I hope they have a little boy first, maybe to break the cycle of all the Dutch boys (WA, Friso, Constantijn, Maurits and Bernhard) having only girls, or girls first. And if not Pieter-Christiaan, hopefully Floris. I just think they need a few more little boys to balance things out, but I suppose that's what you get when you have no sisters, you get mostly daughters

I agree! Although I like girls but I prefer the boys whom they see first! Therefore the real family of the Europe is full of girls or first girls. I wait that the baby is boy!

Congratulations for the couple!

I just heard on Dutch radio that the birth is expected around December 12th.
I don't know their source, but November 28th was due date.
I think, they expect a delay of about two weeks wich is perfectly normal.

Just out of curiosity: what radiostation had that information?

I don't know if that was official, but I was looking for Nederland 1 and I got a station with a lot of pop-music and they said that the new child will be born a week after Sinterklaas (5dec) Maybe it was still some guessing. Anyway it is still a possible date (two weeks after due date, you know!!!)

Anyway tomorrow or on early December but I hope that they will be all right

Personally I think it will be a girl born around December 12th
I think they will call her Willemijn.
Princess Anita was very sick in the first months of her pregnancy and a swedish scientific study noticed that women who are rather sick in the first month of pregnancy tend to have longer pregnancies (42/43 weeks) and are likely to have more girls.

Carl is the son of princess Desiree of Sweden (king Carl Gustaf's sister) and her husband baron Niclas Silverschioeld.
Or the second child of Alexandra Chrobok, a niece of ex king Simeon of Bulgaria, due in november as well.

Well the second child and first daughter, Giovanna, of Alexandra Chrobok was born in Lisbon on November 27th 2006. (source: Marlene on Royals-Portal)
