Haakon and Mette-Marits visit to Buskerud, 2005

[LaMinka]

"due date for the birth has been pushed forward in time, to the end of November"

Yeah now we don't have too wait to December!

[akina21]

What about November 30th.

[Lillia]

I think M-M has a lovely smile.

Does anyone else think twins might be a possibility with the due date being pushed up?

I was thinking the same thing. Most women who are going to have twins don't make it all the way up to their due date anyway.

Its good to see MM looking so well

Nice to see her again. She doesn't seem that pregnant (six months, I believe).

Echoing my thoughts too. Two of my co-workers have given birth to twins in the past year, and neither made it to full term.

Of course, it could just be a miscalculation from the start... but twins would be nice.

[Larzen]

I dont think it is twins, if it was I think they would have told considering all the troubles she has had, but it would be a nice suprise if it was.

Here is a photoseries from Laagendalsposten

And two more pictures from today, lots of people had turned up to meet them, as a gift they got several childrensbooks to take home.
They have been really lucky with the weather during this trip (she says looking at the pooring rain for the 3 week straight:p )

Some big scanpix pictures from dt.no trough Imageshack

Mette-Marit, being pregnant, I can understand that you don't feel like buttoning the bottom of your jacket... or if there is a lack of buttons on your jacket, but please? Make Haakon button all his buttons? http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=199275

It would be a great surprise if she had twins, but wouldn't she, in this case, have a bigger belly?

BTW, there seems to be a twins-fantasm for each pregnant princess since the announce of the forecoming birth of royal twins in Belgium.

Thanks to everyone for posting all these nice pictures. It's so nice to see the Crown Princely Couple out on official business together again, I hope Mette-Marit is feeling better now, and will continue to do so.

During my "daily digging" through Colourpress, I've stumbled upon these shots of Haakon & Mette-Marit (mainly of her).

I know that this is from a recent event, though I'm not sure which, so, to avoid double posting and bandwidth clogging, I'll post them through Image Shack

[Anna_R]

Now, on to the "Mette-Marit Festival"

[Larzen]

I really dont think she is that scared anylonger since she dont mind going by plane for private pleassure (the press always likes to exaggerate).

Here are todays pictures from UK Press, the places they visited today are typical forest and agricultural places so everywhere they got alot of food to take home, Haakon also said they are considering makeing their farm ecological.

more from ukpress
Nude stockings would have been a better choice both yesterday and today IMO, but atleast she is wearing proper maternety clothes this time around.

[Anna_R]

Some more pictures - Mette-Marit is showing her bump to the children, too cute

[Smilla]

I don't think for one minute that MM is "spoiled" and cancelled all her appearances because she didn't feel like going.
She looks really pale and peaky, and simply not well.
