, so I am thinking LO's hair will be like that..
Here she is, she was 3 in this picture

love her!
She's adorable. Her hair deffinately looks easy to care for. We can only cross our fingers that your baby will get the same hair.
I think with bi-racial babies, it's more or less a draw. Lol. Put all the different types of hair in a basket, different shades of skin, and eye color and draw three, and that's what you will get. I think that's what makes this whole experience even more exciting!
And for all of the new ladies, welcome!
Faerie, I'm putting you down for September 30th, I guesstimated by your ticker. So if your due on a different date please let me know.
ShanandBoc, Congrats on joining team PINK!
Oh yea, and xUniquex, You have alot of guts going yellow!! You are going to have alot of suprises on your due date. I'm super excited for you! I think you're the only one of us waiting for the big day to find out!
And I love all of your names you picked out for your babies!
And sorry I can't remember who put down their husbands choices they said they didn't like the names he picked out. I can kind of understand why you don't lol.
Some were cute, I hope you two can come up with one that you both love!
Updating all of you guys with your new information.
My DH laughs at me when I stress about my daughter's hair, she's not even here yet, and I want to know all I can. I didn't know about washing once a week, and using special brushes, etc. My best friend growing up was half black, and her mom didn't treat her hair accordingly, it was a mess. I will not have my daughter go through that, and my DH has shaved his head since I met him so I don't know what kind of hair he has, but he's telling me the consistancy of the hair in his family is the soft curls type, not the frizzy afro type, but I'm still going to educate myself regardless so my ignorance doesn't destroy her hair at a young age. I got a really bad perm at 12, and it psychologically damaged me until it grew out. The whole point is, I take stuff like that seriously because I want only the best for my daughter...I think sometimes we are afraid to ask these questions, but I feel there are no stupid questions, its better to know then not know. It just bothers me when my DH acts like I'm crazy when I bring up, "How should I raise my biracial daughter? How do I deal with this situation?" Am I stressing to much about it?
