Moxie Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I know, it is a silly thing to get excited about. Mostly, I just have a girl crush on Kate Middelton and I'm insanely jealous of her post-baby abs! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I forgot that she's pregnant, so I guess my answer would be no. I paid a bit more attention to the first one, but that's mostly because of John Oliver. :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 No, I didn't realize the baby was that close to being due. Always a happy occasion though, hope it goes smoothly for them! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm kind of following it on and off thanks to People magazine at the grocery store, but didn't realize she was due any minute now. I hope it's a girl and I wish her a safe delivery and healthy baby. (Do they know?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMommy Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 We're looking forward to the new arrival. If it's a girl, I promised my children we'd have a pink-themed tea party (we had a blue-themed tea party when Prince George was born, and they loved it!). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona100 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yes, I am watching. I follow Kensington Palace on twitter. I have it where it will notify me of any tweets made by that account. Everytime my phone makes the twitter noise I think she has gone into labor but no, just tweets about the 100th anniversary of Gallipolli. "They" say she is due this Saturday but with second babies I thought it would come earlier. But I am excited but not as excited as I was with George. I just knew she was going to have a little boy and name him George. This one I have no feeling one way or the other. I hope every one is happy and healthy no matter the sex. I personally would like a little girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 With human royals? No. But we're expecting three pony foals in May/June so I'm watching for them. Since their sire is Reign of Titan, I'm assuming they're all royals. One's dam is even named Princess Acadia. That's our first one due actually. It's bound to be a prince or princess... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momacacia Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm not following closely but I do love them as a couple. All my babies have been either due date or day after due date babies, so maybe Kate always cooks full term. Not that they'll tell us what that is. I used to keep my due date secret too, since I didn't want to be bothered if I went over. Now I don't care. I'd just ignore people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 You realize of course that you have now obligated yourself to inform us of any new arrivals... I'd love to hear about your royal babies. I checked my calendar and our official due dates are May 28th, June 3rd, and June 14th, BUT since we opt for late spring/early summer babies, they almost always come early. Normal for royal ponies can be 3 weeks before or three weeks after their due date. ;) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must say something about us getting more excited about foals than human royals. You HAVE to post pics when they arrive. :) I wish Kate Middleton (what is her last name now???) well like I do anyone else who is about to go into labor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 :) I wish Kate Middleton (what is her last name now???) Complicated question. I believe that anyone who is an HRH does not actually have a surname as such, although the Queen previously declared 'Mountbatten-Windsor' as the general surname for the family. Princes William and Harry both, I think, used 'Wales' as a surname when in the military, but this is for convenience sake - Wales is their father's title, not a surname. They must have something on their passports, but I suspect they all use titles (Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn and Lady Carrickfergus) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Aaww, how adorable, a little sister for Prince George! (Everyone seems to be getting a little sister this year, except my daughter.) I love that they don't find out until the baby arrives, or if they do, they keep it well under wraps. It seems like I'm the only one who has never found out. Congrats all around! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're not alone. I didn't find out w/ my dc. When asked if I were having a boy or a girl, I just responded, "Yes!" I think they should name her Angela, mainly because it's my name and I want to get it back into circulation, but also because it's a family name. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mona100 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Just watched them all leave the hospital. I wish I could have left the hospital less than 12 hours after giving birth. I was ready to go but no one was there to do my hair. ;) Anyways, I am super happy for all of them and wish nothing but the best. I hope they put out the name sooner rather than later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umsami Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 So I keep reading Alice and Charlotte are name favorites. What do you think? What about Frances as a nod to Diana? (Her middle name?) She could be Princess Frankie :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RioSamba Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 So adorable! My guess is that we will definitely see Elizabeth in the name, and very likely Frances or Diana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewe Mama Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I didn't realize that they hadn't announced their son's name right away, either. I am curious to hear what they decide upon. Their new baby is gorgeous. I have an appreciation for pretty babies, as all of mine were quite lacking in the looks department as newborns. But they have improved greatly with age. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daffodil Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'm hoping for Eleanor because it's the name of one of my daughters. She would love to share her name with the baby princess. I also like the idea of Alice or Mary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IfIOnly Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I think Charlotte Elizabeth Diana is beautiful. Hope she has a happy life. :) From what I gathered, Charlotte is the feminine form of Charles, so it honors her grandpa, but it is also Kate's sister's middle name! Elizabeth is in honor of her great grandma. Diane is in honor of her grandma, of course. Great name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
