Who cant wait for the baby to be born,,,,,,,,,
:-D.

Any day now me thinks :-D :-D.....I am looking forward to the baby arriving....lovely news in the summer...another part of history :-)

Kate should scrub the floor ;-) ;-)

It worked for me :-D

Seriously though I cant wait either.

Me ......I am very excited for them :-D

Very true Barb :-D Do wish it would hurry up though :-)

If she dont hurry up it will muck all the pre royal engagements up.......send Kate round to give Buck House windows a once over that should help....we will soon be in August....... ;-) :-D

She needs a good curry inside her ;-)

Perhaps she/he is waiting to be a Leo .................like me ;-)

She can't have the baby until next week, when I will be working in London, if she waits until then I'll be able to pop in to visit :-D

When I lived in the country, I was told to ride on a tractor to get me going. pmsl

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

i remember scrubbing the floor and the midwife telling me "the apple won't fall until it is ripe dear".. how different it was in those days.I hope it is a Leo because i am one too :-)

Do pass on my congratulations, Lynda, when you visit.
Ta very much !! :-D


Karen

She's here!!!! Princess Alexandra :-D :-D











Just practising for this week. How about these little known facts whilst we wait:


1) Genealogists say the baby will be distantly related to Dracula, the 15th century prince who inspired Bram Stoker's famous vampire. Experts have also traced the family tree back to an Islamic sultan who is believed to be descended from the Prophet Mohammed.

2) Finland has gifted William and Kate with a special 'baby box' received by all expectant mothers in the Nordic country, which includes infant clothing, bra pads and even condoms.

3) By custom, earlier royal births were witnessed by the interior minister, in order to ensure that the heir was legitimate. Luckily for Kate, this tradition ended in 1936.

4) The baby does not necessarily need to have a surname -- but if William and Kate want it to have one, they can choose between Mountbatten-Windsor, Wales and Cambridge.

5) World landmarks including Niagara Falls, Toronto's CN Tower and the fountains at London's Trafalgar Square will turn pink or blue to celebrate the birth, depending on whether it is a girl or boy.

6) The journalists camped outside Kate's hospital are almost crying with boredom after a three-week wait, but it was a different story when William was born in 1982.

His mother Princess Diana fooled the press by telling them her son was due on July 1 -- he arrived 10 days earlier, catching the newspapers completely off guard.

7) You can place your bets on everything from the baby's name to what its hair colour will be. The bookmakers' favourite names are Alexandra for a girl and George for a boy.

But you could win big if William and Kate opt for one of the unlikelier choices -- Prince Wayne, for example, has odds of 500/1.

8) The baby already has its own Wikipedia page -- "Child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge".

9) Former Australian prime minister Julia Gillard has knitted a kangaroo for the baby.

10) Football superstar David Beckham has suggested that the royal couple should name their baby after him. "I think they should go for David," he said in an interview this week, adding: "If it's a boy."

I loved what the newscaster called the imminent arrival:
"The Great Kate Wait"

Hope she is a bit quicker than my July baby
1987: Baby due date 12 Jul---- Baby birth date 27 Jul

The baby is on his/her way, hopefully not long now..... :-) <3

I bet it will be announced between 11.45am and 3.40pm..............when I will be at work with no access to the internet :-(

Good luck Kate and be strong William :-D :-D

Kitty she is only in slow labour so it could be a very loooong day, you might be ok :-D

Must have heard us Kitty ,,,,,,,

:-D :-D :-D :-D,

Just hope its the most magical moment of their lives.

I will never ever forget the magical times that I held each of our newborn daughters in my arms for the first time.........they looked deep into my eyes and touched my soul,

:-D

mops brow
and paces up and down :-D :-D
