Some photos (looks like they might be from a camera phone) of Will and Kate leaving her doctor's office yesterday: Kate Middleton and Prince William in London - Kate & Will's love story - NY Daily News (http://m.nydailynews.com/life-style/william-kate-royal-love-story-gallery-1.16247)
Speculation is that this was her 12 week scan (Will is holding an envelope that might have sonogram pictures in it). Hopefully everything is well with the baby!
ah - Kate finally
Willy will have the mother of all tantrums over this ...
Kate was yesterday in london to see doctors

Twitter war a couple of minutes ago with Robert Jobson, Emily Andrews and Richard Palmer, and Tanna the pap over the picture issue. Seems like Robert and Tanna friendship is on a hiatus now, as Jobson told Tanna the main George Gate was stalking, not public picturing.
If this was her 12 week scan surely the palace will release a statement any day now with an estimate of a due date?
Yes, April when?
I expect we'll see an announcement soon, though the BRF only announces the month and not the precise due date. There's speculation that if this is the 12 week scan she's due in late April, but it could be early May if the scan came a day or two later than the 12 week mark.
Ah, might fall wedding anniversary?! Since both families have twin history, maybe 👭 👬 👫
You all going to buy a load of butting to celebrate another unelected drain on the taxpayer? :shrug: :hmm:
Butting, bunting :teehee:
@SophieChloe joint butting with RIF posters the #kumbaya by Peter, Paul and Mary.
Whoops. Thanks
@wannable :hug: :hehe: BUNTING - you know the crap that is sold to unquestioning fools :happy15: :blush:
I hope you're not suggesting that anyone who is excited by a new Cambridge baby is automatically an unquestioning fool?
My joke turned bad, #oops # :unsure:

Did you buy Bunting?
Not being fond of extremes, perhaps this is friendly "bunting" :happy15: with wannable? :shrug:

@missbliss and myself have the Pippa thread for our #PippaLinkSharing.

I was just asking the question -- perhaps chilling out is due all around. :vday4:
Yep. Chilling out all round :hug: :love6: :vday4:
Doughnut? :truce:

I agree. Hopefully the HG issue is going to be tapering off too.
Not only do I have bunting all over my house and yard, I have a count down calender on my computer, composite baby photos strung around and a stash of fireworks to set off.
Almost prepared. Only 28 weeks to go :happy20: :happy20:
:happy15:
No one noticed, I'm waiting for Pippa, I will hit the "brakes" during spring.

Well I have that and more!!!! I have a complete nursery waiting with oodles of baby clothes. I'm going to be sending the happy couple an enormous corn and bean mosaic for them to treasure. :P :wink: :lol:
Are we going to send them a huge congratulatory card containing all our signatures and congratulatory messages? I think that would be very appropriate! It would be good if SC could organise that. :wink:

I've got you both beat.
Sure, I've got the bunting, calendar, baby photos, nursery, and oodles of baby clothes (I
really need to sort out LittleChild's old baby clothes and take them to Goodwill). But I have
also removed the question mark from my keyboard. :lol:
Well. If we are going to play the one-up game, I am making a home-made congratulations welcome baby card from scented paper that I made myself of recycled Royal wedding programs. AND I am including a origami sailboat and pony baby mobile that I made from Hello magazine coverage of the Canadian visit. :happy15:
(SC, Daisy and Lima are going to think I have finally gone over the deep end :hug:)
No-one could top that Macrobug, and we will all wait breathlessly for the acknowledgement from KP of your humble but heartfelt gifts. I presume you'll be taking them to London yourself?
Of course. And wearing my Queen hat, my Repli-Kate outfit and wedges. Waving the flag! :Jen: When I get my letter (signed personally by Kate and Wills) from KP I will share it with all.
You may want to consider piecing together various audio recordings of Kate into an appropriate auditory Letter of Credence to announce yourself.
Oooo...good idea. But I think you should do that and then both of us can travel from Canada together and really represent the Canadian fangirls. :happy:
I gotta say this is this is the best Kate has looked in a while ... she is gloving ...
And glowing too. :)
Now I have an image of Kate doing a moonwalk into the obstetrician's office. :P
Well everyone. I've now camped out in front of the hospital in an effort to beat the Canadians' baby watch. I'll be staying here through the rest of fall, into winter and spring. Those of you in the UK, I'd love to have you come and visit. BTW as a native of SoCal, I do have to ask. Will I need anything more than a light hooded sweatshirt and flip flops for the next few months?
I am sending you a Canadian care package. Maple syrup, Canadian Club, Sorels and a Canada Goose parka. And a MEC sleeping bag.
Ladies what to do?
I have panned the wait for Pippa tip, and prefer to sign the baby card suggestion of
@SophieChloe taking it to Kensington Palace.
My plan B will be

I presume you are painted from top to toe in your national colours, and have a large umbrella! Are you allowed to pop into St Mary's for toilet breaks?
Oh, I really enjoy chatting to you all :vday4: Nice and friendly :hug:
I'm off to buy a card, some bunting....and a fridge magnet no less :windsor1:

Why would I need an umbrella? Do you believe it will rain in the UK? :eyes: Restroom breaks have been planned at nearby Coffee Bean. Please tell me there is a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf nearby!!!
I fear it may indeed get cold enough between now and the spring that flip flops may be ill advised. Remember that the area in which MB and I live is on roughly the same latitude as northern Spain, and London is still further north. The Gulf Stream really only gets you so far in December and January.
An electric torch might not be out of line either.. in a month or two, sunset will come very early indeed.

Really?? :blink:
WE HAVE DONE IT!!!! :yesss: :happy20:
We have converted SC. Happy Day! Happy Day! (It has only taken me 3 years :teehee:) Now to work on Lima.....
working my way up to Orchy. Not brave enough yet to take on her :hide:
@SophieChloe will be naming her new pet hamsters Kate and William, I can feel it! :happy15:
I forsee a lot of enforced time on the wheel in their cage....
"You, at least, will work, hampsterKate and hampsterWilliam!" :wink:
I don't think so. SC has seen the error of her ways and is now a Kate and Wills fan. She will be cooing over and pampering the little namesakes. Lots of fluffy bedding, honey and seed sticks and peanut butter for those lucky little rodents. Perhaps a hamster bed in the shape of a crown?? :thumbsup:
IMHO we should take up a collection for the hamster Cambridge's bed, bedding and snacks. :P
SophieChloe will also need to install a 24/7 webcam on that royal cage. Hamsterkate and hamsterwill might try to escape and decamp to Berkshire with little hamstergeorge.
Or, she could hire hamsterpaparazzi to follow them in case they make an appearance at a hamsterpub.
Can you microchip hamsters?
I do love it when a topic devolves into silliness.
Would that make the paps rats? :cheese: :teehee:
calling paps rats is a bit of an insult
to the rats!!!!!!!
:P
Can any of you guys see slush on the ground in these photos? There are allegations around that these are old photos from the winter of 2013 and the first pregnancy. All I can see is a shiny and wet pavement.
I see wet pavement, it raining in October
I had a job at uni where I took care of the lab rats (what students will do for money!! :wacko:) The adult rats were :thumbsdown: but the baby rats were adorable! :vday2:

Not so adorable surely when they are born, as they have no hair.
Quote from: wannable on October 17, 2014, 08:47:05 PM
Yes, April when?
I'm not sure when date of April will be surprise
Baby will come when baby is ready. First rule of pregnancy :nod: Estimated due dates are just that. Estimated. But......using my handy due date calculator and going with the idea that she is 12 weeks as of the 15th. Due date is (drumroll) approximately April 21. Give or take a week or so. Maybe.
(^^new born rats are ugly. Several week old rats are cute)
Mostly expecting parents always kept seal envelope of baby they won't show baby to media or paparazzi they know what having would kept private but I'm sure william is good hide on envelope of ultrasound pictures it's important william and Kate will learn will get more child in future..if you are royals kept more private they won't spy by paparazzi or media..

Thanks to that comment I spent the next night dreaming of hamsters of all things.
:mad7:
There are worse things to dream about. I think hamsters are rather cute little critters.
