I want to be in england sooo bad!!!!

 

[Tarlita]

I wish her all the very best, and a relatively easy smooth birth. So glad the media can be put out of its misery now. I guess we have quite a few hours wait now. Good Luck dear girl!

 

[COESpiral]

Yay! This is not news I needed before bed but hopefully when I wake up the new prince or princess will be here! Best wishes to Kate and baby for a safe delivery!

 

[Jacknch]

OH this is exciting! I'm beside myself! Is this what it feels like to be an expectant father as I'm pacing up and down between my computer and the TV!!?? I wonder if the local shop sells cigars.......

So excited! On The BBC News we can see live St Mary's door...let's see how long does it take!!!

Wish the best for Kate!!!

 

[Poolbabe]

Whoop hopefully before long a new Prince Or Princess will be born!!!!

 

[Magdalene]

I've never had a baby before. Do you think that she is close to having the baby? They seem like they would wait until she was close to delivery. Oh why, did this news one now!!!!

 

[Osipi]

Now we sit back, relax and wait for the announcement of the birth. I was just trying to decide whether to close my book for the night or go ahead and finish it off. With the baby imminent, the book wins!

chants: push em out ... push em out... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out!

 

[principessa]

I am soooooo happy now!

 

[HRHHermione]

Oh god, the express's coverage included a price breakdown for what giving birth costs in the Lindo wing.

How tacky.

I know they have to include the price of every item of clothing she wears, but they could have left it off on this.

 

[suztav]

It's 2:53 am. on the east coast of the USA and I have insomnia. So, I decided to check in and I read this delightful news. Now I'm so excited that really can't sleep!!

 

[principessa]

I hope for her the birth will be not too painful and that she has a quick delivery!

 

[Bine221]

Uffff, finally.
Waiting for a healthy Baby and a mother doing fine

I have a family friend who is in London this month, studying abroad, and I tagged her on my status update about Kate going into labor. I do hope she's able to soak up some of the excitement at being there for this moment in history between her classes, papers, exams and school-arranged tours.

I'm sorry, what's wrong with the Lido wing? I don't know because I'm not british ... could you explain that for me? Please

 

[Margaret Elizabeth]

This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill!

"Early stages of labor" sounds to me like their way of letting everybody know it'll probably be a while, though.

 

[EchoLynn]

yay! cant wait...

 

[HRHHermione]

Nothing at all. I was simply criticizing the news story that included the price of giving birth there.
