I watched the beginning of TELEDIARIO and I saw the big car, similar to that which Letizia has, and also (I think so) Felipe.

Thanks for the clarification- I didn't mean to cause alarm by my question!

An article from iHola!:
30 OCTUBRE 2005
Aunque, tal y como se ha venido informando en estas últimas semanas, la Princesa de Asturias no saldrá de cuentas hasta mediados de noviembre, todo apunta a que será en las próximas horas cuando se produzca el esperado acontecimiento.
Fuentes cercanas a palacio han confirmado a Hola.com que, después de la falsa alarma vivida por doña Letizia y don Felipe del pasado 18 de octubre, la Princesa de Asturias ha guardado reposo absoluto en su habitación y que ha sido ahí donde se han llevado a cabo los últimos controles médicos, exploraciones, y pruebas de bienestar fetal.
Para mayor estabilidad y seguridad de la madre y del bebé, doña Leticia ha sido sometida en estas últimas jornadas de espera a varias monitorizaciones con las que se comprobaron que la frecuencia cardiaca de su bebé era perfecta y no había indicios de sufrimiento fetal en este final del embarazo a término.

Visitas de las personas más allegadas
Cansada, pero muy ilusionada ante la nueva responsabilidad de ser madre, la Princesa de Asturias ha recibido, durante este corto reclutamiento, además, de la visita de los Reyes, la de otras personas allegadas. De hecho, han acudido a verla a su domicilio su madre, Paloma Rocasolano; su hermana Telma –se encontraron durante los días que la cooperante de la Cruz Roja pasó en Madrid antes de partir hacia su nuevo destino, en Asia-; su otra hermana, Erika, y alguna de sus amigas más íntimas.
Asimismo, la Princesa se ha mantenido en contacto con el exterior usando su e-mail –por supuesto su teléfono-, y ha aprovechado las horas muertas para ponerse al día en las últimas novedades literarias y periodísticas.
En la habitación número 10 de la clínica Ruber Internacional, así como en las dependencias contiguas, todo preparado desde hace días. En el centro, sin embargo, se niegan a ofrecer datos e información de la situación amparándose en el compromiso de confidencialidad y discreción que les caracteriza desde siempre.

La habitación del bebé
Pero si en el hospital está todo preparado, hace ya algunos días que se ultimaron, también, todos los detalles en la habitación que ocupará el primogénito de los Príncipes en la segunda planta de la casa, muy cerca del dormitorio principal. Un espacio que ha sido decorado con el mobiliario infantil que los príncipes de Asturias encargaron en la misma tienda que se encargó de la decoración de las habitaciones de los hijos de las infantas doña Elena y doña Cristina.
Han pasado 37 años desde que nació don Felipe, “el último infante”, y los españoles están deseoso de conocer todos los detalles. Las fuentes consultadas por Hola.com apuestan, de momento, por el nacimiento de un niño, de un varón. En cualquier caso, ya no habrá que esperar demasiado para descubrir quién sucederá en el trono al actual heredero a la corona de España, don Felipe de Borbón.
Ese bebé que sigue ganando peso –podría acercarse ya a los tres kilos y medio- y está en posición cefálica, la mejor para un parto natural. El parto que, inicialmente, está previsto que tenga doña Letizia con ayuda de la anestesia epidural; y para el que la princesa ha recibido preparación en su casa junto a don Felipe, quien ha confirmado, recientemente que, cuando llegue el momento de dar a luz, permanecerá al lado de su esposa en quirófano.

From Hola.com:

Although, so and as one has come informing in these last weeks, Princess de Asturias will not leave half-full accounts until November, everything aims at that it will be in the next hours when the awaited event takes place.

Sources near palace have confirmed to Hola.com that, after the false alarm lived by Doña Letizia and Don Felipe of past 18 of October, Princess de Asturias has kept absolute rest in her room and that has been there where the last medical checkups, explorations, and tests of fetal well-being have been carried.

For greater stability and security of the mother and the baby, Doña Leticia has been put under in these last days of delay several monitorizaciones with which they verified themselves that the frequency cardiac of its baby was perfect and there were indications of fetal no suffering in this end of the pregnancy upon maturity

Tired, but very deluded before the new responsibility of being mother, Princess de Asturias has received, during this short recruitment, in addition, of the visit of the Kings, the one of other people close friends. In fact, they have gone to see it its address its mother, Rocasolano Dove; its Telma sister - they were during the days that the cooperator of the Red Cross happened in Madrid before starting off for his new destiny, in Asia -; its other sister, Erika, and some of its more intimate friends.
Also, the Princess has stayed in contact with the outside using her email - of course its telephone -, and has taken advantage of the died hours to bring up to date itself in the last literary and journalistic new features. In the room number 10 of the Ruber clinic the International, as well as in the contiguous dependencies, everything prepared for days. In the center, nevertheless, they refuse to offer data and information of the situation protecting itself in the commitment of confidentiality and discretion that characterizes to them from always.
But if in the hospital he is everything prepared, already some days ago they were completed, also, all the details in the room that the first-born of the Princes in the second plant of the house will occupy, closely together of the main dormitory. A space that has been decorated with the infantile furniture that the princes of Asturias ordered in the same store that was in charge of the decoration of the rooms of the children of the infants Doña Elena and Doña Cristina.

They have spent 37 years since Don Felipe was born, "the last infant", and the Spaniards are eager to know all the details.
The sources consulted by Hola.com bet, at the moment, by the birth of a boy, a man. In any case, no longer it will be necessary to hope too much to discover who will happen in the throne to the present heir to the crown of Spain, Don Felipe de Borbón.

That baby who continues gaining weight - could approach already the three kg and means and is On guard cephalic, the best one for a natural childbirth. The childbirth that, initially, is predicted that it has Doña Letizia with the help of the epidural anesthesia; and for that the princess has received preparation in her house next to Don Felipe, that has confirmed, recently that, when the moment arrives for giving light, will remain next to its wife in operating room.

[Lena]

Oh, it seems we are awaiting a halloween-bub. How practically for later. The pumpkins and special candies in the stores will always remind me, that the birthday of Felipe´s and Letizia´s baby is coming

I wish the three the very best. Let´s hope all works out great.

[Elsa M.]

The heir will be a Scorpio!!! :)

[linda85]

The heir will be a Scorpio!!! :)

I know that Letizia is a Virgo, but what is Felipe? Isn't he a Capricorn? I wonder what the little Prince(ss) will have in the way of Scorpio traits? This should be interesting. Mary and Fredericks' baby was born just over two weeks ago and now to have the Spanish baby come. This is very exciting.
