:) Great news and I hope Letizia will soon make it a trifecta of royal babies! Mette-Marit and Haakon seem very devoted parents and she looks even more stunning when she's expecting IMHO. Best wishes to all!

[MoonlightRhapsody]

A little early for the court to announce that she's pregnant, isn't it? If she's due in December 2005, then that means she conceived in March. That would make it only a month...Don't royal courts normally announce pregnancies after three months?

Norway has indeed had a tradition of waiting the three months. Especially, I believe after then Crown Princess Sonja had two miscarriages. But, as Mette-Marit explained when she met the press yesterday, she's had a bout of nausea that has forced her to cancel some of her appointments. That is the reason for them going out with the news so soon.

Mette-Marit strålte utenfor morens hjem på Høivold brygge. Mandag annonserte hun og kronprinsen at de skal ha enda et barn.

Vi gleder oss veldig. Det blir kjempehyggelig, sier paret utenfor morens hjem på Høivold brygge.

Mette-Marit ler når hun blir spurt om hun merker noe til graviditeten:

- Veldig mye. Det er derfor vi går ut nå, sier hun.

Fremover skal de følge programmet, og det blir ifølge Mette-Marit foreløpig ingen endringer.

De vet ikke hvilket kjønn den lille har, og har heller ikke tenkt på noe navn.

Kronprinsesse Mette-Marit har termin i desember.

Etter råd fra sin lege vil kronprinsesse Mette-Marit ta det med ro i en periode fremover.

Situasjonen er ikke dramatisk, men legens råd vil kunne medføre endringer i hennes program senere, går det fram av en pressemelding fra kongehuset.

I Kristiansand

Kronprinsessen oppholder seg for tiden i Kristiansand, der hun tirsdag skal være til stede ved åpningen av Barnefilmfestivalen.

Onsdag skal kronprinsesse Mette-Marit etter planen åpne en utstilling om 1905 på Kvinnemuseet på Kongsvinger.

Torsdag skal dronning Sonja og hennes svigerdatter etter planen være til stede ved åpningen av en utstilling på Folkemuseet i Oslo.

Omfattende program

Kronprinsparet har en rekke store reiser og arrangementer på programmet utover året.

Først er det statsbesøk fra Japan i neste uke, deretter står offisielt besøk til Polen på kronprinsparets program.
Det er også flere arrangementer i forbindelse med hundreårsmarkeringen for unionsoppløsningen som det er naturlig at kronprinsesse Mette-Marit deltar i.

Til høsten skal kronprinsparet etter planen blant annet gjennomføre en stor rundreise i det «norske» Amerika. Om denne turen kan gjennomføres for en høygravid kronprinsesse gjenstår å se.

Mer på de andre

Når kong Harald fortsatt er rekonvalesent etter hjerteoperasjonene, prinsesse Märtha Louise har fødselspermisjon og kronprinsessen må legge om programmet på grunn av graviditeten, er det bare dronning Sonja og kronprinsregenten som kan påta seg alle de planlagte representasjonsoppgavene.

Også dronning Sonja har fått legenes beskjed om å ta det litt mer med ro fremover, men foreløpig ser det ikke ut til at hun har tenkt å følge dette rådet.

Sammen med kronprinsregenten skal hun være vertskap for det japanske keiserparet neste uke, og i tillegg står en rekke oppgaver i kø for dronningen, som trolig ikke får det mindre travelt i tiden fremover.

Mette-Marit: Happy at home

Mette-Marit was beaming outside of her mother´s home at Høivold on the quay or pier there.(Must be on a lake). On Monday it was announced that she and the Crown Prince will be having another child.

We are very delighted. It will be very pleasant or nice said the couple outside of her mother´s house on the pier.

Mette-Marit laughed when asked if she detected any signs of of a pregnancy:

- Very much so. It´s very much as according to the way these things go, said she(I guess she means you just know it in your heart especially if you´ve been pregnant before).

About the upcoming programs which she will partake, she said as of now, there will be no alterations. They do not know yet the gender of the baby. The Crown Princess is due in December. Under the advice of her doctor, the Crown Princess will be taking it easy(slowing down) at some point in the future. The situation is not dramatic, mind you, but the doctor´s advice will mean that at some time in the future, alterations to her schedule may occur, it was said in a press release by the Royal House.

The Crown Princely couple have a sequence of big trips and engagements on their plate this year. First there was a visit to Japan and then next week, according to the schedule, they will visit Poland on an official visit. There are also many engagements in connection to the 100th anniversary of the nation this year that Crown Princess Mette Marit may not naturally attend. In the Autumn, the Crown Princely Couple will carry out, among other things, a large whirlwind tour of "Norwegian" America.(* Looks at map in confusion). About this tour, it remains to be seen whether or not, the, by then, heavily pregnant(or in a total mistranslation, the "tall and pregnant") Crown Princess will partake.

As King Harald continues to recover from his heart operation, and Princess Märtha Louise(:)) is on maternity leave and as Crown Princess will have a lighter schedule because of her pregnancy, it is only Queen Sonja and Crown Prince Haakon who will be able to assume all of the Royal House´s planned responsibilities in the future. Also Queen Sonja has received news from her doctor that she should take it easy in the future. But for the time being, it does not look like she has agreed to follow this particular piece of advice.

Along with the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess will be welcoming the Emperor and Empress of Japan on their visit to Norway next week and she will stand in for the queen as it is not likely that she will be getting any less busy in the months ahead.

I am surprised they announced it so early. You think it was to stop the press from speculating?

Thank you for translating the article, Dennis.
A coincidence and nothing more. It could have happened with any letter.

Ok!! I'm glad for them!! :)

Thanks for translating Dennis!

You´re welcome.

Good translation. Just a correction, Dennism, as there have been several people asking why they're going public with it.

"Mette-Marit ler når hun blir spurt om hun merker noe til graviditeten: - Veldig mye. Det er derfor vi går ut nå, sier hun." In English that would be:

Mette-Marit laughs when she's asked if she notices the pregnancy. "Very much. That's why we're going public with it, now," she says.


And explain why they're going public even if the pregnancy is still in its early stage.
