She wants to have a natural birth, and that's awesome! I hope she gets what she wants! But man, so much pressure. It was hard enough for me to pull off, and I didn't give birth to a future king or queen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013/page/2#post-917655 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 21:07:31 +0000 NCSUchick27 917655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so excited about the royal baby, and I have been checking for news almost every day. I really hope it is a girl. </p> <p>I do not envy Kate at all. Can you imagine having that many people waiting on you to go into labor? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013/page/2#post-915110 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 10:22:01 +0000 ShootingStar 915110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I imagine if they have a daughter, she'll be like Quinoa come to life :-P. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013/page/2#post-915088 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 10:14:22 +0000 doodlepoodle 915088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: LOL suri's burn book will be a hot mess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013/page/2#post-915083 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 10:12:28 +0000 MsLipGloss 915083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: @Cherrybee: I lived in England for several years growing up, so I have had a long-standing love affair with all things English! I adored (and always will) Princess Di (especially now that I am a mother!), and similarly adore Kate Middleton. Is it also too stalker-ish that I love Kate's and Pippa's fashion choices? I mean, I only own 2 Modalu Bristol/Pippa grab handbags (okay 3, if you count the first small grab I bought!) . . . </p> <p>As an aside, I was born a few years too early to be a serious contender for Prince Harry . . . although I like to believe I am totally his *type* (blonde and kinda busty) . . . hahahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013/page/2#post-915039 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:57:01 +0000 MrsSCB 915039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhh, I'm so excited for the royal baby! I work in the media, though, so I know work is going to be craaaaaazy that day!</p> <p>I think it'll be a girl, for no particular reason. I've read that they're saying they don't know the sex yet. Do you think they're really team green or just don't want to share? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013/page/2#post-914981 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:41:49 +0000 DillonLion 914981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@girlinred: Oh my gosh, don't even say that out loud! Suri will curse you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013/page/2#post-914886 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:21:47 +0000 girlinred 914886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep checking online, too, to see if there is any news! I'm hoping it's a girl to take advantage of the new law and I also think that it'll be fun to watch Kate with a little girl. She'll be more fashionable than Suri, I'm sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013#post-914420 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 00:44:20 +0000 MamaJ 914420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm excited too. Mainly because when I delivered DS it was just coming out that she was pregnant and was on the news the entire time I was in the hospital. So in his baby book for top news stories I put " will and Kate pregnant". So it's kinda crazy to me that their baby will be born soon. Oh and I'm not British either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013#post-914363 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:11:04 +0000 bisous 914363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so excited! And I really can't wait to find out the name. I think it's way more fun to follow the lives of royalty than American trash TV stars. :wink: </p> <p>@Running Elley: I have always thought girl. I think because I read something awhile ago that said?women who have hyperemesis gravidarum (Kate's condition in her first tri), are more likely to have a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013#post-914309 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:14:02 +0000 doodlepoodle 914309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw on some British type TMZ show that Kate hasn't been out since mid June. Doesn't want any pictures of swollen ankles...I wish I had that luxury ;-) I was waddling to work until the day before I had j haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013#post-914303 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:11:14 +0000 DillonLion 914303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>See I'm so hoping they name the baby the same name as ours...but mine is already here so no one can accuse me of stealing it from them :)</p> <p>I've been obsessed forever! We got married the same year and they announced her pregnancy while I was in the hospital delivering. So we were pregnant at the same time...we just didn't know it yet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013#post-914296 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:08:59 +0000 doodlepoodle 914296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: I guess girl!

My baby may or may not have to a middle name inspired by the princess. :-) </p> <p>@babyjmama: also, photoshop is pretty cool.... ;-) </p> [attach=251/13/mpnbv4.333x333.222054_10150586626340304_896090303_18524310_8166437_n.jpg] [attach=251/13/mpnbv5.469x550.cinderella-wedding.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013#post-914127 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:44:37 +0000 doodlepoodle 914127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: "yeeees I doooo!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013#post-914126 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:44:27 +0000 Ree723 914126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: Actually, no, the stepsisters from Cinderella were Sarah ferguson's daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie. The one who is pregnant now is Zara Phillips, married to England's former rugby captain Mike Tindall. She's also the Olympic equestrian who won silver at the London games. She's the daughter of the Queen's only daughter and the last in line to the throne I believe.</p> <p>ETA: the queen has four children, Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward. Anne's daughter is Zara Phillips, the one who is currently pregnant, whilst the 'Cinderella stepsisters' are Andrew's daughters with his ex wife Sarah Ferguson. Zara is last in line to the throne because until recent legislation passed when Kate became pregnant, male heirs took precedence over female heirs, regardless of birth order. So Princess Anne's children will always be last in line to the throne as Charles, Andrew, and Edward's children will precede them in order of succession. That law has now changed, meaning Kate's baby will be heir, regardless of gender.</p> <p>Ha, royal nerd over here! Not British, but lived in London for a number of years and am married to a Brit, so I'm a bit obsessed! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013#post-914115 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:39:54 +0000 cmomma17 914115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: me too! I remember exactly what I was doing the night princess Di was killed! I stayed up way later than usual and heard it on the radio, I woke my mom up to tell her! I had princess Di paper dolls as a little girl. :heart:<br /> So glad I wasn't the only one up at the crack of dawn to watch the wedding! I loved it!</p> <p>ETA: love actually is the best movie ever. "They will love my cute British accent" "you don't HAVE a cute British accent!" ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013#post-914097 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:31:07 +0000 doodlepoodle 914097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: we are twinkies! My hub got up earlier than usual but I was up at 4 and on the edge of my seat! I loved princess di and criiiiiiiied after her accident. @MrsTiz: yup, one of the sisters who ironically dressed like the step sisters from Cinderella to will &amp; Kate's wedding (I feel like I should be embarrassed but I'm not...)</p> <p>I think of the scene from love actually where the ginger British kid says 'in the states I'm like prince William....but without the weird family" because it seems so glamorous to outsiders...no? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013#post-914049 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:07:38 +0000 blackbird 914049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm excited!

Especially want to know names. My parents are from the UK &amp; my grandma loves keeping up with the royal family. William was born the same year as me. I had a mug that said firstborn 1982 &amp; thought it was about me ;) DH &amp; I went to London a few weeks before their wedding &amp; saw all the memorabilia at the cathedral etc. I was home sick the day of the wedding &amp; watched the whole thing while on phone w my mom!!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/royal-baby-watch-2013#post-914022 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:58:08 +0000 Charm54 914022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: yes! We are Canadian too so the buzz is very big here and we will surely be seen as "copying" if we use the same name. Our front runner is Charlotte, which 2nd only to your Alexandra! DH thinks they won't go with an expected name and instead choose something more unpredictable. Here's hoping! Apparantly they are teamgreen so maybe It will end up being a boy anyway! </p>
