Hi Everyone,
My name is Vickie. I am black and my DH is white ( all Irish). We have ben married 5 years tomorrow!
We have 2 kids- DS will be 3 in July and DD will be 15 months next week.
I think this boad is a good idea. Hopefully I will have time to post- I moslty lurk on WEBMD and post occasionally on the pregnant after 35 board, though I am not pregnant and don't plan to be again.
When I get chance I will post a picture of DC but to me, my DD and Kfitz's DD look like they share some genes! LOL!

Well your DD must be ADORABLE then! Welcome to the board and I look forward to communicating with you. So your children are only 15 months apart. Mine will be about 13 months apart so any advice you may want to share would be appreciated! I have a 7 month old and I am 4 months pregnant now (due in September). Oh, and I can't wait to see the pics!

I love Dalton! My cousin's married last name is Duncan and I love that too! It would be wierd to name my baby that since it is her last name. I love Michael Clarke Duncan too! He was hilarious in Welcome home Roscoe Jenkins and awesome in the Green Mile.

Welcome! Can't wait to get your perspective on things as a Black woman with a White husband. So many times when it comes to black/white biracial babies, it's the other way around and we hear the white woman's perspective. No offense to ANYONE on here! I'm just really interested in getting a different POV.

WWilson89 ( Wanda),
I'm a big time lurker since I was pregnant with DD, so I;'ve seen planty of posts by you on the old 3rd trimester boardsa nd the aprneting boards. My DD was born just after your DS- 12/23/08.
I mostly lurk because I must be the most disorganized person in the world but I never have time to post- but I am trying harder! I will have pictrues of my DC up this weekend. I have to upload my camera first and my sister is yelling at me to do it to send her pictures from her weekend with them, and her nagging always motivates me.
I agree about most of the biracial families I've seen on WEBMD not having a black woman- so I'll share my experiences- but I have to warn everyone I am not remotely PC- but I love/hate everyone equally. I hate truly racist, prejudiced or stupid people & policies but have laughed at (or told) a totally inapproropriate joke). I do wonder how my general 'who cares' attitude will affect my chilren since they are biracial and I am not-though my family tree is as full of nonblacks as a lot of black americans. People always ask my if I am Spanish. I grew up in DC in the 70s and 80s- then it was the blackest place in America.
I live in NYC so there is every possible combination of bi-racial families- though we still get tons of looks! And if I wasn't there, people would usually not think my DC are black. MY DH and I notice that there seem to be more black women with men of other races- we call the days when we notice a lot of these couples- 'Walk your black Woman day!'
