Probably not light relief to her at the moment, poor soul wink

I think it is brilliant news, and a bit of light relief from all the dreadful things happening in the world at present. So, lots of reports hopefully!
I do hope it's a girl this time. smile

A new life is always joyous, a daily report for seven months plus endless discussions by royal reporters on a name is not , it's boring .

At a time when the news seems dominating by loss, cruelty and death I found myself smiling when I heard about this yesterday. I did wonder about the Scottish Independence issue - thanks for the cartoon Jing, LOL

And they met at St Andrew's grin

Brilliant Jingl grin

Apparently there is speculation that the news could even influence the Scottish vote.

hence this cartoon

Ooh, I am. Bring it on. smile

I'm sure it's very good news for the people involved but I for one am not looking forward to the endless progress reports.

Indeed anno. I contradicted myself there. smile

'Poor' family, Pittcity? Perhaps an unfortunate choice of words?

I think if you've had it severe once it's likely to effect you with subsequent babies. This was definitely the case with DD. She was hospitalised more than once with both DGC.

Good to have some happy news.

She is being treated at home. Wish I could have my own private doctor.

I expect that the poor family will not be left alone by the media now.

Best news to-day smile I do hope she doesn't suffer as badly as last time with the sickness at least she knows what she has let her self in for this time.

The duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their second child - how lovely to hear some happy news for a change. Hope the morning sickness goes soon - I sympathise!!!!
