Totally forgot she's due this month! Do you think they'll announce right away?

@chopsuey119: Yes, they will. There is some tradition in which a special document is taken from the hospital to Buckingham Palace and pinned to an easel by the railings, as soon as a new heir is born. As soon as that happens, an announcement will go out to the media.

I'm waiting with baited breath, wondering if the heir will be born on the same day as my LO! Oh and I am British.

Totally! I woke up this morning wondering If she had the baby overnight. I'm hoping if they have a girl they don't take our name! I told DH we will have to change it if so but he thinks I'm crazy.

Yes! super excited

Me! I actually thought this thread might be updates! I'm silly, I know.

Yes, I'm a total geek and am totally into this!

I'm so excited! Someone else in the royal family is pregnant too. The queens granddaughter?

@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!

I'm American and I'm excited! My sister lives in London and I'm totally jealous!

@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.

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.

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!

I'm interested! My baby may or may not have to a middle name inspired by the princess.

@babyjmama: also, photoshop is pretty cool....

Omg I'm stalking the Internet waiting for news!!!! I wish there was some way I could sign up for an email alert or something. I'm a little obsessed with William and Kate and wayyyyy too excited about this lol.

Boy/girl guesses??

@TurtleDoves: Thats what I think too!

@Running Elley: I think it is a girl too!

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

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

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.

@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.
