Oh baby

oh don't mind me, i'm over here just eating a deliciously large plate of jennifer fisher salted crow. after years of a perfect royal (prediction) record, i was ejected from my thrown when news hit early this morning that the duchess of sussex was with child. i've been pretty definitive in my opinion that baby s would come quickly, but that the announcement would likely hit after the new year (because what kind of mental patient would willingly embark on an eleven day tour- with a staggering 76 engagement schedule- while knocked up?). but, gulp, i was wrong. our geriatric duchess wasted no time filling her womb. which i totally get given her advanced age (i'm only kind of kidding) but am genuinely concerned for the marathon that lay ahead of her. 

it also explains so much; those strategically placed binders yesterday, the casually unbuttoned coat on friday, the inches of makeup she's caked on. while i'm grateful we can now conclude bump watch, because that was infuriating at best, i wish poor eugenie got a few more days to shine. apparently meg was sharing baby news at the wedding which i find completely uncool and lame. but accept that it would be virtually impossible to hide on this tour between the alcohol and the wardrobe changes. i'm also curious to see how she will handle the second and third leg of the tour visiting fiji etc which are zika locations. 

in all sincerity, it's lovely news. i also cannot wait to see how meghan interprets maternity fashion. they will be phenomenal parents.  

i predict a girl to come early spring, but my confidence is deeply shaken so take that with a salt lick sized grain of salt.
