She already has a bump, and it's big. I think she's due in April and not in May, what do you think? Another big Borbon.

I think it looks ok for a 3months pregnancy,Maxima's bump looks rather bigger

I think Maxima is due earlier than her announced due date (April) too. Some royal houses don't give us the right due dates. Leonor was supposed to be born in November, but she was born in October.

but it isn't the fault of the royal houses--it might have been the babies'. if science, or popular belief, is followed, first borns usually take longer time to born, sometimes past the predicted due date but as it happened with Leonor and Christian they were born earlier than the predicted due date.

hopefully, the Princess will carry the next baby to full term and i hope the birth goes well.

I believe that to be pregnancy of something more of 3 months, her bump has already a good size. The jacket hides it and in the photos abreast it is obvious little, but in the profile photos one is OK. Normally the belly is seen before in the later pregnancies that in the first one, with Leonor until almost the fifth month it was not started noticing indeed

On the other hand, I do not believe that it could take to Maxima as a reference, her body and that of Letizia they are very different, and it also influences.

Letizia, as always, look wonderfull, I love her new image, she look diferent, maybe fr her pregnat.
And I think that the size of her bump is good for 3 months pregnancy. We´ll see when see has 5 months...

Speech by His Royal Highness The Prince of Artutias
In Royal Academy.

“The Royal Spanish Academy summons us this evening to celebrate a new milestone in her length and successfully to walk. And we want that it constitutes a renewed honouring to the dynamism that they are stamping on her extraordinary labour, this Royal Academy and the Academies of America and The Philippines, in favour of the use and spreading of the Spanish Language. Well they can understand, for the same nature of the work that here one presents and for the royal patronage that shows this Academy, my satisfaction and happiness on having accompanied, shared with the Princess, in the official presentation of the new Essential Dictionary of the Spanish Language.

In effect, since her Director has remembered us, in the last years we have had the opportunity to follow closely the enormous work of this House and of her Academies you relate of America and The Philippines, and we have enjoyed the satisfaction of accompanying them in the hour of the compilation of the fruits of her valuable task: the Spelling, the Popular Edition of the Cuisse, the Dictionary Panhispánico of Doubts, the Dictionary of the Student, and now, this Essential Dictionary that we present.

Though your tasks include all the areas of the language, to speak about the Royal Academy is, especially, to speak about the Dictionary. In this respect, it does not turn out chance that the Dictionary has been, historically, the first aim and the first linguistic academic company.

Gabriel García Márquez has told how his grandfather, the colonel, showed him one day in his Aracateca's house, being he very child, a voluminous dictionary that on his cover had stamped the figure of the mythical Atlas, on whose shoulders the vault of the universe was settling itself: " This wants to say - said to him the grandfather - that the dictionaries have to support the world ".
In effect, it that we are called a world and, especially, the history and the life of the men, is done, is woven of words that are settling throughout the times in the dictionary. There there coexist all intermingled ones, each one with his mark.


It is enough to revise the Table of abbreviations of this new volume to understand that the Dictionary contains the world: the nature informs: fauna, flora and mineral kingdom; and together with it , the reality created by the word: the sciences and the arts, the technology and the trades the thought and her concepts, the social facts...

But the grandfather of García Márquez was entrusting to the dictionary the mission to support, as an Atlas, this universe, which opens another perspective of consideration us. Many of the words that one day were circulating of mouth in mouth, take today in the Dictionary the mark of "fallen into disuse". “

I agree with you. Leonor is born later 37 pregnancy weeks, 3 weeks earlier than the predictes due date.

No twins, please. She is too tiny for twins.

I hope for one healthy baby. Last time she gained only 9 kilos and had really big bump.

I can't imagine how big her belly could be if she will have twins.

we have to remember how slim Leti is. When a woman is that slim, she shows earlier. She had put on a little more weight with Leo, weight she hasn't had a chance to put on this time because of her morning sickness. Max also has a little more meat on her bones.
A woman also shows bigger and sooner in her later pregnancies, as her muscles are somewhat stretched.

But she's so cute with the belly!

It's great to see her again, it seems that for the time being, the royal house will not announce any of her acts, we'll just have to wait and see if she accompanies felipe.

I didn't tell that in the same words, because if it's obvious that the Princess looks a little bit tired I find her better than the last week particulary her look seems more rested.

Bu so, it's also Felipe who looks more relaxed and defenitely the both look great
