Hi,

I’m new to the group! I am 16 weeks pregnant with a boy ! 💙💙 since the day I’ve been pregnant I’ve been so excited. After finding out the sex I was even more excited and nervous. With all that’s going on in society with black men and especially young black males it makes me nervous more than ever to bring a black male into this cruel world. A world that will judge him because of something he can’t control: his melanin. I want to be the best mom ever! I’m a planner which is good and bad because I’ve been told you can never be prepared to be a parent. I can’t help but think of how I had to help raise my brother and teach him his rights and what to say in specific situations. Having my own son is different. I know my husband will be able to teach him certain things that I as a female can’t but for some odd reason I’m becoming more protective and worried. I’ve been praying and praising God for the blessing as well as talking to God about my fears and worries. Just wanted to spill my thoughts out. Anyone else ever felt like this bringing kings and queens into the world?
