I'm a dragon too. :) I was born in 1988. I was just excited that my and the LO were going to share a Chinese zodiac sign. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/year-of-the-black-dragon#post-47437 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:00:07 +0000 SugarplumsMom 47437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was given a little red bracelet by a Japanese lady I know with strict instructions that I should only wear it starting Feb 3rd. She adjusted the start of the dragon year for my timezone.</p> <p>Here's another interesting article:<br /> <a href="http://sassymamahk.com/feng-shui-spotlight-dragon-babies/" rel="nofollow">http://sassymamahk.com/feng-shui-spotlight-dragon-babies/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/year-of-the-black-dragon#post-47429 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:55:11 +0000 Weagle 47429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no clue what this means, but one of my husband's co-workers is making a huge deal about Sneakers being born this year. She won't tell him why other than "it's good to be born in the year of the dragon." :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/year-of-the-black-dragon#post-47417 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:41:08 +0000 leelee 47417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having a black dragon too! We had always wanted to have a dragon baby because DH thought it sounded cool :). We had no idea it was a special dragon until my parents told us and we found out alot of my cousins (some that just gave birth a couple months ago) are trying for a baby in 2012 just for that reason! </p> <p>From what I know they are the most powerful yet calmest because they are born under the water symbol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/year-of-the-black-dragon#post-47409 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:30:18 +0000 mrs. wagon 47409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom was especially excited because she's a black dragon, too-- it only comes once every 60 years, and this year she's turning 60! needless to say, she's eager for us to have a baby this year... ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/year-of-the-black-dragon#post-47406 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:26:06 +0000 yoursilverlining 47406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no idea myself, but when we told my aunt and uncle (who lived in Singapore for decades) we were expecting, the first thing my aunt said was how lucky we are to be having a dragon baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/year-of-the-black-dragon#post-47323 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:21:02 +0000 HabesBabe 47323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having a black dragon, too! I'm not too much into the zodiac, but when I told my friends, they said their parents had been pushing them to have a baby this year because it was some sort of special dragon. So yippee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/year-of-the-black-dragon#post-47318 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:17:36 +0000 twinmama 47318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having black dragons! :) </p> <p>We knew our babies would be year of the dragon, and hubs parents seemed happy about that. But I didn't know it was such a big year, and didn't know that there were also colors associated with the zodiac. I'd love to get some kind of chinese dragon print to include in their nursery though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/year-of-the-black-dragon#post-47304 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:09:44 +0000 banana 47304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we told our parents and friends that we were having a baby in 2012, the first thing they all said was "Oh! You're having a black dragon!" I'm not into all that stuff but it's a fun way to start a conversation with my old school korean relatives. LOL. Our LO is a "white tiger" (year 2010) which was also a "big deal" at the time. So not sure what to make of this black dragon thing. I just want a healthy and happy baby! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/year-of-the-black-dragon#post-47290 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:02:58 +0000 chopsuey 47290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally remember the geum-dwae-ji craziness! Hurmm.. I've always wanted a dragon baby, but eh. Not super big on zodiacs so if we have a black dragon, awesome! Probably won't though. :) Unless I get knocked up within the next 3 months. </p> <p>Are you gonna try for a black dragon? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/year-of-the-black-dragon#post-47285 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:00:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 47285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So apparently 2012 is the year of the Black Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac. If you are into this sort of thing (or have parents who are), you'll remember that 2007 was the year of the Golden Pig... apparently, Black Dragon is even better. I've heard that women in Korea are going crazy-- in the same way women were demanding to be induced or have early c-sections so their children could be Golden Pigs, there are women going crazy with fertility stuff so they can birth a Black Dragon this year.</p> <p>I'm sure anyone who's not familiar with the Chinese Zodiac is totally weirded out by this. ;)</p> <p>I haven't found anything that really describes exactly what this means, but here's a link that kind of glazes over the hype:</p> <p><a href="http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/Korean-retailers-hail-Year-of-the-Black-Dragon-30173089.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/Korean-retailers-hail-Year-of-the-Black-Dragon-30173089.html</a></p> <p>Anyone have any further details as to what the heck this really means? And is anyone baby crazy for a Black Dragon baby?? </p>
